Power Requirements
Due to the inertia of the heavy and large rotor, power units down to 35 HP can be used. About 7 HP is required for every inch of round wood diameter. Thus, to chip a 5-inch round wood, you need a 35 HP power unit (7 X 5 = 35).
Safety Features
The Valby chippers do not have any knife motion toward the operator-this reduces the risk of loose material flying back through the feed chute.
The knives are counter-sunk into the disk, so the stress of chipping is absorbed by the entire backside of the knife, not just the knife bolts.
The discharge height is 7'11" above ground so the discharge is above eye level. To accomplish safe operation in various wind directions, the Valby chipper's discharge direction is adjustable 360 degrees.
The deflector bonnet enables placing the chips near or far. The Valby chippers also have several noise-reducing features. The discharge opening is above ear level. It is adjustable and can be directed away from the operator.

Available Feed Chutes
The chipper can be used with two types of infeed chutes: the F260 slab chute and the DF230 and DF 232 drop spouts.
The F260 has a control bar that runs on top of the feed chute. The feed can be interrupted by the control bar. The wide feed chute is used for slabs, poles and other materials that need not be compressed.
The DF230 and DF232 drop spouts are gravity fed, and can be used together with conveyors.
