Awful clean. Must be a new installation there.
The pulp mill here has a tower crane in the yard to feed it. If I remember right it can take a 30" diameter 40 footer, when maxed out, and chip it in 60 seconds. That's balls out, not the norm. We got to see it when the were doing some testing. Impressive doesn't do it justice.
What's the market there? Seems to small for paper.

That was the first test. It will take a hemlock 27 inch log 40 feet no problem and takes maybe 20 seconds to chip. There are two 600 hp motors on the chiper. Market is not great some chip for paper, some for fuel and pellets.
