Tigercat carbonizer

Tigercat Industries, an Ontario-based equipment manufacturer, says its new 6040 carbonizer mobile unit can convert scrap wood into a marketable organic carbon product. The wood reduction and conversion system can accept woody debris, including scrap wood, land clearing debris and logging and agriculture residue. It produces high-quality organic carbon with up to 90 percent material reduction, according to Tigercat, and the resulting product can be left on-site as a soil additive or marketed for other commercial uses. Key features include:

• a machine weight of 83,000 pounds with an extended track frame to improve load distribution

• a modular bolt-on design that allows for ease of service and replacement of components

• an auger trough designed for minimal air leakage, assisting with under-air efficiency

• a hydraulic water supply pump and integrated automatic water level control system
