Chippers
Stationary Chipper – Skorpion 500EB
The Skorpion 500 EB is a stationary drum chipper designed for processing slabs, roundwood, and various sawmill and furniture waste up to 500 mm in width.
Characteristics of the Skorpion 500 EB
It is powered by a slow-speed electric motor with 45 or 55 kW of power. Compared to high-speed motors, slow-speed motors offer smoother operation and significantly higher torque. They also improve V-belt service life thanks to the larger pulley diameter.
The cutting system consists of a drum with 2, 3, or 4 knives and a counter-knife. A screen ensures highly uniform chip size. The knife configuration and screen type determine the final chip geometry.
Control is handled by an electrical cabinet with start-up, operation monitoring, overload protection, and shutdown functions. The automatic system temporarily stops the feeding mechanism in case of overload.
The Skorpion 500 EB can be integrated with belt or vibrating conveyors, making it easy to implement in any industrial wood-processing line.
