Cannabis Extracts Face Stricter Controls Amid Regulatory Shift

[fieldsofgreen]

Hi, I want to buy a chipper to handle banana trees and banana waste. Maybe small diameter branches too, but mainly banana trees, of which I have several hundred. Can somebody recommend a chipper that would do the job. I have so far only seen the Karten, which is for up to 4 inches, but not sure if moisture laden banana trees would clog it up. Thanks in Anticipation.

A banana tree can be a quite big, finding a chipper that would chop them, most chippers are self-feeding,  the plant/branch go's in between two rollers that are spring mounted and will open as the tree/branch is feed in ,if the tree branch is to big it will not feed in ( you could take the spring out make feeing easier),  banana trees are soft easy to chop, could you cut the bigger ones down the middle? ,they would then fit in a chipper blockage should not be a problem.

For chippers try   patipong.com, they are in Pathum Thani north of Bangkok, they is/was videos of their chippers .

Also look at past posts on chipper shredders on AV.

Yes, wet and stringy, fibers will wrap cutters and shaft and clog. Only a larger chipper will do it.

Cost-effective alternative: chop and drop (cut and leave lay) for mulch. add manure for fertility. 

 

What variety are you growing? What province?

we use One of THESE to chop our banana trees
up to you what motor you want to purchase
once chopped ferment the chopped tree in water and use for chicken feed

There is a pretty good Thai made chopper for around 25000 baht with an ICE.

Thinking about buying that one.
