FAE has expanded its line of forestry mulchers with Bite Limiter technology with a model designed for mid-range excavators: the BL2/S/EX for 11- to 16-ton excavators.
The BL2/S/EX can mulch vegetation, shrubs and trees up to 6 in. in diameter. It is designed for forestry management, roadside and railway maintenance, maintaining the banks of canals, rivers and lakes and managing and protecting wildlife areas.
The Bite Limiter technology on this head is for vegetation management. The rotor with Bite Limiter technology comes with wear-resistant steel profiles that limit the reach (bite) of the teeth. This cuts down on power demand and promotes a consistent working speed, for performance when mulching wood. Bite Limiter technology also minimizes rotor stalling.
Equipped with a sturdy steel frame, the toothed belt transmission provides power transfer and reliability. Interchangeable bolt-on Spike Pro counter blades and skids and a hydraulically adjustable hood are also design features.
The BL2/S/EX is available with FAE's Sonic system, which keeps the operating carrier and the FAE mulcher completely aligned by automatically calibrating and regulating the mulcher's hydraulic parameters. The FAE app is also available for technical support and makes it possible to calibrate the Sonic system for connection to the operating carrier.
The new BL2/S/EX can be equipped with BL blades or C/3 teeth and is available with a working width of 125.
