DuraTech Industries Enters Tree Chipper Market With New Machine

TC-12 Tree Chipper Debut

DuraTech Industries is excited to announce the introduction of the TC-12, 12 inch tree chipper. DuraTech has taken the grinding technology of its massive tub and horizontal grinders and harnessed it for use in the TC-12. With a 122 hp (91 kw) CAT C4.4 diesel engine and PT Tech clutch, the powerful TC-12 can chip limbs and logs up to 12 inches in diameter.

"With the introduction of new technology to the market we feel it sets the TC-12 apart in the tree chipper market," said Al Goehring of DuraTech Industries.

The TC-12 features a spring-loaded feed wheel with adjustable down pressure, an optional height sensor that automatically adjusts the feed roller to material size and an optional hydraulic gathering winch. The hydraulic two-drum system feeds the heavy duty chipper disc.

This high-powered chipper discharges debris through the chute that rotates 360 degrees. The manual chip deflector allows for complete control of the discharged material.

The TC-12 has multiple safety features like the innovative hopper safety light bars with easy and instant shut down of the feed wheels. There are also two E-stop switches, a disc hood closed proximity switch and a breakaway brake switch to ensure the safety of the operator.

"Safety is a major concern when operating chippers," said Al Goehring of DuraTech Industries. "The precautions installed on the TC-12 allow the users to operate safely and benefit from full use of all the features."

The new tree chipper is available with a pintle or ball hitch and can easily be towed to a job site. This heavy duty chipper is compact measuring 79 inches wide and 208 inches long.
