Biomass baler for woody biomass collection
Optimize woody biomass management with a mobile solution that reduces noise, dust, and transportation costs by transforming biomass into high-density bales, suitable for both urban and forestry applications.
Bales Woody Biomass for Efficient Transport
The Bighorn® Biomass Baler from Forest Concepts offers an innovative approach to woody biomass collection and transportation. This mobile baling machine minimizes site disruption by packaging biomass into compact, easily transportable bales, ideal for biofuel feedstock and urban wood waste applications. Whether you’re managing forest residuals or urban vegetation debris, this baler streamlines the logistics, enabling integration with conventional transport systems and reducing costs associated with chipping. Designed with tow-behind functionality, it suits both urban and industrial operations, providing scalability across varied landscapes. Its manual and continuous operation ensures that it fits seamlessly into pre-processing and transport workflows. The Bighorn® Biomass Baler supports sustainable waste management and bioenergy production, facilitating the transformation of biomass into economically viable products while meeting environmental objectives.
