Morbark LLC, Winn, Michigan, has added a smaller flail option to its product line, the 223 stand-alone flail. The model is designed for in-woods chipping applications.
“Through extensive market research that included design input from customers, we saw the need for a smaller, more affordable option that gives contractors the versatility of being able to produce clean chips or transition back to producing a fuel chip with relative ease, which is key in an ever-changing chip market” says Michael Stanton, Morbark industrial products business unit director. “The Morbark 223 flail gives contractors the power of our larger equipment with the portability of a smaller unit to serve diverse markets.”
The 223 flail is designed to work in conjunction with chippers like the Morbark 23 Chiparvestor, the 40/36 whole tree drum chipper or similar machines. With a large 56-inch by 23-inch infeed opening, the 223 flail accepts logs up to 23 inches in diameter at a feed rate from 70 to 150 feet per minute. The Morbark integrated control system designed for fine adjustment of feed rate and flail drum speed so that bark removal is maximized and removal of “good” fiber is minimized for superior end products.
The 223 is designed to reduce hassle while feeding and allows for additional stems to be fed during operation. Four independent stabilizers level the machine on nearly any type of jobsite.
Other key features of the 223 flail include the dual horizontal segmented flail drums—each equipped with eight flail chain rods—and a large work/inspection area designed for easy access to engine and hydraulic components, for easier maintenance and reduced costs.
