The Brunette 4840 Horizontal Drum Chipper is designed with a horizontal feed (including feedworks), and either a bottom or rear discharge. Available in two models: the 4840HV Veneer and the 4840HT Sawmill. (Click the Chipper images to access the brochures)
The 4840 Horizontal Chipper is equipped with a rear access door to give an ergonomically friendly working area for knife change. The knife clamps are designed with a self-opening feature that eliminates the need to remove the clamps or nuts during knife changes. The knife pockets have counter knives for easy replacement and more uniform chips.
This Chipper model is manufactured with a heavy duty uni-body lower frame for rigidity. The upper frame consists of a large access door for maintenance, and a bolt-on removable section for total access to the rotor. The upper feedworks are contained in pivoting modular housing which can be pinned in the maintenance position, or removed completely.
The 4840H4V model features an anvil that is raised closer to the rotor so that the knives hit at an angle for thinner material. This model processes veneer waste rejects, round-up, cores, and spinouts all in one machine. The 4840HT model significantly reduces overs from trim blocks and reject boards. Both models are built with the same robust features as our other Chipper models. Available with 3,4, or 6 knives.
