Abstract
A reversing automatic feed wheel assembly for wood chipper includes an infeed assembly and a rotatable cutting assembly spaced from the infeed assembly. The reversing automatic feed wheel assembly also includes at least one feed wheel disposed between the infeed assembly and the cutting assembly to feed wood material to the cutting assembly. The reversing automatic feed wheel assembly further includes a control system operatively connected to the at least one feed wheel to automatically reverse/stop/restart the infeed of the wood material in response to a reduced speed or excessive load placed on the cutting assembly.
Claims18
A reversing automatic feed wheel assembly for a wood chipper comprising:
- an infeed assembly;
- a rotatable cutting assembly spaced from said infeed assembly;
- at least one feed wheel disposed between said infeed assembly and said cutting assembly to feed wood material to said cutting assembly;
- and
- a control system operatively connected to said at least one feed wheel including an electronic controller and an auto feed block, said electronic controller being connected to said auto feed block to actuate said auto feed block to automatically stop and reverse said at least one feed wheel in response to an input signal of a reduced speed or excessive load placed on said cutting assembly by the infeed of the wood material and to automatically restart said at least one feed wheel when the reduced speed or excessive load is terminated.
A reversing automatic feed wheel assembly for a wood chipper comprising:
- an infeed assembly;
- a rotatable cutting assembly spaced from said infeed assembly;
- a first feed wheel and a movable second feed wheel movable relative to said first feed wheel first to feed wood material to said cutting assembly;
- and
- a control system operatively connected to said first feed wheel and said second feed wheel including an electronic controller and an auto feed block, said electronic controller being connected to said auto feed block to actuate said auto feed block to automatically stop and reverse said first feed wheel and said second feed wheel in response to an input signal of a reduced speed or excessive load placed on said cutting assembly by the infeed of the wood material and to automatically restart said first feed wheel and said second feed wheel when the reduced speed or excessive load is terminated.
