Cryogenic Processing to Increase Blade Performance
You can now improve performance and increase the life of metal cutting tools, blades, punches, dies, slitters, shears and knives through cryogenic processing — at 300 degrees below zero. Cryo-processing increases abrasive wear resistance, raises the tensile strength and decreases brittleness in one permanent treatment. It creates a denser molecular structure and closes the grains structure, resulting in a larger contact surface area that reduces friction, heat and wear. Cryogenic treatment changes the entire structure, not just the surface. Subsequent refinishing or regrinding operations don’t affect the permanent improvements of the processing. When the cryo-treated tool does wear, the degree of wear reportedly is less severe, slower and more uniform. Therefore, less material must be removed to re-sharpen it.

Komatsu’s New PC300LL-7 Forestry Machine
In January, Komatsu America Corp. introduced the PC300LL-7, its first Dash 7 purpose-built forestry machine. It features two new forestry track frame options — High/Wide and standard clearance — and “woods-tough” guarding and cab/riser packages. To increase durability and performance it incorporated swing and track components from the next-larger-size-class excavator. The PC300LL-7 operates at 242 HP with a swing torque of 96,503 ft/lbs. for log loading (both heel-type and butt-n-top methods), shovel logging and road building applications. The PC300LL-7 can be configured to meet two applications — Log Loader and Roadbuilder — offering more flexibility. And it features the company’s patented, load-sensing HydrauMind hydraulic system that automatically adjusts machine operation to compensate for the given application. For more information on this purpose-built forestry machine, please contact your local distributor or call Komatsu at (866) 513-5778, or visit their website at http://www.komatsuamerica.com

The New Timberline DL3800
The DL3800 uses Timber-line’s blending of horsepower and hydraulic output to achieve high production delimbing. It incorporates a side discharge chute for the added advantage of short wood delimbing as well as longwood decking. DL3800 also features Timberline’s internal hose reel for smoother, more efficient boom motion. The internal hose reel eliminates the external cables and hoses found on some competitive models. The DL3800 has the power to handle hardwood jobs at top speed. Optional feed rollers produce speeds that rival processor heads while delivering steady production and purpose-built reliability. The DL3800 comes standard with a 215 HP, or an optional 240 HP Cummins diesel engine. For more information, contact your nearest Timberline dealer or visit them online at www.timberlineequipment.com.
