INDUSTRY NEWS Modular chipper
PRODUCTS
A
new chipper, the BRUKS 806, was presented by its manufacturer at
Elmia Wood in June. The need to reduce emissions from internal combustion engines drove BRUKS to choose a Scania diesel engine with catalytic converter and AdBlue additive. The engine produces 500 hp, more than in previous models, and has improved fuel- effi ciency. It allows the reduction of emissions to levels according EU Stage IIIB/Tier 4i, but is also prepared for the Stage IV / Tier 4f that is valid from 2014. In addition to the new engine, the BRUKS 806 is built in modular form, allowing the company to build unique machines according to customer requirements in a cost-effective way. Customers can select, according to their needs, chip tube, infeed table, drum, etc. A
new, longer version of the infeed table is also available. BRUKS has designed a new chip drum, which is a combination drum that gives customers more fl exibility, but is still based on the company’s proven chipping technique. It is also possible to obtain longer chips with the new drum as these are increasingly required by heating plants. Drums with three or four knives are available to make ‘micro-chips’. The hydraulic, electric and steering systems are all new, the chip bin for the STC is improved and strengthened, and the chip accelerator has been given a new type of drive to ensure a constant and stronger output of chips.

Guide to ISO 50001
A practical guide entitled ‘Implementing and Improving an Energy Management System - How to meet the Requirements of ISO 50001’ provides a detailed process-by-process guide to understanding and implementing the international standard for energy management systems. The authors are Graham
Wooding, who was previously part of the international team that drafted the standard, and Kit Oung, who chairs two international standards committees in developing energy auditing standards. Part A discusses ISO
management system standards generally, putting ISO 50001 into
General-purpose harvester
The completely new Scorpion harvester introduced at this year’s Elmia Wood is the latest addition to the Ponsse range of cut-to- length forest machines. It is said to offer incredible visibility and steering, unbeatable stability, power and productivity, whilst respecting the forest environment with minimum surface pressure. The eight-wheel Scorpion raises productivity and sets a new standard for driver ergonomics with unparalleled visibility in every direction, under all conditions, ensured by large windows with narrow pillars, including a window in the roof of the cab. The Scorpion is a general- purpose harvester with a powerful
context, explains how to get the most benefi t from its use and shows the steps necessary for implementation based on the ISO ‘process approach’. Part B tackles the core technical principles of energy management needed for successful use of the standard. It is aimed at those non-energy professionals who would welcome some technical help. Part C takes a clause-by-
and eco-friendly Euromot 4F-level six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz engine, and a large 210 cu cm working pump. Where maximum power is required, Ponsse’s ScorpionKing offers the same ergonomics with two-circuit hydraulics.
Other benefi ts are: levelling of the cabin and crane; stability of the machine; smooth and logical crane control; and long-term comfort and ergonomics. The new 4F engine and
improved hydraulics have enabled service intervals to be extended from 600/1,200 hours to 900/1,800 hours.
