2024 Vermeer® BC1500 PSI

Information

2024 Vermeer® BC1500 PSI

The Vermeer BC1500 brush chipper uses a precision-balanced 22.5-in (57.2-cm) drum with two 5-in x 8-in (12.7-cm x 20.3-cm) A8 double-sided knives to chip through material up to 15 in (38.1 cm). Powered by a Tier 4 Final Cummins diesel engine and a PSI 5.7L gas engine, the BC1500 can handle the toughest of material with ease.

Features may include:

SmartFeed system

Improve productivity with the SmartFeed system, which monitors engine rpm and senses jams, automatically stopping or reversing the rollers as needed.

Vertical feed rollers

Reduce vibration and structural loading to the rear of the machine with vertical feed rollers designed with helical cleats that hold material more firmly.
