Motor Power | 15 kW or 18.5 kW | Both options require a three-phase supply; confirm available amperage and whether your incoming supply can support the star/delta start sequence before ordering. |
Drive System | Electric motor with reduction gear and belt transmission | |
Motor Start Method | Star/delta (star/triangle) system | Star/delta starting reduces inrush current at start-up, which can be important if your site has supply capacity or tariff constraints around peak draw. |
Control System | BOVER_BASIC intelligent control system | Handles automated cycle control and overload protection — if the rotor stalls under load, the system reverses and re-attempts, reducing the need for manual intervention during a jam. |
Rotor Length | ~550 mm | |
Rotor Diameter | ~222 mm | |
Number of Cutting Knives | 14 knives | |
Knife Design | Hardened, four cutting edges per knife | Four-edge knives can be indexed three times before replacement, which reduces consumable cost and downtime compared to single-edge designs. |
Cleaning Knives | Hardened cleaning knives included | |
Counter-Knives / Cutting Racks | Hardened cutting racks included | |
Sieve Material | HARDOX wear-resistant steel | HARDOX is a recognised wear-plate specification — relevant if you are processing abrasive or contaminated wood waste where standard sieves would wear prematurely. |
Screen / Hole Size | 10 mm – ~30 mm (configuration dependent) | Screen size must be specified at order — discuss your end-use requirement (e.g. biomass chip spec, bedding material, or landfill diversion) with IWM before confirming. |
Throughput | Up to ~4 m³/h | Actual throughput will vary with material density, moisture content, and screen size selected — treat this as a ceiling figure for planning purposes. |
Feed / Hopper Opening | 939 mm × 567 mm | Hopper opening determines the maximum cross-section of material you can feed in a single pass — oversized pieces will need pre-breaking before loading. |
Hydraulic Feed Unit | Hydraulic pressure / pusher unit included | The hydraulic pusher forces material into the rotor zone, reducing the need for manual feeding and allowing the machine to handle bulky or springy waste more consistently. |
Machine Dimensions (H × W × L) | ~1,670 × 1,120 × 1,880 mm | Allow additional clearance on all sides for extraction ducting, infeed access, and maintenance — this footprint alone is not sufficient for installation planning. |
Weight | ~1,250 kg | Above 500 kg — floor loading capacity should be confirmed with your structural engineer or building surveyor before installation. |
Noise Level | Not published — contact IWM | A confirmed noise level figure is needed to assess whether acoustic treatment or hearing protection zoning will be required in your facility; ask IWM for the test data when specifying. |
Certifications / Compliance | Contact IWM for current documentation | Confirm CE marking and any relevant machinery directive compliance with IWM at point of order, particularly if the machine is being integrated into a wider extraction or handling system. |
