Biomass baler for woody biomass collection
In vegetation management, handling woody biomass often involves traditional chipping and grinding despite challenges like high noise, dust, and transportation inefficiencies. This can make biomass unusable for various potential applications.
Reduce collection costs and improve safety
Forest Concepts’ Bighorn® Biomass Baler provides an alternative to conventional chipping and grinding methods. This mobile baler compresses woody biomass into large rectangular bales, minimizing labor, noise, and dust at worksites. This approach makes woody biomass handling similar to urban recyclables. The Bighorn® baler family includes models suited for both small- and large-scale operations, enabling efficient transportation using flatbed trucks, trailers, or rail. Models vary in capacity from one to four bales per hour and range from street-legal urban units to utility balers for off-road use. By baling the biomass, the technology enhances safety and reduces costs. This solution is ideal for powerline and roadside vegetation management and contributes to biofuel and bioproducts processing.
