CH 260 & LOADER
EASY TO OPERATE
• POWERFUL CHIP DISCHARGE • EASILY SERVICED
•
INTERCHANGEABLE FEED CHUTES
|
|
Whole tree chipping with hydraulic loaders.
The Valby CH 260 loaders can be adapted for
whole tree chipping because they can be fed with knuckleboom
loaders.
Chipping cruiser
mounted on a tractor.
With a suitably sized tractor (80 HP and up)
one can hook up the CH 260 chipper behind the knuckleboom loader.
The chippers feed is controlled by a control box which the loader
operator has in the cab. The operator can select from the control
box for the feed rollers to stop, feed in, or reverse.
Using your knuckleboom
loader to feed the chipper.
One can also use a knuckleboom loader on
a truck or tractor to feed the chipper because the control box, that
controls the feed rollers, has a long cord. This method
has the additional advantage that the loader unit can be placed in a
location where the operator can see the feed rollers |
 |
 |
The control box is
operated from a 12 Volt DC system.
The box is on the end of a
cord, so it can be easily moved to wherever the knuckleboom is
operated from.

Uniform Chips
All Valby CH 260 models
have the same chip mechanism. The chips have to pass through two sets of blades
and an optional
crusher screen before they are blown out from the chipper. This
chip mechanism produces exceptionally uniform chips which can be,
for example, augered without further screening.
Double Disc Rotor
The boxed
double disc rotor provides superior rigidity. The disc
weighs 560 lbs. and has a diameter of 41". The rugged rotor houses
three full-size 11.8" wide knives. The full-size knives are the key
to the Valby chipper's high production
Adjustable Chip Size The chip size is
continuously adjustable between ¼" and 1" length. This
range covers almost all possible uses of wood chips. Some
typical chip sizes are shown . Bottom left is ¼" animal
bedding. Top left, 1/2" energy chip. Bottom right, 3/4" pulp
chip. Top right, 1" landscaping chip. |

Production
The solid construction
of the rotor enables trees up to 10 ¼" in diameter to be chipped.
Chip size and tree size determine production. The production ranges
from 13 to 52 cu. yards per hour or approximately 3 to 15 tons of
chips per hour. The chip size produced determines how fast the trees
are pulled into the chipper. When producing ¼" chips the tree will
feed in about one foot per second. The feed is about 3 ft. per
second for 1/2" chips.
The feed of the Valby chippers is about 10
¼" at the anvil.
The maximum width of the opening is 24". The thickness and form
of the slab will determine how large a piece can fit in.
The hydraulic feed restricts
the slab width to 10 ¼" as the slabs are fed in on a straight angle
to the anvil.
Spherical Roller
Bearings
The high quality
bearings enable the chipper to be used at PTO speeds of up to
1000 RPM. This allows high production and powerful chip discharge,
which is needed when chips are blown into 40 ft. long trailers.
Hydraulic Power
Feed
The hydraulic motors transfer
to the feed rollers up to 10 HP of dragging power to pull in the
material. Christmas trees or other bushy materials feed in with
little or no pruning. Small trees can be fed in with branches and
all.
The bottom feed roller is
fixed. The top roller is spring loaded. The top roller climbs on top
of the material and starts to drag it in. The top roller pushes in
the branches against the bottom roller and the branches get squeezed
tight so they fit through the chute. The turning speed can be
adjusted from a knob on the hydraulic valve. The forward, stop, and
reverse of the feed rollers
are controlled by the control box, which
is shown above. |
