Mobile Mulcher Dynamic Balancing 

Mulchers are dynamic by design and require attention in order to prevent costly downtime. One problem mulchers can experience is excessive vibration. A degree of vibration that exceeds that which is caused by normal mulcher operation can be damaging to the machine components. This will in turn lead to poor performance or premature equipment failure.

Mulcher vibration can be created by a variety of factors, including a mass imbalance of the rotor assembly. Vibration can actually occur in a statically balanced rotor, and the even act of remounting a rotor can cause an imbalance resulting from slight changes in alignment. It is virtually impossible to balance every rotating component then mount each component properly, so dynamic balancing is required.
