Bandit hand-fed chippers feature high-quality dual edge steel knives from TKM or Zenith. Each knife has two usable edges and can be flipped once one side is beyond use.
The chipper anvil is a stationary steel component mounted inside the disc or drum throat. The anvil acts as shear when each knife comes around to where the anvil is mounted.
Each Bandit chipper utilizes durable banded chipper belts to drive the chipper disc or drum.New belts will stretch very soon and must be adjusted in the first few hours of operation. Adjust after one hour of operation, then every four hours until the belts quit stretching. If belts are not adjusted properly, belts will slip and glaze over potentially ruining the belt. Additionally, once a belt Failure occurs, the belts could burn and fly off.
The shear bar is standard on all Bandit hand-fed chippers and is located on the top side of the drum housing. This device acts as a secondary knife and is designed to improve the chances of severing rope or line that may be accidentally drawn into the chipper drum. Bandit is the only manufacturer that offers this device, and it can be retrofitted to existing machines.
Most Bandit hand-fed chippers utilize an NACD over center or spring-loaded clutch to engage the disc or drum. The NACD spring-loaded clutch is a non-adjustable clutch featuring pressure plates that require no adjustments. Release levers rise to compensate as wear occurs.Each clutch will require periodic lubrication. New Bandit machines will ship with a dedicated clutch manual outlining the lubrication schedule and amount.
