摘要：Wood choppers shredding branches equipped with low power drive units (up to 10 kW) are characterized by low technical sophistication. Their work translates into the consumption of non-renewable energy sources and the emission of toxic exhaust compounds into the environment. There are innovative technical solutions that allow you to increase the efficiency of chopping machines while reducing environmental impact. Such systems improve the adaptation of chopping machines working conditions to the demand for the branch cutting process. The article characterizes the innovative speed control system of machines loaded periodically variable. The fuel consumption model was presented and referred to the pilot fuel consumption results of a prototype equipped with an adaptive system. Benefits and development directions of the tested systems have been demonstrated.
