In the KESLA C645 product family chippers, the size of the intake opening is 630 mm * 420 mm.
The KESLA C645T and C645C chippers can be equipped with HD, i.e. Robson, roller drive intended for random use. Thanks to the drive, they can be used even in challenging conditions, such as unstable ground and heavy snow.
All KESLA C645 series chippers can be equipped with a two-cylinder beam control (container chipper with one large cylinder). The benefits of beam control are familiar from timber trailers: excellent agility and improved all-terrain capabilities.
The chip piece size can be adjusted with screens. Changing screens is easy and does not require any special tools. There are various screens available.
Robust stabiliser legs suitable for chipper use improve the flow of work.
Upon request, the chipper can also be fitted with 1–2 lockable stainless steel toolboxes.
The chippers can be fitted with a chute camera to facilitate the direction of the chip jet, and another camera can be fitted in the back of the chipper as a reversing camera to facilitate movement with the combination and placement of the crane in the transport position.
Braking equipment improves the safety and manoeuvrability of the combination. Hydraulic brakes are available for all KESLA C645 series chippers. In addition, pneumatic brakes can be requested for the C645S and C645T heavy duty models.
Kesla’s logCUT rotor is suitable for both light and heavy use. The rotor was designed to produce a uniform chip size. All wear parts of the rotor are replaceable. The rotor has six blade holders. The blades are attached with four M24 bolts without adjuster bolts. Friction locking allows the blades to retract if they hit metal or stone. One-sided and two-sided blades are available. They can be sharpened and are easy to replace.
The feed table is long, which, together with the aggressive upper roller, keeps a hold of the trees until the rotor. Thanks to the high tailgate, the trees can be easily guided to the opening.
The patented cutting blade solution makes chipping productive and fuel-efficient.
Blade replacement is fairly easy, it takes just 15 minutes.
The fan offers suitable blowing power for different materials. Easily replaceable wear plates guarantee a long service life even in heavy use. The material is Hardox 6–16 mm.
The chute design offers a wide working radius thanks to a two-piece flap. It also enables a good chip output and precise blowing, supported by streamlined geometry. The chute also offers the possibility to blow through low-rise openings, such as doors, or into high containers. The chute design offers a wide working radius thanks to a two-piece flap.

Both the chipper and the KESLA crane are controlled by the same electrical control system, so no additional cables or switches are needed in the cabin. The right-hand mini joystick of the control system can be integrated into the right armrest of a Valtra tractor.
The KESLA cranes are ideal for chipper use – whether paired with the KESLA chippers or chippers from other brands. Also keep in mind the extensive bioenergy grapple range of the proG series.
The waste screws transport the fine material off the feeding mat past the rotor.
Easy maintenance has been ensured in the design of the entire chipper. The most important components are protected by replaceable wear parts and their replacement is quick. Maintenance items are easy to access.
