AFM-Forest Ltd products

AFM 35 is a powerful and versatile thinning head, which is suitable for conventional general as well as energy wood processing, multi stemming and loading. Optional multi tree handling cassette and the cutting blade is designed to speed up the cutting and handling of the small diameter energy wood. High feeding power and feeding speed ensure a profitable small wood harvesting. AFM 35 can be equipped with measuring and control system with volume counting and data transfer. As a base machine can be choosen small excavator, forwarder or harvester base.

AFM 45 is effective harvesting head for thinning and final felling done with small and medium-sized forest machines. An exact delimbing is made with four knives and a non-sliding four motor feeding. Tree handling capacity is optimized for small and middle sized stems. AFM 45 is equipped with powerful hydraulics and the automatic chain tensioning to ensure the efficient felling and cutting in all conditions. Accurate measuring is ensured by a hydraulic length measuring device and front knife diameter measuring. AFM 45 is optionally fitted with multi tree equipment for integrated logging.

AFM 55 is a solution for clear felling and later thinning operations, made with middle sized forest machines. AFM 55 has big capacity and perfect holding geometry for the big stems. High flow hydraulic valve together with proportional pressure adjustment exploits perfectly the base machine power. Three roller feeding together with four delimbing knives ensures high quality production. The AFM 55 can be equipped with multi tree handling device which allows easy collecting of small or energy wood. Feeding geometry ensures processing of several stems at the same time. AFM 55 fits efficiently on 12-18 tons forest machines and on excavators up to 18 tons.

AFM 60 has an excellent reputation as a strong, reliable, and versatile harvester head. With its compact design, the AFM 60 is suited perfectly to both hardwood and softwood operations. A short frame with one pair of heavy-duty delimbing knives makes processing even the lowest-quality trees with heavy limbs easy. The AFM 60 is used in all kinds of harvesting methods and operations: cut-to-length, tree-length, and processing. The long delimbing arms of the AFM 60 make working from the pile and picking up windfall trees an easy task, allowing you to use your machine as a harvester or a processor. The AFM 60 is perfectly suited to 20-ton excavators or 14- to 17-ton forest machines.

AFM 60 EUCA is the most efficient harvester head for heavy duty eucalyptus-debarking operations. This harvester head is an excellent combination of all the outstanding features of AFM heads, creating extremely efficient solutions for eucalyptus operations. Special rollers for debarking on the AFM 60 EUCA have cutting edges running at an oblique angle, causing a spiral feed of the stem and providing the best quality and speed of debarking. With its reliable hydraulics and drop-free sealing, the AFM 60 EUCA is suitable for use in tropical forests. Strong measuring mechanisms’ protections and many other important details in this head are purpose-made for demanding debarking operations. The AFM 60 EUCA is most suitable for 20- to 25-ton excavators.

AFM 65 is a strong, reliable and highly productive harvester head for medium sized wood which can work on both wheeled and tracked machines. AFM 65 means an optimal combination between capacity, weight, feeding power and force and is an efficient tool for clearcuttings, big thinnings and processing operations. Four movable knives on AFM 65 allow smooth and accurate delimbing even of big trees with heavy branches. The stem is constantly centered in the head with four feeding rollers ensuring precise length and diameter measuring. Proportional adjustments of pressures on rollers and knives according to the stem diameter increase considerably the effectiveness of feeding and delimbing. The shape of knives on AFM 65 allows easy working from pile or in wind stormed areas. AFM 65 can work with a variety of different measuring systems and can be easily adapted to any type of base machine. The AFM 65 is perfectly suited for 20-25 tons excavators, wheeled and tracked harvesters.

AFM 75 is a strong, reliable and highly productive harvester head for big wood which can work on both wheeled and tracked machines. It has been developed with close attention to customers’ needs and incorporates the best features of AFM heads. AFM 75 means an optimal combination between capacity, weight, feeding power and force and is an efficient tool for clearcuttings, big thinnings and processing operations. Four movable knives on AFM 75 allow smooth and accurate delimbing even of big trees with heavy branches. The stem is constantly centered in the head with three feeding rollers ensuring precise length and diameter measuring. Proportional adjustments of pressures on rollers and knives according to the stem diameter increase considerably the effectiveness of feeding and delimbing. .

AFM 50 Combi is a light combi head for harvesting, processing, sorting and loading smaller trees. Due to its low weight AFM 50 Combi can work on small and medium sized forest machines and excavators. Having a short frame AFM 50 Combi it is suitable for both softwood and hardwood operations. AFM 50 Combi is an efficient solution for decreasing the required space at landings, road-sides or when working in combination with a cable yarder. AFM 50 Combi can be installed on 9-16 tons forest machines, excavators and saw mill loaders.

AFM 75 FH is a compact and cost-effective attachment for various forest operations. AFM 75 FH can be used in tree felling, cross cutting and even for loading. The AFM 75 FH Felling head is commonly used also in forest clearing after storm or for road, pipe line and power lines construction. The excavator equipped with AFM 75 FH can be an efficient and economical alternative to the purpose made feller buncher machines. The AFM 75 FH is equipped with with 3/4” saw unit or with .404” saw unit with automatic chain tensioning. AFM 75 FH works efficiently on 20-30 tons tracked forest machines and excavators.
