Efficient Processing of Branches and Woody Material

Compact design with impressive chipping performance.

The BX-42S processes branch material up to approximately 100 mm in diameter, depending on wood type and material characteristics.

Softer wood species may allow slightly larger diameters. However, for long-term efficiency and machine protection, we recommend adhering to the specified maximum values.

The feed hopper features a generous opening of 51 x 51 cm, allowing comfortable feeding even with heavily branched material.

Powerful Flywheel for High Throughput

High flywheel mass ensures smooth operation and strong self-feeding effect.

The massive flywheel, with a diameter of 63.5 cm and a weight of approximately 50 kg, generates a powerful airflow and effectively supports material intake.

Additional integrated fan blades ensure reliable transport of the chipped material through the discharge chute, significantly reducing the risk of blockages.

Robust Cutting System with Easy Maintenance

Durable knife system for many operating hours.

Four high-quality cutting knives and one counter blade ensure reliable and efficient material processing.

The knives feature cutting edges on both sides and can easily be turned when required, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.

For maintenance work, only a single screw needs to be loosened to open the complete flywheel cover and gain direct access to the cutting system.

Safe Tractor Operation

Overload protection and robust construction for maximum safety.

Power transmission is provided via the PTO shaft included in the scope of delivery. An integrated safety shear bolt reliably protects both the machine and tractor from damage caused by blockages or overloads.

The BX-42S requires a tractor with at least 25–30 HP and a PTO speed of 540 rpm.

Flexible Discharge and Easy Transport

Practical solutions for everyday operation.

The feed hopper can easily be folded upward and secured with a locking pin for transport.

The discharge chute reaches a height of approximately 152 cm and its discharge angle can be adjusted. Chipped material can be discharged up to 6 meters away.

An optional 50 cm discharge extension is available, allowing convenient loading directly into trailers or big bags.
