Forestry overview
Forestry professionals in China trust the Unimax name for maximum productivity and superior reliability in remote locations. Responsible and efficient forestry requires equipment that can operate in challenging sites and conditions. Horizontal wood chippers and wood chippers process trees, logs, stumps, brushwood and other materials into consistent end products.
In many cases, remote locations for splitting and chopping in the forest require trucks and other logistical considerations. Unimax has redefined the cost curve by targeting loggers and land clearing contractors. Maximizing the performance of Unimax chippers and chippers allows you to load trucks faster and maintain an efficient work pace. Unimax's offset rotor design and reinforced hog box provide owners with the highest performance ratings. High clearance tracks and rugged components provide superior mobility and reliability in remote locations. Check out some of the case studies below.
Examples of forestry applications
Logging and land clearing
From the beginning, Unimax grinders have been specifically designed to provide the power and mobility required for modern land clearing operations. Logging and earthmoving operations can utilize Unimax's advancements in mobility to reduce fuel consumption and overall transportation costs. With tracks and wheels as an option for Unimax equipment, companies can process material on site in dense forests, landfills and even rough terrain. In many cases, this eliminates the need to transport bulky raw materials to the production site - thus reducing fuel consumption and emissions, and increasing profits. They can also shred, chip or crush the material to the size that best suits the end product and maximize each truck load while meeting legal weight limits.
Biomass
Biomass is produced from organic materials such as wood to produce renewable fuel or electricity. When properly treated, these organic materials can be converted to energy through combustion as fuel for burners, chemical conversion, or anaerobic digestion. Common uses of biomass include shredding or crushing wood waste to a certain size (specification) for use as fuel for burners in power plants.
Unimax designs biomass crushers and shredders with environmental and economic efficiency in mind. Unimax equipment is designed to keep biomass out of landfills and into the hands of producers who efficiently process it into biofuels.
Fruit tree processing
Whole Orchard Recycling (WOR) is an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to open burning of agricultural waste. When gardeners need to remove old trees, Unimax shredders and chippers efficiently recycle the material. The end product can be recycled in a variety of ways.
Orchard recycling returns biomass to the land and improves soil characteristics for the next generation of trees. This evolving practice turns a problem into a sustainable solution.
Unimax machines are ideal for processing orchards due to their mobility and high performance. The versatility of the UMD1600's "cassette type" rotor allows owners to quickly switch from a splitting rotor to a chopping rotor.
