Steel feed wheels

In addition to our patented flexible feed wheels, we manufacture steel feed wheels without the flexible structure. The steel feed wheels are a cost-effective and lightweight option. The wheels are also available with surface hardening. Furtherore MenSe manufactures and delivers special feed wheels according to customer needs and feed wheels for sawing machines.

Optimal grip surface for a variety of trunks

MenSe feed wheels are available with different measures and several grip surfaces:

standard surface for normal trunks
saving surface for thinner bark trunks
aggressive surface for thick barked trunks
extra wide, conical, debarking wheel for eucalyptus trees and other special designs

V-Tec wheel - light, versatile all-purpose wheel

The gripping surface machined onto the diagonal shank in the direction of the axle forms a circular outer sphere, which feeds timber evenly. Cutting length is achieved faster, the operation becomes more effective, improving profitability. The spikes on the diagonal shank provide sturdy support for the timber. The rollers provide excellent grip in both feeding directions, backwards and forwards. The grip also minimizes surface damage. Gripping pressure may be lowered, which also provides savings in fuel costs. V-Tec has an open, light, non-clogging structure. The rollers are made of hard, tough abrasion resistant steel.

XL-wheel for large trunks and trunks with many curves/branches and for multi tree handling

Asymmetric spikes made of wear-resistant steel give a maximal grip while feeding the trunk. The ”fingers” are hardened and machined leading to better durability and usability and allowing the tips to overlap better when the wheels are in contact with each other. The “fingers” broaden the wheel’s gripping surface thus increasing the support of large trunks.

A conical gripping surface allows a more solid grip on bigger tree trunks

The trunks are easier to handle while the spikes are longer in the outer rim enabling a better reach.

The lifetime of our feed wheels is several years, the warranty period covers 2000 working hours or 1 year. The flexible structure dampens the sharpest shocks to the harvester head and thus allows you to save in repair costs.
