Log Chipping Canter
The chipping canter is the versatile work horse of primary log processing. It can process logs to two faces eliminating side slabs while being fed with a standard auto-centering sharp chain infeed, a vertical roll log infeed such as the HE, and the high performance CCO infeed. It can be combined with close coupled circular saws (single or double arbor, guided or non-guided), twin band saws and a bottom chipping head module. It is capable of very high production rates while producing quality two side faces on a log.
