Bite Limiter technology now available on FAE's mulcher for 5-ton excavators

FAE has brought the new Bite Limiter technology of the BL0/EX to the market, which is now available for 5-ton excavators.

The BL0/EX is one of FAE's smallest fixed-tooth mulchers, capable of shredding light vegetation, shrubs, and trees up to 3 inches in diameter. It can be used for maintenance along roadsides and railroad tracks, on the banks of canals, rivers, and lakes, to manage and protect wildlife habitats, and for the upkeep of commercial parks and sports grounds.

The head is designed for high productivity, durability, and easy maintenance

Bite Limiter technology makes this head ideal for high-productivity vegetation management, with reliably efficient shredding. The Bite Limiter rotor comes with wear-resistant steel profiles that limit the reach (bite) of the teeth also cuts down on power demand and encourages a consistent working speed for sustained performance when shredding wood. The Bite Limiter technology also minimizes rotor stalling and helps optimize fuel consumption.

The BL0/EX's Direct Drive motor minimizes maintenance and facilitates an extremely compact design for better manouevrability. The head's clean profile and compact build are further enabled by the hydraulic block with a flow regulator valve built into the motor, as well as the thumb bracket in the frame.

The new BL0/EX can be equipped with BL/MINI blades or C/3/MINI teeth and is available in working widths of BL0/EX-50, BL0/EX-75, and now BL0/EX-100.
