Removal of beetle infested wood
A major challenge in recent years is the fight against bark beetles. They attack healthy trees and can cause forest stands to die over large areas.

Tackle the bark beetle with mulching
Targeted and rapid mulching can prevent and contain the presence of bark beetles. In addition, it can destroy possible breeding sites. The mulch material is left on site and the area can easily be further processed. This creates an optimum environment for plant growth.
The powerful carrier vehicles and forestry mulchers from Prinoth are perfectly suited for use here. On flat terrain, along skid trails, or even on extremely steep inclines. They guarantee maximum efficiency and performance in the shortest possible time, enabling the processing of large volumes of damaged timber and facilitating reforestation.

frequently asked questions
The removal of beetle wood refers to mechanical measures to quickly shred wood damaged by bark beetles and destroy breeding sites before the pest infestation spreads further. The mulch remains on site and creates ideal conditions for later reforestation.
Rapid mulching helps to destroy potential breeding sites of the bark beetle, stop the spread and protect forest stands from further dieback. At the same time, it provides prepared material for further forest maintenance or reforestation measures.
Powerful Prinoth tracked vehicles such as the Raptor models combined with suitable mulchers are ideal for processing large quantities of damaged timber efficiently and safely on a variety of terrains. But the large forestry mulchers for tractors are also ideal.
Prinoth offers mulchers for various carriers - both mechanical and hydraulic. In many cases, retrofitting is possible without any problems.
Long reach and high performance ensure that even extensive damaged areas or heavily overgrown terrain can be processed quickly, saving time and money while increasing safety.
As the mulch remains directly on the surface and improves the soil, reforestation can begin immediately after processing.
Yes, the machines are designed to ensure maximum efficiency and safety even on challenging terrain such as steep slopes or uneven forest ground.
The remaining mulch promotes natural soil improvement, supports subsequent reforestation and helps to maintain soil fertility.
Mechanical mulching shreds wood directly on site, which reduces transport costs and quickly prepares the area for further ecological measures, while traditional harvesting methods are often more labor-intensive and costly.
Mulching saves time, reduces costs and prevents the spread of the beetle through transportation routes. In addition, valuable biomass remains in the forest and improves the soil structure.
By removing the breeding sites and leaving the biomass, a nutrient-rich soil is created that accelerates the regeneration of the forest and strengthens its resistance to future pests.
Drivers should always be trained in handling forestry mulchers. Many users also take advantage of training or service offers to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Yes - in addition to machine delivery, Prinoth offers technical support, training, spare parts and advice for optimum use and maintenance and maximum machine availability.
