Fecon introduces new mobile balancing systems for forestry mulchers
The systems can work on any make or model of forestry mulcher. The FMB100 is a solution to the damaging vibration caused by rotor imbalance. The FMB-200 is a dynamic balancer with full spectral analysis. Not only can it walk one through the balancing process, indicating where to add weight and how much, it also analyses all frequencies to help troubleshoot vibrations that are not from rotor imbalance.
