SP 461 LF

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed description of the SP 461 LF harvester head, emphasizing its low friction (LF) technology, which enhances performance and productivity while minimizing wear and fuel consumption. The harvester head is designed for efficient operation in both small and large diameter thinning.
Specifications: The SP 461 LF features a compact and lightweight design, making it suitable for dense stands. It operates with a minimum pump capacity of 185 l/min and a recommended working pressure of 23-25 MPa. The feeding system includes proportional clamping pressure and roller motors of 398, 450 cc, with a maximum opening of 420 mm and a feed speed of 5 m/s. The cutting system uses the SuperCut 100 saw unit with a cutting diameter of 530 mm and a chain speed of 40 m/s.
Key Features: The harvester head includes several patented technologies such as proportional angled feed rollers and LogHold, which enhance handling and capacity. The delimbing system features high-strength steel knives with long cutting edges for efficient limb removal. The frame is constructed from wear-resistant materials for durability.
Performance: The SP 461 LF is optimized for tree sizes with a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 10-25 cm, but can handle up to 35 cm. It is equipped with separate knife control for processing crooked trees and reversing large diameter trees.
Accessories and Options: The harvester head can be fitted with various accessories to optimize performance for different conditions, including different feed rollers, a complete measurement and control system, and a colour marking system. Multi-tree equipment is available for high productivity in small diameter stands.
Recommendations: The SP 461 LF can be mounted on various carriers, including conventional forest machines and excavators. It is recommended to consult with SP dealers for optimal setup.

SP 461 LF-2

Maximum production and minimum friction LF stands for “Low Friction” and refers to the very low friction that arises between trunk and harvester head in the LF series. LF minimises the friction during feeding, thereby maximising the harvester head’s performance and production. The low friction also minimises damage to the trunk, wear on the harvester head and fuel consumption. The LF harvester heads have a low weight in relation to their capacity, and their compact design means that they can also be manoeuvred easily in dense stands. LF comprises four smart systems that help to minimise friction...

Proportionally angled feed rollers mean that when the harvester head is fully open (at maximum tree size) the feed roller provide maximum angle and carrying force in relation to the trunk. Ther larger the trunk, the greater the carrying force. This means that the tarvester head feeds the trunk through quickly and easily, which in turn increases production. (SP patent) The proportional pressure means that the harvester head automatically works with the correct trunk diameter. This minimises both energy consumption and wear. Various settings for different tree types maximise production and minimise...

- a big little harvester head The SP 461 LF is a very fast, nimble high performance harvester head. It is designed according to SP´s Low Friction principle for minimum friction and maximum productivity. The SP 461 LF is perfectly suited to work on midsize thinning carriers with long reach as well as smaller in stand thinning carriers. Fast feeding in combination with low weight and very compact measurements ensures highest efficiency and productivity even in dense small diameter thinning. In larger diameter thinning the clever SP patents LogHold and proportional angled feed rollers gives the...

- Details The floating top knife gives an excellent delimbing, lower friction as well as an easier processing of crocked stems. Casted in high strength steel for best durability. The three movable delimbing knives are casted in high strength steel for best durability. The upper and lower knives have a unique radius to each other providing an absolute perfect delimbing result all the way from 350 to 30mm. The frame consists of only the best possible materials. Parts of the frame that are in contact with the trunk is of a highly wear resistant material for longest possible life. The clean design...

- Details The movable accumulating block for incoming hoses minimizes wear on both hoses as well as on the valve bank. All functions of the harvester heads are integrated in one compact valve bank for a minimum of hoses. The perfectly adjusted hydraulics works very efficient with a minimum of losses. In combination with the LF principle this makes the SP 461 LF a very fast and easy to work with harvester head with an unrivalled productivity. The colour marking system SUPERMARK is one of many clever options. The colour tanks are strategically placed for best function and protection. The main cover...
