The FINN Bark Blower applies landscape mulch and other bulk materials with
unprecedented efficiency, and eliminates the need for labor-intensive hand
application. Applications include commercial and residential mulch beds, slopes,
public gardens, playgrounds, amusement parks, rooftops, mall interiorscapes, and
similar applications where precise placement of bulk materials is required. Bark
Blowers apply standard bark mulch, wood chips, compost, soil amendments, and
other similar bulk materials. Bark blowers allow mulch application on virtually
any terrain, even in wet conditions, and handle bark mulch with high moisture
content with ease. Bark Blowers also reduce worker fatigue by allowing 2
operators to apply 15 cubic yd/hr compared to 2 cubic yd/hr using hand methods.
Additionally, they help reduce material cost from 20% - 40% by breaking up
material clumps and by producing an even mulch spreading pattern with fine
particles on the top. Bark mulch is propelled by a specially engineered airlock
system through various lengths of durable 4" flexible hose for application up to
200' from the Bark Blower. Remote controls allow the applicator to control power
and material flow from any operating distance. Units come with 150' of hose,
with additional lengths available in 50' sections. Below, are a list of the
available models we distribute.
The FINN BB302 Bark Blower applies landscape mulch and other
bulk materials with unprecedented efficiency, and eliminates the need for
labor-intensive hand application. The 1.5 cubic yard hopper is perfect for
smaller jobs and hard to reach areas.
Versatile.
BB302 applications include commercial and
residential mulch beds, slopes, public gardens, playgrounds, amusement parks,
mall interiorscapes, and other applications that require precise placement of
bulk materials. Apply standard bark mulch, wood chips, compost, and other
similar bulk materials. Mulch can be applied on virtually any terrain, even in
wet conditions.
Labor Saver.
The BB302 Bark Blower significantly reduces
worker fatigue. Two operators can easily apply more than 10 cubic yards of bark
mulch per hour, compared to approximately 1 cubic yard per man-hour via hand
methods. The BB302 helps reduce material cost from 20% to 40% by breaking up
material clumps and by producing an even mulch spreading pattern, with fine
particles on top.
Capably Equipped.
The BB302 propels bark mulch utilizing a
specially engineered air lock and blower system through various lengths of
durable 4” flexible hose – for application up to 200’ away. Remote controls
allow the operator to control power and material flow from any operating
distance. Units are equipped with 150’ of hose, with additional lengths
available in 50’ sections. A rear mounted hose reel is standard. As the world
leader for over 70 years in the design and manufacture of innovative, quality
equipment for the erosion control industry, FINN Corporation is committed to
your complete satisfaction.
BB705 Bark Blower
FINN is excited to announce the addition of the new BB705 Bark
Blower to its high-powered performance and productivity enhancing Bark Blower
line. The new BB705 provides the ideal entry level option to the truck mounted
power models. The BB705 has found its perfect niche integrating the technology
and capabilities of the truck mounted series with the accessibility and
operational ease of the trailer mounted units. The BB705 Bark Blower provides
options to enhance efficiency and utility. The optional seed injection allows
for calibration of seed into compost or topsoil mixes for one-step seeding
operations. This presents great opportunities for contractors wanting to enter
markets in addition to mulch blowing, such as erosion control and seeding. The
new BB705 increases utilization and profit. Optional front conveyor provides
hydraulic feed during operation from a towing vehicle. This allows for
continuous use of the unit.
Enhanced Features, Significant Benefits. Greater Power,
Less Fuel: Tier II Kubota V3300 71 hp engine increasing fuel efficiency and
increasing hp to the blower Versatile Material Handling: 4.5 cubic yard
hopper, upgraded floor drive shaft, and increased running gear capacity allow
for blowing a greater variety of bulk materials that are heavier such as soil,
compost and high moisture mulch Increased Reliability, Reduced Service Costs:
Advanced couplings replicating the truck mounted system, more robust hose
reel, and new wiring harness relocated from high heated areas Greater
Accessibility: More accessible discharge outlet More Efficient Design:
To work efficiently in higher heat conditions the air cleaner has been
placed to draw in cooler air, engine exhaust was reconfigured and engine cabinet
door was perforated to minimize heat build-up inside the cabinet Other standard
features include a hydraulically powered rear mounted hose reel. An internal
engine access panel, removable from inside the hopper, enables two-sided access
to the engine compartment for inspection and maintenance. Floor speed read-out
and precise speed settings are also standard. A rear hopper inspection platform,
with ladder, provides convenient operator visibility into the hopper.
Versatility Comes Standard.
The versatility of the
BB705 conquers a vast array of applications including: •Commercial/residential
mulch beds, slopes, public gardens • Playgrounds, amusement parks, sports field overseeding • Soil/compost, erosion control/berms • Aggregate installation, salt/sand spreading
Using the BB705, mulch can be applied on virtually any terrain,
even in wet conditions.
BB1208, BB1216 & BB1222 Bark Blowers
BB1208 Truck Mounted
BB1216
FINN Bark Blowers apply landscape mulch and other bulk materials
with unprecedented efficiency, and eliminate the need for labor-intensive hand
application. The BB1208, with 8.2 cubic yard capacity, the BB1216, with 15.7
cubic yard capacity and the BB1222, with 21.8 cubic yard capacity, provide high
efficiency mulch application capabilities for landscape maintenance companies
and mulch suppliers.
Versatile Applications. The BB1208, BB1216 and BB1222 are
perfect for large mulching projects including commercial and residential mulch
beds, slopes, public gardens, playgrounds, amusement parks, rooftops, mall
