FAE’s versatile mulching tool

FAE has developed a new mulcher for use with excavators weighing from 20 to 25tonnes. This unit can be used for clearing construction sites. The UML/S/EX/VT shares features with the firm’s existing UML/EX and UMM/EX models. The firm claimed that the unit combines the compactness of the UML/EX with the robustness of the UMM/EX and completes its land-clearing product line. Features include bolted on counter-blades, a hydraulic opening system that is integrated into the frame and bolted on protection chains. T

8067 FAE has developed a new mulcher for use with excavators weighing from 20 to 25tonnes. This unit can be used for clearing construction sites. The UML/S/EX/VT shares features with the firm’s existing UML/EX and UMM/EX models. The firm claimed that the unit combines the compactness of the UML/EX with the robustness of the UMM/EX and completes its land-clearing product line. Features include bolted on counter-blades, a hydraulic opening system that is integrated into the frame and bolted on protection chains. The unit has a hydraulic motor with automatic variable torque (VT), which is said to increase the efficiency and allow a user to perform complex operations at the roadside, along riverbanks and on steep hillsides with minimal effort, while shredding trunks of a maximum diameter of 300mm. Standard equipment includes a 110/60CC variable torque hydraulic motor, anticavitation valve, flow control system valve, hydraulic hood and double row of interchangeable counter blades. Options include a 160/110CC variable torque hydraulic motor, custom-made attachment plate with pins, diverter valve and additional reinforced side plates. In addition, users can opt to have the rotor equipped with tooth type C/3/HD, type K, blade C/3 or tooth type I.

FAE’s RCU-75 tracked carrier comes with remote control and powerful 2.4 GHz comms

The RCU-75 can mulch vegetation up to 15cm in diameter using FAE’s BL2/RCU mulcher head. This has been designed to mulch vegetation up to 153mm in diameter. Importantly, the RCU-75 can work on inclines of up to 55 degrees without fear of sideslipping. Slopes as steep as these can be a problem for lighter and less robust tracked carriers, says FAE.

Meanwhile, the heavy-duty undercarriage features a hydraulic extendable and retractable independent track gauge system and an automatic tensioning system. Thanks to high profile rubber tracks, which are 86mm pitch and 330mm in width, oscillating rollers, and triple-flange style idlers, the RCU-75 can operate in the toughest of conditions.

A dual hydrostatic transmission provides better traction and optimal management of the attachments.

This new FAE tracked carrier is powered by a Kohler Common Rail electronic fuel injection engine, a compact, powerful, and fuel-efficient 55kW propulsion system that complies with the most stringent emission standards.

Electronically-controlled piston pumps combined with a dedicated electronic control unit provide an integrated technological system. The result is high performance and reliability that lasts, plus a simple and intuitive operation.

All this makes the RCU-75 excellent for working in hilly wooded areas, near railroad tracks, power lines, gas and oil pipelines, gardens, roadsides, highways, canals, rivers, and lakes, says the Italian manufacturer.
