Forestry Mulcher Head for Excavators – FAE BL2/EX-125 VT

Engineering and Design: Resilience and Advanced Protection.
The BL2/EX-VT is engineered to meet the demands of professional forestry work, featuring an “anti-dust” internal body that shields vital components. Its structure includes a dedicated bulkhead for hydraulic connections and a high-efficiency belt drive transmission, ensuring a long service life and consistent profitability in the field. Additionally, the hydraulic mulching hood allows for precise material flow management and reduces debris projection, enhancing safety in the working environment.

Performance and Power: VT (Variable Torque) Technology.
At the core of this head is a variable torque (VT) piston hydraulic motor, optimized for flow rates between 100-140 L/min. This system significantly boosts performance by automatically increasing motor torque during high-load peaks, minimizing rotor stalling and ensuring smooth progress even in dense vegetation.

Mulching Quality: The Secret of the Bite Limiter.
The rotor is equipped with Bite Limiter technology, where specialized steel profiles limit the cutting depth of the teeth. In this configuration with 22 MINI C/3 hammers, the system reduces the power demand required from the carrier. This allows mid-sized excavators to maintain steady working speeds while producing a fine, homogenous mulch.

Fleet Compatibility:

• Recommended Base Machines: Excavators from 8 to 14 tons.
• Hydraulic Requirements: Flow rate of 100-140 L/min and operating pressure of 180-350 bar.
• Coupling Options: Custom pin-on attachment brackets and support mounts available for seamless integration.

Frequented Asked Questions  

1. What advantages does the VT motor offer over a standard motor? The Variable Torque motor adjusts power based on the resistance encountered. If the rotor slows down under load, the motor automatically increases torque to keep mulching without requiring the excavator to stop or stall.

2. What is the purpose of Bite Limiter technology? It prevents the teeth from “biting” more wood than the motor can efficiently process. This allows an 8-10 ton excavator to perform like a much larger machine, saving fuel and preventing rotor stalls.

3. Is operator training included with the purchase? Upon delivery, we offer a 1 to 2-day on-site training session for the operator, focusing on the efficient use of the VT system and daily preventive maintenance.

4. What basic maintenance does the head require? Thanks to the motor being integrated into the frame and the inclusion of relief and anti-cavitation valves, maintenance is simplified to periodic lubrication and checking belt tension.

5. What is the manufacturer’s warranty? The FAE BL2/EX-125 VT comes with a warranty of 1,500 hours or one year for parts and labor, providing total peace of mind for the forestry professional.
