Equipment logging jobsite efficiency

Powerful equipment goes a long way in completing jobs on time and within budget, but combining wood processing power with smart technology can actually cut job times by boosting onsite productivity.

Among the machinery that has increased in sophistication, Vermeer tree care equipment has evolved to include exclusive features that promote ease of operation, efficiency and operator safety.

Not only does using innovative machinery that embraces modern technology boost contractor efficiency and productivity, it demonstrates to customers and prospects that they’re ahead of the curve and staying abreast of the latest industry offerings. When it comes to projects involving timber processing and wood chipping, powerful machinery talks, but contractors looking to put their best foot forward for these jobs should deploy equipment that offers state-of-the-art features.

It’s no longer enough for contractors to have chipper equipment that’s tough and durable – the machinery needs to be smarter and more advanced.

COMBINING POWER WITH SMART FEATURES

Proving that mighty machinery doesn’t have to come at a cost to innovation, Vermeer’s BC2100XL Chipper delivers extreme power for boosted jobsite productivity, coupled with the innovative features that will streamline operations and deliver projects on time. Specifically engineered for high volume waste timber processing and offering the latest in chipper technology, the BC2100XL can process timber with a diameter of up to 53.3cm.

The BC2100XL Chipper boasts an impressive 205kW engine, ensuring contractors need look no further for equipment to deliver their horsepower requirements. With three engine options, contractors can choose an appropriate power level based on the specific needs of the job.

TECH THAT TORQUES

Helping cement the BC2100XL’s power superiority, the two horizontal feed rollers offer 4,536kg of combined pulling force. With the BC2100XL’s exclusive SmartCrush feature, the days of equipment standing idle while operators trim tree branches are long gone. The aptly named system offers increased down pressure on material being fed, tackling branched materials without breaking a sweat.

The intelligent SmartCrush system automatically increases pressure once the upper feed roller freely raises for four seconds, meaning the upper feed roller can easily climb on top of large, forked material before the increased down pressure is applied for maximum pulling force.

Further backing the BC2100XL’s technological credentials and increasing operator productivity, the patented SmartFeed control system monitors rpm and senses jams, automatically stopping or reversing the rollers as needed or when feeding in larger hardwood material.

Underscoring Vermeer’s commitment to boosting operator productivity, the BC2100XL Chipper offers an optional remote control which allows contractors to operate one machine to load while still maintaining control of the chipper. The optional winch attachment can handle material up to 1,815kg and mitigates the need for operators to drag material to the chipper.

The BC2100XL is backed by Vermeer’s one-year/1,000-hour limited warranty and three- year/3,000-hour extended limited warranty on drum housings, cutter drums, shaft, and ringfeeder hubs, and supported by Vermeer’s local and international team of experts.
