HM 8-500K PTO

Crane-Fed               31.5″ In-Feed               40-60m3/hr

When you need to produce high volume of chips and have large trunks to chip, the HM 8-500K is the right chipper for you.

This model has an In-Feed of 31.5” x 28” and a maximum Trunk Diameter of 19.5″, allowing it to process big logs.

Like all Heizohack chippers, the feed system has a conveyor belt and a pressure roller to self feed anything you throw at it. This model also comes with a hydraulic roller at the tip of the in-feed table to help feed small logs.

As an option on all crane fed chippers, a second conveyor belt mounted on the in-feed table is available to help the operator feed the chipper with ease.

All crane fed chippers can be also equipped with a cone splitter to break down larger trees.

 

PERFORMANCE. UNRIVALLED.

Speed Regulated and Auto Reversing In-Feed

The operator can adjust the speed of the feed system with a dial on the remote control.

Depending on the chips size needed and the size of trees being fed, this is an important feature to deliver the right material.

Large Pressure Roller

Working in conjunction with the conveyor table this hungry pressure roller is able to pull and crush tops and branches easily.

The optional conveyor on the in-feed table and hydraulic roller at the tip of the in-feed table allows the operator to easily load the chipper and increase productivity.

Using the remote control, the pressure roller can be lifted to feed the chipper with a grapple full of tops and branches. The operator can push down on the pressure roller to crush the wood down to fit it in the in-feed.

EASY. SAVE TIME.

Create Perfect Chip with Interchangeable Screens

With multiple screen sizes and custom options available, you can produce the perfect chip for your application:

* Biomass Boiler Fuel
* Animal Bedding
* Blueberry Farming
* Mulch
* Composting

Standard screen sizes:
* 60/80mm
* 50/50mm
* 35/40mm
* 25/25mm

Long Lasting Blades

Made of hardened steel, these blades are simple to sharpen and adjust and they last.

Unlike most chippers on the market, you do not need to use a special machine to sharpen the blades. You sharpen them right on the drum in minutes.

Using multiple small blades means no need to worry about balancing the weight on the drum.

When it does come to replacement time you will be surprised how inexpensive it is.

Central Lubrication

For an increased life-time of all grease-able parts and time saving for the operator all Heizohack crane-fed chippers can be equipped with an automatic central lubrication system that greases the chipper parts while in operation.

It can also lube the crane as well. Perfect for our larger chippers that are very tall and have many lubrication points.

Maintenance

Easy On-Site Maintenance

One of the truly great features of Heizomat Chippers is the sheer ease of on site maintenance.

* Sharpen your blades with a flapper disc
* Reset them in 15 minutes or less
* Easy to access lubrication points
* Onboard Toolbox keeping everything at your fingertips

Telescopic Chute & Chip Deflector

When you need to throw chips high or low, the Heizohack chipper is ready for both.

With the telescopic chute extension you can load up to 5.7m/19′ high.

When adding the chip deflector, now you can kick the chips back up when they come out at the tip of the chute.

This is a very handy feature to load low ceiling trailers or storage buildings.

Radio Remote Control

You want to load your chipper with an excavator of or a forwarder, but still need to control the chipper? No problem!

All crane-fed chippers can be equipped with an additional radio remote control allowing the operator to control all chipper features.

Foot Pedals in the Tractor Cab

For increased productivity foot pedals controlling different parts of the feed system can be installed in the cab of the tractor allowing operators to keep their hands on the joysticks at all times.

Dust Reduction Cyclone

Wood chippers produce dust and sometimes it gets messy.

Our larger wood chippers can be equipped with a cyclone system to reduce the amount of dust coming out of the chute. Chips and dust fall down to the ground below the chute.

 

WHAT YOU NEED. ON BOARD.

Tool Box Readily at Hand

All Heizohack chippers come equipped with an onboard toolbox filled with all the tools needed for chipper maintenance and blade replacement.

A drain line with a spill free connector is also supplied along with paint for touch up.

Cone Splitter

Rather than getting a bigger chipper to process the odd large trunk, consider the cone splitter option.

This allows you to easily break down larger trunks into manageable sizes for your chipper.

Camera

When loading trailers at maximum capacity the operator needs to see where to point the chute of the chipper.

A camera installed on the chute allows operators to see where they need to send the chips to maximize trailer capacity.

SAFETY. MADE EASY.

In-feed System Rotation Indicator

This feature shows the operator whether the feed system is moving forward, reversing or is stopped.

Emergency Stop Buttons

2 emergency stop buttons are located on each side of the in-feed table, making the Heizohack chipper the safest chipper on the market.

Safety is a top priority.

Safety Device on Blade/Rotor Cover

This rotor lock device also serves as a warning to the operator if they try to open the blade cover while the rotor is still turning.

The device will catch the turning cog wheel, warning the operator to not further loosen the locking bolts.

Sturdy Work Platform for Working at Height

When the trailer chassis axles are mounted below the chipper, access to the blades is no longer accessible at ground level.

In this case all our crane fed chippers are equipped with a work platform and guard rail to safely work on the blades at height.
