OPERATION

VACUUMING OPERATION

Vacuuming operation begins in the processing chamber where the blades attached to the flywheel spin at up to 3600 RPM, creating a powerful suction Material enters

the processing chamber from beneath the machine during walk-behind vacuuming and during use of the blower deflector_ Material enters from the hose during use of the vacuum hose, The material is then processed through the chamber (and screen if installed) and exits from the discharge opening into the collection bag or is propelled out through the bbwer deflector..

CHIPPING OPERATION

Chipping operation also takes place in the processing chamber° Branches fed down through the chipper chute enter the processing chamber where a hardened steel chipper blade, mounted on the spinning flywheel, slices the material into small chips. The chips are then propelled out from the processing chamber through the discharge opening into the collection bag.
