Vermeer
The BC2000XL brush chipper from Vermeer has two 18-inch diameter spring-tensioned vertical feed rollers to automatically control the feeding of material into the cutting chamber.

This system monitors changes in engine rpm and automatically stops or reverses the feed rollers to optimize production. To improve operator safety, a bottom feed stop bar system makes it possible for the operator's leg to strike the bar and shut off the feed either intentionally or automatically in an emergency situation.
