5000H Chipper
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. The large feed
throat can accept up to a 23 inch (56 cm)
diameter tree or multiple smaller stems.
The standard three-pocket disc can
produce chips from 5⁄8 to 1¼ inches
(16–32 mm) long, while the optional four-pocket disc
can produce 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.
Peterson’s heavy-duty 66 inch diameter
(168 cm), 4¾ inch thick (12 cm) chipper
disc has a replaceable ½ inch (13 mm) wear
plate. Traditional babbitt-type knives or
Key Knife components are available.
The Tier II C27 and C32 Caterpillar
engines are more fuel-efficient than
previous engines of equivalent power. The
adaptive cooling system adjusts the fan
speed to match cooling requirements. Fuel cost savings
can be significant over the life of the machine.
The high visibility, weatherized cab is convenient to
reach, and designed to meet the latest
OSHA standards. Peterson’s Adaptive
Control System has intuitive interfaces, a
large LCD display to provide the operator
with information to more efficiently make
chips. On-screen maintenance instructions
and self-diagnostic features increase uptime. Ergonomically designed electronic
joystick controls enable precise operator
control over the two-section knuckle-boom log loader,
while controls for the variable speed flails and discharge
spout positioning are readily at hand. Top or end-loading
chip spouts are available, including a high rotation long
spout.
Peterson specializes in developing
delivery and processing equipment that
turns low-grade organic materials into high
value products.
