CONVENIENT TURN-TABLE.
Allows the chipper
infeed to be rotated into seven
positions to face
the material for ease of feeding
and convenience
when working along the roadside.
An optional
height-adjustable surge brake is
available for
the BC230.
ECOIDLE™ ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM.
When the EcoIdle system is selected by the
operator, the engine speed automatically lowers
to a
preset rpm after one minute or five minutes
of
inactivity to help reduce fuel consumption when
not
chipping material. This idling can help reduce
emissions
and noise.
SMARTFEED. The SmartFeed system monitors
engine rpm and
automatically stops and reverses
the feed rollers to
maximize production. This system
also senses feed
roller jams and manipulates the
material
automatically to reduce the need for
manual
control bar use.
TWIN HORIZONTAL FEED ROLLERS. An
exceptional 23 x 35.5 cm infeed opening fed
by
oversized horizontal offset feed rollers helps
ensure that material at maximum capacity is
easily fed
THE VERMEER 3-YEAR WARRANTY RIDER.
The BC230 comes with a 3-year warranty rider
with an option to extend up to 5 years/5,000
hours. It’s the smart way to protect your
investment.
POWERFUL PERFORMANCE. The 74 hp
(55 kW) Stage V compliant Caterpillar
diesel
engine allows you not only to comply with
emissions requirements but also gives you enough
horsepower to meet your jobsite needs.
