FAE Introduces the New BL0/EX-100 Mulcher for 4- to 5-Ton Excavators
FAE has taken its popular BL0/EX mulcher — featuring Bite Limiter technology — and made it available for 4- to 5-ton excavators with the new BL0/EX-100.
According to FAE, the BL0/EX is one of the smallest fixed-tooth mulchers on the market and is capable of shredding light vegetation, shrubs and trees up to 3 in. in diameter. The company said the mulcher is ideal 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. FAE designed the BL0/EX for high productivity, durability and easy maintenance.
From the press release:
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. This cuts down on power demand and encourages a consistent working speed, for excellent performance when shredding any kind of wood. The Bite Limiter technology also minimizes rotor stalling and helps optimize fuel consumption.
FAE noted these additional features of FAE’s BL0/EX:
- A Direct Drive motor minimizes maintenance and facilitates an extremely compact design for better maneuverability
- Its clean profile and compact build are further enabled by the hydraulic block with flow regulator valve built into the motor
- Can be equipped with BL/MINI blades or C/3/MINI teeth
- Available in working widths of BL0/EX-50, BL0/EX-75 and now BL0/EX-100
