The Morbark 50/48 Whole Tree Drum Chipper is one of the largest and most productive drum chippers available on the market, delivering exceptional performance for high-volume forestry and biomass processing operations.
Built for maximum throughput and durability, the 50/48X incorporates a modernised layout similar to Morbark’s industry-leading industrial drum chippers.
Key upgrades include a sloped infeed system, an externally adjustable anvil, and large maintenance platforms that provide easier and safer access for routine servicing and inspections. The innovative reverse pivot yoke design delivers greater down pressure compared to conventional yoke systems, ensuring aggressive and consistent feeding across a wide variety of material types.
The advanced Morbark Advantage 3 Drum produces more consistent wood chips, while the heat-treated AR-450 steel drum skin provides extended wear life, reduced replacement costs, and minimised downtime. The Advantage 3 drum assembly is available in either a 10-knife configuration for fuel chip production or a 20-knife configuration for micro-chip applications, offering excellent flexibility for different end-product requirements.
