Abstract

This study was carried to develop the chip-harvester and to analysis the operation productivity and cost for effective collection and forwarding of forest biomass. Main target specification of chip-harvester is speed of 8km/h, maximum climbing capacity of $30^{\circ}$ and maximum load capability of 2000 kg. Body structure is articulate type to reduce turning radius. Driving equipment is six-wheel drive, and a rear wheel is tandem bogie type to increase grip force. As a result of the driving test about developed chip-harvester, driving speed was 6.9 km/hr and 8.1 km/hr in ${\pm}10%$ slope with loaded and 7.3 km/hr and 7.9 km/hr in ${\pm}10%$ slope without load. As a result of the operation productivity and cost, operation productivity of grinding and forwarding was approximately $10m^3$ per day, and operation cost was 393,126 won per day.

산림바이오매스의 효율적인 수집 및 운반을 위하여 칩하베스터를 개발하고 작업 생산성 및 비용을 분석하였다. 칩하베스터의 주요 목표제원은 속도 8 km/hr, 최대등판능력 $30^{\circ}$, 최대적재량 2,000 kg 등이고, 차체구조는 회전반경을 줄이기 위하여 차체굴절식을 채택하고, 주행장치는 6륜 구동으로 후륜은 접지력을 높이기 위하여 탠덤보기방식을 채택하였다. 개발된 칩하베스터의 주행테스트 결과, 칩 적재시 ${\pm}10%$ 경사에서 각각 6.9 km/hr, 8.1 km/hr로 나타났다. 또한, 공차시 ${\pm}10%$ 경사에서 각각 7.3 km/hr, 7.9 km/hr로 나타났다. 따라서, 주행성능은 개발목표를 달성하였다고 판단된다. 작업생산성 및 비용을 분석한 결과, 파쇄 및 운반의 작업생산성은 약 $10m^3$/일이었으며, 작업비용은 393,126원/일로 나타났다.
