Page 19: Machine Components
MACHINE COMPONENTS The Wallenstein Trailer Chipper-Shredder is a rotor with blades and knives for chipping and mulching wood. Feed hoppers move the wood material into the rotor for chipping and into the knives for shredding/mulching. The chipper rotor is designed with 2 blades to provide uniform chip size. The shredder rotor is equipped with 3 sets of swinging knives to provide a fine mulch. A chop block in the mulcher compartment shreds the material as it moves through the machine. An engine is mounted on the frame to drive the rotor. Power is transmitted through a centrifugal clutch on the engine output shaft and through a v belt drive system.

Page 40: Blade And Breaker Maintenance
7.2.6 BLADE AND BREAKER MAINTENANCE: The rotor and ledger blades need to be sharp for the Chipper / Shredder to perform as expected. Periodic inspection is recommended. Keep the blades sharp to reduce the amount of power required during operation. Watch the sharpness of the blades when processing material with a lot of sand, soil or dirt mixed with it. Reverse or sharpen the blades if the cutting edge becomes dull. Rotor Blades: The rotor is equipped with 2 blades spaced evenly to keep the rotor in balance. If one needs to be changed, the one opposite should also be changed. It is recommended that the rotor blades be removed from the rotor when sharpening. Always sharpen the blades at a 45° angle to provide the best cutting effect as it meets the stationary blade. Be sure to tighten the blade mounting bolts to their specified torque when re-installing the blades to the rotor. 1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off and the fuel valve is Rotor Blade closed). 2. Remove the bolt that secures the upper rotor housing, and carefully open the rotor housing. 3. Manually rotate chipper rotor plate so that the blade is fully exposed 4. Remove the bolts that hold the rotor blade to the rotor, remove... -

Ledger Blades: Each machine is equipped with a ledger (stationary) blade that acts as a shear for the moving rotor blades. The ledger blade is designed with 4 usable corners. When the corner facing the rotor blade rounds over, remove the blade and re-install with a different corner facing the rotor blade. It is recommended that the clearance between the rotor and stationary blades be set and maintained at 1/32 to 1/16 " (.76 - 1.52 mm) to obtain the best performance. 1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off and the fuel valve is closed). Ledger Blade Ledger Blade 2. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the ledger Bolts blade to the ledger mount, remove the blade. 3. Rotate the blade and replace or replace with new or re-sharpened blade. 4. Hand tighten the bolts and set the clear- ance between the ledger and rotor blades at 1/32 - 1/16" (.76 - 1.52 mm). For fast and easy setting, use our chipper clearance setting gauge, available from your dealer (see accessories) 5. Tighten down bolts as specified in the torque chart Fig. -
Page 42: Shredder Knives
Shredder Knives: The shredder rotor is designed with 3 sets of swinging knives (30 knives on the BXMT4224, 4228su, 4238) 27 knives on the BXMT3209, 3213, 3214su). Each knife has a bevelled edge that cuts, chops and mulches the material as it moves around the rotor compartment. In addition the chop block helps to break the material into smaller pieces and turn it into mulch. The sized opening in the divider at the top of the rotor keeps the material inside the rotor housing, until it becomes a fine enough to move through the opening to the rotor paddles and expelled out the discharge chute. To remove the knives follow this procedure: Shredder Knives and Spacers 1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off and the fuel valve is closed). 2. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the upper rotor housing, and carefully open the rotor housing. 3. Manually rotate chipper rotor plate so that one Shredder set of shredder knives is fully exposed Bolt 4. Loosen the shredder bolt that holds the set of shredder knives and spacers to the shredder plate, 5. Slowly remove the bolt while catching the knives and spacers as they become free. - Page 43 ChopBlock: The ChopBlock is an assembly of breaker tabs bolted in at the bottom of the upper rotor housing. The shredder knives pass through the chop block, and helps to break the material into smaller pieces and turn it into mulch. Inspect the chop block for damage such as gouges, bent, or missing teeth. A dam- aged chop block should be replaced. If it teeth are showing wear, remove and rotate the chop block. 1. Ensure the engine is off (ignition switch is off and the fuel valve is closed). 2. Remove the bolt that hold the upper rotor Chop Block housing, and carefully open the rotor housing. Bolts 3. Remove the 6 bolts that hold the chop block to Chop Block the housing, remove the chop block. 4. Rotate and install, or install a new chop block. 5. Replace the chop block bolts. 6. Close and secure the upper rotor housing. Fig. 24 CHOP BLOCK WARNING Machine is shown with guard removed for illustrative purposes only. Do not operate machine with guard removed.
