Features and benefits
Optimised debarking performance
With four hydraulically movable delimbing knives, a fixed top knife and a fixed rear knife, this head is optimised for eucalyptus 20–26 cm. The knives’ compound‑curve design follows the stem’s shape for efficient, high‑quality debarking.
Knife option for larger trees
Standard knives suit stems between 5–26 cm, with optional knives available for improved debarking results on larger trees.
Reliable measurement and feeding
A sensor in the feed roller arm pivot ensures accurate diameter control, while angled feed roller arms and belly support reduce friction and improve feeding efficiency.
Service made easy
The S162E has a simple, robust design with well-proven components. This makes the head both service-friendly and dependable, ensuring consistent and high production.
Durability and uptime
Built on Komatsu’s proven S-head design, the S162E delivers reliability you can count on. Its automatic chain tensioner and reinforced structure further reduce downtime, ensuring long-term productivity in demanding eucalyptus operations.
