The Komatsu S162E is a brand new harvester head specially developed for fast and efficient felling in Eucalyptus stands. It has a robust design based on well-known components, which gives the head an appreciated combination of reliability, productivity and profitability. S162E has four hydraulically movable delimbing knives and a fixed top knife. There is also a fixed delimbing knife in the rear part of the head that is optimised for eucalyptus trees with a diameter of between 20-26 cm. The delimbing knives have a compound curve shape, that follows the tree's natural shape and increases the quality of the debarking. Diameter measuring is included as standard with a sensor located in the feed roller arm pivot. The head has angled feed roller arms to optimise the debarking process. The frame also has a support roller in the belly to minimise friction. To reduce the environmental impact caused by oil leakage, the head is equipped with ORFS couplings. All in all, the Komatsu S162E is a productive head, well adapted to eucalyptus harvesting. It is built with the same well-proven components used in the other S-heads, which is a seal of quality.
