Zanon BC 50-T
20-50 HP Cardan Shaft Wood Chipper with 6 cm Cutting Width

Zanon BC 50-T - PTO Driven Wood Chipper for 20-50 HP Tractors with 6 cm Cutting Diameter

The Zanon BC 50-T is a PTO-driven wood chipper intended for professional use, designed for agricultural workers and greenery maintenance workers who require a reliable, stable machine capable of handling demanding plant materials. Compatible with 20-50 HP tractors , this wood chipper stands out for its compact and highly maneuverable structure, ideal for operating in agricultural, forestry, and landscape maintenance environments. The ability to shred branches , brushwood , and pruning residues up to 6 cm in diameter guarantees high operational versatility, while the oversized hopper optimizes loading and speeds up the material feeding process.

The BC 50-T features a professional cutting system with superior-quality steel blades , ensuring a 5-6x reduction in material volume. The ground-level discharge chute allows for controlled expulsion of the wood chips, making it easier to manage the processed material. Thanks to its combination of mechanical strength, cutting precision, and CE-compliant equipment, this model represents a high-performance and safe solution for those seeking a reliable and long-lasting chipper.

T-40 RL Cardan NOT INCLUDED.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

In terms of power supply, the Zanon BC 50-T wood chipper is connected via a category I-II three-point hitch and works in combination with tractors with power ranging from 20 to 50 HP , ensuring stable and constant power transmission thanks to the T-40 + RL system . The belt transmission ensures smooth operation and reduces mechanical stress, contributing to the longevity of the machine. With an operating speed of 2850 RPM , the wood chipper maintains a regular shredding rate suitable for continuous use in agricultural and forestry contexts.

Its performance is distinguished by a maximum cutting capacity of 6 cm , obtained through 2 blades , 8 hammers and 2 counterblades that guarantee homogeneous shredding of the material. The adjustable refining sieve allows for the production of wood chips with a controlled grain size , while the puncture-proof wheels facilitate transport even on uneven terrain. With a weight of 130 kg and a production capacity of 4 m³/h , the BC 50-T ensures a continuous and high-performance workflow, while maintaining noise levels compliant with Directive 2000/14/EC for the limitation of environmental noise.

FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS

Professional cutting system

The Zanon BC 50-T cutting system uses ultra-high-strength steel blades that ensure precision, efficiency, and durability over time. The combination of blades , knives , and counterblades allows for progressive and uniform shredding, resulting in regular and well-calibrated wood chips, ideal for both disposal and agricultural use.

Larger, high-capacity hopper

The enlarged hopper is designed to facilitate the feeding of bulky branches and irregular plant material. Its shape optimizes material insertion and reduces the need for pre-cutting, improving productivity and operator comfort during extended work sessions.

Ground exhaust pipe

The ground discharge duct allows for direct and controlled distribution of the wood chips, ideal for conveying the material to specific areas or for easier collection. This configuration promotes a constant flow without the risk of clogging, ensuring operational continuity even with materials of varying consistencies.

Adjustable refining sieve

The adjustable refining sieve allows you to adjust the chip fineness based on your operational needs. This feature allows for precise control of the final result, making the machine suitable for producing both coarse chips and finer, more uniform material.

Easy to handle and transport

The compact and maneuverable structure of the BC 50-T , combined with its puncture-proof wheels , ensures ease of movement even on difficult agricultural terrain. This feature facilitates its use in dynamic operating environments, where mobility is a key element of efficiency.

Safety compliant with CE regulations

The shredder is equipped with CE safety guards , designed to ensure maximum safety during use. These devices protect the operator from accidental contact with moving parts, ensuring use complies with European regulations on safety and environmental noise reduction.
