The Vortex Effect

Master the forces of nature.
Patented VORTEX<sup>®</sup> Chamber

Patented VORTEX® Chamber

The VORTEX® chamber is an enclosed, semi-cone shaped area that acts as the bellypan where chips are guided and accelerated into the discharge paddles by gravity and airflow. The chamber is open and is progressively tapered wider toward the discharge, allowing chips to flow in an unrestricted manner.

The "No Pocket" Drum

The "No Pocket" Drum

Because the VORTEX® drum has one sole purpose -- to cut, it is configured with ideal size and RPMs to maximize torque delivered from the engine, rather than the need to carry chips in a "pocket" to the discharge port. Its skinless/pocketless construction also provides a more durable weldment and an ease of access for service.

Extremely Wide Openings

Extremely Wide Openings

When you say 12-inch capacity, what do you mean? The design of the VORTEX® allows the drum to be considerably wider, creating not only a larger target region for feeding but also a wider angle of entry for incoming material from skid steer or mechanical loaders.

Throw The Distance

Throw The Distance

With an impeller that boasts nearly twice the rim speed of the VORTEX® drum, chips can be thrown with tremendous velocity similar to a disc style chipper. Chips flow unencumbered through the chamber to the discharge paddles, where they are thrust without interference or redirection caused by angled transitions.

Use Of Torque

Use Of Torque

The VORTEX® chipping system separates and isolates the functions of chipping and throwing to each take full advantage of the maximum available horsepower and torque delivered from the engine. Less horsepower and fuel are required to generate a greater cutting force at the knife tip, and the upsized impeller creates increased leverage and rim speed for throwing.

Reverse Pivot Feed System

Reverse Pivot Feed System

A reverse pivot feed system creates its own mechanical leverage by gravity and the rotation of the feed wheel to naturally push, not pull, material into the machine. It provides the best advantage in climbing onto wood to create down pressure to collapse limbs since its feed wheel works in unity with both gravity and the natural flow of material.
