Chilean Cities Boost Sustainable Urban Management with Expansion of PTU 300 and PDU 260 Chipper Line

Valdivia, Chile – February 27, 2026 – The city of Valdivia, renowned for its environmental sustainability initiatives, is expanding its fleet of equipment for urban waste management. The urban line of brush and branch chippers is gaining prominence with the growing adoption of the PTU 300 (85 hp) and PDU 260 (60 hp) models, ideal for processing branches and prunings in municipal areas, parks, and public roads.

These chippers, designed for urban operations with mobility and efficiency, reduce waste volume by up to 80%, facilitating transportation and composting. The PTU 300, with an 85 hp engine, offers high-capacity shredding for branches up to 30 cm in diameter, while the PDU 260, at 60 hp, is perfect for smaller demands, featuring a robust rotor and hydraulic feeding system that ensures safety and productivity.

This expansion reflects Valdivia's commitment to the circular economy, aligning with goals for emission reduction and green space management. Local authorities highlight that the equipment arrives through partnerships with specialized suppliers, inspired by proven solutions in the South American market.

Foremak is a leading Chilean company, specialized in supplying high-tech equipment and heavy machinery, with a strong focus on the forestry, biomass, and urban maintenance sectors.

Headquartered in southern Chile, in the city of Valdivia (Los Ríos Region), the company has built its reputation over more than a decade as a strategic partner for industries seeking efficiency in waste processing and renewable energy generation.

With this initiative, Valdivia positions itself as a model for other Chilean communes, integrating technological innovation with environmental preservation.
