VORTEX Technology

Why It Chips Different

Better Use Of Torque

Use Of Torque

The VORTEX system separates chipping and throwing so each function uses horsepower and torque more efficiently.

A right-sized drum can focus on cutting force while the disc-shaped impeller uses leverage, inertia, and rim speed for throwing. This helps improve recovery time, fuel use, and overall performance.
Vortex No-Pocket Drum

Skinless No-Pocket Drum

The open-face drum does not need pockets to carry chips, improving flow, durability, and service access.

Chips immediately fall into the cone-shaped bellypan where they are moved toward the discharge fan. The open design allows better weld coverage and easier knife-holder access.
Reverse Pivot Feed System

Reverse Pivot Feed System

The large single feed wheel climbs onto material and uses gravity and leverage to feed bulky brush.

The feed system helps compress limby material over a larger area, reducing trimming, repositioning, and cleanup time.
Patented Vortex Chamber

Patented VORTEX Chamber

The semi-cone chamber guides chips naturally toward the discharge impeller instead of wrapping them around the drum.

The progressively tapered chamber uses gravity and airflow to create an unrestricted pathway for chips, helping reduce plugging and blowback.
Vortex Throwing Power

Throwing Power

A drum cuts. A disc throws. The VORTEX system lets each component perform its own job better.

By separating chip cutting from chip throwing, the discharge impeller can accelerate chips with high velocity while the drum maintains cutting torque.
Vortex Wide Opening

Extremely Wide Opening

The 32-inch wide opening gives operators a larger target area and helps reduce trimming and repositioning.

A wider rectangular opening accepts more volume, helps process bulky brush, and improves feeding efficiency for hand-fed or machine-fed operation.
