  • Walki Biomass Cover: Easy Cover-Up Improves Drying Process And Energy Content Of Energy Wood

    Logging residue is an inexpensive and easily accessible source of biofuel, but to improve the energy content it must first dry on the ground and after that it can be stored in piles for several months. To shelter the piles from moisture through rain, snow and ice, Walki has developed a paper-based, waterproof cover that can be chipped and burned together with the residue. The importance of biofuels is increasing globally due to tightening emissions restrictions. Interest in wood-based biofuels has also increased because there are new combustion technologies available on the market that are suitable for solid biofuels.

  • New England Ski Town Weathers Winter With DD13-Equipped Western Star

    With an average snow fall of 16 feet-per-year, Jackson, N.H. is no stranger to snow. As the town’s highway superintendent, it is Jay Henry’s job to keep every inch of it off the roads. Nestled in the White Mountains, Jackson is a picturesque New England ski resort located near Mount Washington, the highest Northeastern U.S. peak. Coined “home of the world’s worst weather”, the mountain produces tornadic winds and local weather patterns that combine to dump Jackson’s bare roads with wet, heavy snow. Six-foot snow banks can accumulate in a matter of hours.

  • Efficiency, Longevity And Production Make The Model 1390XP A Popular 15-Inch Chipper

    With fuel prices on the rise many companies are looking at ways to save money. In an effort to achieve these savings many companies are now looking at smaller capacity machines that will still handle their day-to-day workload. Enter Bandit's Model 1390XP—this chipper is becoming increasingly popular due to its compact size and ability to process larger diameter material with less power, delivering greater fuel efficiency in the process. This impressive chipper caters to a wide variety of industries, including landscapers, tree service companies, municipalities, forestry organizations and equipment rental locations, just to name a few. We know the Bandit Model 1390XP heavy duty version is the most productive and reliable 15-inch drum chipper available, but we also understand that it takes more than a bold statement to convince the hard working professionals who rely upon chippers every day. That's why we're going to take a closer look at what separates the 1390XP from the rest of the pack, because success in this segment isn't simply determined by a basic set of performance stats or teaser price tags—the latter of which usually point to lower quality construction that will ultimately cost more in the long run. One of the most important factors setting the Model 1390XP apart from other 15-inch capacity drum-style chippers is its oversize 37-inch diameter drum with four knives, compared to the 22-inch diameter, two-knife drums commonly found on other 15-inch capacity units. These heavy-duty drums feature reinforced knife pockets, numerous internal baffles, and thick drum skins. The weight of the combined drum and shaft is nearly double that of the smaller 22-inch diameter drums; this is why Bandit has the reputation for exceptionally durable drums that WILL NOT COME APART, and that's why Bandit drums are backed by a five-year "GUTS" warranty.
