The Blackstone DSP 150 B petrol wood chipper / shredder allows reducing the weeds and twigs to an easy to handle and suitable size for composting. The crushing of the material reduces the time required for the decomposition of the latter.
Cutting diameter: 80 mm
The garden shredder is equipped with a Briggs & Stratton engine with 420cc (15.5HP), a powerful and long-lasting engine over time, reliable even for the most demanding jobs, distinguishing itself from all other less reliable engines.
The machine is able to even process very bulky branches and leaves, without a pre-shredding. Thus, it also features a large capacity that allows entering large volumes of material at a time. Thanks to the wheels and handles placed at the ends of the hopper, the displacement of the machine is simple and able to reduce the strain during the manual movement of the machine.
This petrol shredder is built following the logic of the large wood chipper, thus obtaining the best results in terms of cut, speed and reliability; it complies with CE regulations on safety at work.
The shredder is equipped with a safety system located into the opening of the grinding chamber.
Warning: Like all wood chippers and chipper, it is not suited for the shredding of grass, leaves, pine needles, etc.… (It is made to shred branches, but it can grind the leaves, needles and certain other vegetation may be attached to them)
Main user requirements for all the shredders on the market:
- The shredder must grind recently cut branches from the tree, not dried (they would limit the shredding capacity and lead to a rapid deterioration of the blade);
- The branches must be preferably long-limbed, smooth and not lumpy (otherwise the cutting diameter is reduced);
- The diameter of said cut is the maximum, so it is advised not to try and shred larger branches. In that case it would be preferable to evaluate the purchase of a shredder with a larger cutting diameter;
- The cutting diameter can vary according to the amounts of the wood (e.g: oak, olive, plum and peach are hardwoods and can reduce the cutting ability of the wood chipper)
