Matt O’Connor, product specialist for carbonizing systems, takes us on a walk-around of the 6040 carbonizer. The 6040 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. Watch this video to learn about the key features and benefits of owning a 6040 carbonizer.

An innovative California-based rancher and forestry professional employs Tigercat’s mobile carbonization technology to improve forest and soil health, mitigate wildfire risk and sequester carbon.
The 6040 transforms biomass into a durable and valuable carbon-based product called biochar through the processes of controlled pyrolysis, volatile burnout, and carbon stabilization. Feedstock volume is reduced by 90%, while the end product retains 25–30% of the total carbon in the feedstock. The carbon is effectively sequestered for centuries and the product is stable and suited to many soil and environmental applications.
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.
