New BL1/EX-75 forestry mulcher with no motor draining required

The FAE BL1/EX range expands with a new model that eliminates the need for motor draining.

The new model for 4.5 to 7.5 ton excavators, features a newly-conceived gear motor, with easier and more cost-effective installation.

The BL1/EX-75 can mulch light vegetation, shrubs, and trees up to 12 cm in diameter. It can be used to control vegetation along roadsides, railroad tracks, and the banks of canals, rivers and lakes, to manage and protect wildlife habitats, and to maintain commercial parks and sports grounds.

The new BL1/EX-75 model replaces the old, piston-motor model, and is complemented by the VT model, with the same operating width.

The Bite Limiter technology on this head is ideal for high-productivity vegetation management, with reliably efficient shredding. The Bite Limiter rotor uses special wear-resistant steel profiles to limit the reach (bite) of the teeth. This cuts down on power demand and promotes a consistent working speed, for excellent performance when mulching any kind of wood. The Bite Limiter technology also minimizes rotor stalling and optimizes fuel consumption.

The new BL1/EX-75 can be equipped with BL/MINI blades or C/3/MINI teeth and is available in an operating width.
