The NB STEMSTER III is a strong, efficient
and reliable harvester concept for wholerod
harvest of SRC as willow and poplar.
Nordic Biomass has acquired unique experience in
relation to the development, construction and
servicing of harvesting machinery for willow. A
number of harvesters have been developed with
financial support from domestic and
international development funds. In addition to
many years of both R&D and commercial contract
harvest in Denmark and abroad. To see some
of the prototypes and former harvesterconcepts,

Willow can either be harvested as rods or by
using ‘direct cut and chip’ harvesters as the
Claas concept. Wet woodchips are however not
posible to store. Wholerod harvested material
can be chipped during summer with a water
percentage around 18-25% - and then stored and
sold, whenever it may suit you, eg. when the
price is right! Moreover, dry and high quality
chips are in general better priced than wet
chips. |
