Overview

The 6040 carbonizer is an advanced, cost-effective and environmentally appealing wood debris conversion system. The carbonizer sequesters carbon for beneficial reuse while reducing total fibre volume onsite.

Control and Information Systems

Tigercat designed operating system and telematics information system provides a simple, intuitive interface and an excellent operator experience.

Temperature control sensors located throughout the machine monitor for optional carbonizing performance.

Powerful engine diagnostic and service support tools for maximum uptime.

Inside the Carbonizing Chamber

Specially formulated thermal-ceramic panels store and utilize the heat energy produced from the carbonizing process to provide equalized and sustained internal temperatures, along with low back-face temperatures. The replaceable panel seal plate design further enhances internal temperature stability and reduces panel wear.

The result is reduced emissions, greater infeed rates, a higher quality organic carbon and increased yield.

Pivoting Conveyor

Integrated bolt-on discharge conveyor with 105 degree swing and 3,65 m (12 ft) clearance for easy handling of organic carbon product output.

The conveyer stows away within the width and height envelope of the machine for convenient road transport.

6040 Carbonizer in Action


Watch the 6040 Carbonizer processing wood debris to produce consistent and high-grade organic carbon. The conversion process reduces the volume of infeed material by 90% and sequesters 25-30% of the total available carbon. It replaces open burning or other carbon intensive conversion processes, while creating a useful product.
