Biomass Collection System
Fells, Chips, & Collects
All in One Machine
The Fecon Bio-Harvester is a unique piece of
forestry equipment which simultaneously fells, chips,
and collects biomass.
The material is chipped using Fecon chipper knives
or carbide tools, it is then augured into a material fan
and blown into a collection unit. The harvesting head
is mounted on a Fecon FTX440 Crawler Mulcher. The
FTX440 has the ability to withstand forest conditions
and tow a collection unit.
The Bio-Harvester enables utilization of hazardous
forest fuel loads, habitat restoration materials,
and plantation thinning residues; providing a non-
agricultural renewable energy biomass supply and
promoting forest management practices. Targeting
material 6” in diameter and smaller. The harvester
produces green forest chips from previously unutilized
and fire-prone fuel ladder material. The chips can then
be used to produce bioenergy via the generation of
electricity or liquid fuel production.
The Bio-Harvester is continuing to be modified
in design to increase productivity and provide a
commercially competitive biomass harvesting system.
The Fecon Bio-Harvester will be a vital tool as the
United States works to economically increase usage of
renewable energy.
