Woodfuel Supply Chains from Clearfell Harvest Residues
Brash Bundle Machine Operation
A residue bundler can be used to gather and compact this material into cylindrical bales. A residue bundling machine is an attachment that is fitted to a forwarder machine. The bunk of the forwarder is removed, and the bundling unit is attached in its place. These bales are often called residue bundles, brash bales, or compact residue logs. These residue bundles are then forwarded out to the forest roadside using a standard forwarder, and transported to the end-user using standard timber trucks. This is an attractive property of the supply chain, the machines used and the links in the chain are already commonly in place in Irish forestry.
When the bundles are delivered to the end-user they are shredded prior to burning in the boiler.
