Its massive, wide chassis (1775 mm) is engineered to withstand the torsional forces of large excavators and tracked machines. Unlike lighter heads, its geometry allows for the safe handling of trees with a felling diameter of up to 860 mm, ensuring a long service life even during intensive 24-hour shifts.<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Feeding and Performance: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">4-Roller Power The great innovation of the AFM 75 TS is its feeding unit: 4 hydraulic motors driving 4 rollers. This &#8220;quad&#8221; configuration ensures the stem remains perfectly centered and gripped, maximizing the transmission of its 35 kN force. With a speed of 5.5 m\/s, it can move heavy and crooked logs without losing grip\u2014vital when working with hard hardwoods or heavy-limbed trees.<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Debarking and Processing Specialist: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">This head is a beast for eucalyptus debarking. The combination of 4 aggressive rollers and a versatile knife set (2 to 5 units) allows for stripping even the toughest bark from large stems (optimal 40-60 cm). Its wide rear opening of 880 mm facilitates whole-tree handling during processing operations.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Fleet Compatibility. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Designed exclusively for the most powerful machinery in the forestry fleet:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Excavators: 25 \u2013 35 Tons (Requires a robust chassis due to its nearly 3-ton weight).<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Tracked Harvesters: Ideal for dedicated tracked forest machines.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Hydraulic Requirements: Demands high flow of 300 l\/min and minimum engine power of 130 kW (180 hp) to feed its 4-motor system.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>Do you have a specific model or need to adapt this machine to your needs?<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> Contact us for personalized advice.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">&#8212;-<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;font-size: 10pt\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><b>1. What does the 4-roller configuration mean for the AFM 75 TS?<\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><b> <\/b>Unlike 3-roller models, the 4-motor, 4-roller system provides superior, symmetrical grip. This reduces slippage on heavy or wet logs and distributes pressure more evenly across the stem, improving both debarking and feeding performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">2. Can I mount it on a 20-ton excavator? <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">No, it is not recommended. Weighing 2900 kg, this head would destabilize a 20-ton machine. It is specifically designed for the 25 to 35-ton range to ensure safety and proper hydraulic performance.<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">3. Is it suitable for Eucalyptus? <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Yes, the manufacturer clearly specifies &#8220;Eucalyptus-debarking&#8221; as a key operation. Its 35 kN force and 4-roller system make it extremely effective for cleaning large-diameter eucalyptus that requires significant traction power.<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">4. What type of cutting does it perform?<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> It is a final felling (Clearcutting) head. While it can process timber, its size and weight make it unsuitable for delicate thinning; it is a tool for mass production and clearfelling.<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">5. What is its opening capacity?<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> It has a massive opening capability. The rear knives open up to 880 mm and the rollers up to 850 mm. This allows it to easily grasp large trees from the base.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\">The 4-roller giant for extreme felling and Eucalyptus<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">The AFM 75 TS is a &#8220;heavy class&#8221; harvesting head designed to dominate the most demanding final felling and debarking operations. With an operating weight of 2900 kg, this model stands out for its exclusive 4-motor, 4-roller system, offering unmatched traction and stability.
