4×4 equals increased traction, torque, and delimbing force.
The original propose-built multi-stem processor, the QS500 is designed forsmall to medium sized stems ideal for harvesting or road-side processing.
Features may include:
Wide frame structureWide frame design for structuralstrength resulting in a reductionin frame cracking. This also allowsfor improved hose routing withminimal exposed hoses.
Front knifeExtremely tough floating frontknife and sliding mount.
Touch-less encodersMagnetic touch-less encoders forbetter accuracy and extendedlife duration.
BushingsD-Glide bushing material forextended life and durability ofmain pins.
Spring linkInnovative spring timing link toallow for variation in multi stemdiameters without loss ofdrive traction.
Delimb armsFabricated delimb arms withreplaceable high wear resistantalloy cutting edges.
Delimb tipsExtended delimb tipsand pop angle for ease ofpicking from the stack.
Drive teethBidirectional drive teethdesign for optimum grip inboth forward and reverse.
CylindersHigh pressure heavy wallcylinders with halite packing kits.
Lock pinsLarge diameter with expanderlock pins for decreased wear andincreased life.
Measuring wheelExtra wide measuring wheel allowsoperator to accurately measure bothsingle and multi-stems
Side stepping driveInnovative side stepping drivefeature allowing for independentcontrol of two stems. Thisallowing the operator to alignbutts of multiple stems, trimdefects in one stem but not theother, and or process one stemand not the other.
Find end sensorsDual find end sensors to eliminatewastage when multi-stemming.
Feed rollersFour wide feed rollers forincreased surface area when inmulti-stemming application.
