The Peterson 5000H Delimber Debarker Disc Chipper produces high quality low bark content chips for wood pulp and pellets, processing whole trees in one continuous operation. Equipped with a large feed throat, this whole tree chipper can accept up to a 23 inch (56 cm) diameter single tree or multiple smaller stems. The 5000H can be configured with a three or four pocket disc, with several optional sheave sizes to make precisely the chip you need. The standard three-pocket disc produces chips from 5⁄8 to 1 1/4 inches (16–32 mm) long, while the optional four-pocket disc produces chips from ½ to 1 inches (13–25 mm) long. Chipping production rates up to 100 tons (90 tonnes) per hour can be achieved depending on chip size and wood characteristics.

The Peterson 5900E disc chipper produces high quality paper chips when used with a Peterson 4800F debarker, or fuel chips as a stand alone fuel wood chipper. The 5900E is powered by a Caterpillar C18, Tier III, 765hp (570kW) engine, which is both fuel efficient and maintenance friendly. The 5900E can be configured with a three or four pocket disc, with several optional sheave sizes to make precisely the chip you need. Chipping production rates from 60 to 100 US tons (54 431to 90 718 kg) can be achieved depending on chip size. The productive 5900E’s large feed throat can accept up to 23 inch (58 cm) diameter trees or multiple smaller stems.

Continuing Peterson’s long history of innovation, this 6th generation design has the features that clean chip operations demand. The Peterson 4800F multiple log delimber/debarker is designed to be used in tandem with whole tree chippers to produce high quality pulp chips. Capable of processing multiple logs from 2 to 23 inches (5–58 cm) in diameter, the 4800F increases productivity while reducing bark content, product handling time, and fiber loss.

Peterson’s 4810F tracked chain flail is engineered for optimal efficiency and productivity. With a compact footprint, it is easily maneuverable for repositioning to new job sites. No wonder it’s the machine of choice for in-field chipping. Increase your productivity and decrease product handling times. The 4810F is designed to debark multiple logs and works in tandem with a whole tree chipper to produce high quality pulp chips. The 52 ½ inch (58 cm) wide feed throat is capable of processing multiple logs from 2 to 23 inches (5–58 cm) in diameter.
