Ceccato Triton One - Petrol garden Shredder - Honda GX 200 engine

The Ceccato Tritone ONE is a lightweight petrol garden shredder intended for professional use.

The wood chipper shreds brushwood and twigs making them suitable for composting. Shredding operations also allow reducing the material decomposing time.

The large steel hopper can process even very bulky branches and leaves without having to pre-shred them. Thus, it also features a higher capacity that allows entering a large amount of material at a time.

Cutting diameter: 50/60 mm

This wood chipper is MADE IN ITALY, featuring the quality of large-sized shredders, thus ensuring maximum results in terms of cutting, speed and reliability.

The machine is compliant with the CE standards.

The overall weight of the unit is 86 Kg.

Garden shredders intended use:
- The wood chipper must grind only green branches and not dried ones (which would limit its shredding capacity and lead to quick deterioration of the blades);
- The branches must be preferably long, smooth and not knobby (otherwise the cutting diameter would be reduced);
- The branch cutting diameter indicated is the maximum, so it is advised not to shred larger branches. In this case it would be better to purchase a shredder with a larger branch cutting diameter;
- The cutting diameter can vary according to the amounts of wood (e.g: oak, olive, plum and peach are hardwood and can reduce the cutting capacity of the wood chipper);

The machine is able to process even very bulky branches and leaves, without having to pre-shred them.

• UNIFIED HOPPER:

It considerably simplifies and speeds up the operations.
It eliminates the constant operation of dividing the material (before shredding) between the large, woody sections and the smaller, green sections, each of them must be placed in their own hopper (an operation required by all standard shredders equipped with 2 hoppers).

• SELF-FEEDING:

Once introduced the branches into the hopper, the shredder pulls them inside the shredding unit autonomously thanks to the hopper vertical design. Thanks to the gravitational force, the mechanism can pull inside the branches to be shredded.

WARNING: the branches must not be too bulky because this may limit the functionality of the machine.

Focus on the transparent rubber bulkheads placed on hopper opening.

Hopper size: (Width x Height ) 35 x 35 cm

Focus on the wood chipper handle for easy transport.

The outer shredding chamber is proportionate to the rotor it includes. It guarantees excellent productivity, as well as the durability of the system. The machine structure is 100% made of steel. No plastic has been used.

The central rotor is composed of 2 steel flywheels firmly assembled together. These then represent a sturdy unit (the main component of the garden shredder) of truly superior size, strength and performance.

Reinforced shredding blades: 2 large shredding blades. These blades pre-shred the material into the hopper creating a coarse wood chip (the blades are highly thick and fixed with 4 stainless steel bolts).

Focus on the hammer: 8 hardened steel shredding blades (or hammers) rotating at high speed. Thanks to their centrifugal motion they shred the branches in small wood chips.

Focus on the counter-blades: Once assembled the hopper, they’ll be placed near the 2 rotating cutting blades fixed on the rotor. Thus, the "Blade + Counter-blade" system makes shredding operations easier and more efficient, reducing motor effort at the same time.

Focus on the sieve: this model of garden shredder is almost the only machinery equipped with a discharge chute featuring an openable and closable sieve, which allows the wood chips to be discharged exclusively once perfectly shredded by the 8 hammers. The sieve is equipped with a pivoting pin and a knob that allows it to be engaged to or disengaged from the chute. Lifting the grid will produce coarser fragments, maximising the hourly output of the shredder. By lowering the sieve, on the other hand, will maximise the shredding capacity of the machine, producing smaller wood chips.

Focus on the outer sieve adjustment knob.

The Honda GX 200 engine is powerful and heavy-duty, with the latest generation technology in OHV valve head.

Features:

The Honda “GX” series is highly professional and was developed for heavy duty jobs in building and agricultural field for generators, welders etc., reliable and long life.

INTERMEDIATE REINFORCED BELT DRIVE.

This transmission gives the machine an extraordinary sturdiness, protecting both the motor and the internal shredding rotor from any kind of internal shock or kickback.

In case of a rotor clogging caused, for example, by a too large branch, stones, etc.. there is no risk of breaking the drive shaft and the motor, but the intermediate belt will slip or at least will brake down.

Much longer service life than the standard systems still used by all manufacturers on their petrol-powered models where the engine is directly connected to the shredding unit.

Equipped with anti-vibration rubbers and heavy-duty pneumatic wheels for easy transport.

Nominal power: 6.5 Hp
The correct term would be "Commercial” Power, meaning the standard definition used until a few years ago by all well-known engine manufacturers.

* This technical feature is the one indicated in the main sales channels, even if it is higher than the real power of the engine.

Rated power: 5.5 Hp
It refers to the real power of the engine. This is the power indicated as official in the manual or in the technical data of the engine manufacturer.

* This technical feature may vary from a an engine model to another according to the rotation speed provided by the manufacturer.

WARNING:

The engine is PROVIDED WITHOUT OIL. Please carefully read the instructions manual before starting the unit.

Recommendations for use

To ensure the maximum efficiency and durability of the wood chipper,  the instructions below must be strictly followed. Failure to do so constitutes improper use and carries a serious risk of damage to the product (such damage is not covered by the warranty).

• DO NOT use the wood chipper to shred:

1. Pine needles
2. Grass or piles of leaves
3. Wet garden waste
4. Whole pallets or parts thereof
5. Construction waste
6. Wood and/or roots covered in soil or stones.

These materials, which lack a woody texture, tend to form a paste that blocks the shredding chamber and the discharge chute, overloading the engine. However, branches with leaves may be fed into the machine, provided they are preferably straight in shape.

• DO NOT feed in pallets or construction waste: ensure that the material contains no nails, screws, iron wire or concrete debris. Impact with foreign objects will irreparably damage the cutting rotor and may result in the violent ejection of metal fragments.
• DO NOT shred wood and/or roots covered in soil: the abrasive action of soil and sand on the cutting blades at high speed causes immediate wear. The cutting blade loses its sharpness within minutes, making extraordinary maintenance necessary. Furthermore, the likely presence of stones, even small ones, would inevitably damage the wood chipper.
• Pay attention to wood freshness: the specified maximum cutting diameter refers to ‘green’ wood, i.e. fresh branches recently cut from the tree (which is the ideal time to process them in the wood chipper) and of medium consistency. For very hard types of wood (e.g. oak, olive, plum, peach), the wood chipper’s actual cutting capacity may decrease proportionally to the hardness of the wood. Furthermore, the declared maximum cutting diameter should be considered as an exception  during use and not the standard operating conditions, as it would mean operating the wood chipper continuously at the limits of its capabilities.
• DO NOT shred dry or seasoned wood (e.g. old posts, beams, sticks): the wood chipper is designed to process freshly cut branches. Dry wood is significantly harder than fresh wood and can damage the cutting blades by creating nicks or causing them to lose their sharpness quickly, as well as placing severe strain on the transmission mechanism. 
• DO NOT feed material in when the engine is off or running at low revs: start the wood chipper and always bring it up to full speed before feeding in the material. Similarly, never switch off the engine while there is still material inside the cutting chamber.
• DO NOT FORCE THE FEED: the wood chipper must pull the material in automatically (self-feeding). If the branch does not advance, the blades may be worn or the branch may be too knotty. Forcing material into the hopper could cause the cutting rotor to jam and result in serious damage to the transmission.
• DO NOT operate the wood chipper with worn or damaged blades: under these conditions, shredding occurs by ‘impact’ rather than by ‘cutting’. The resulting strong vibrations and stresses can cause serious structural damage to all components of the wood chipper.
• Fuel storage:

1. Use approved tanks
2. Check that metal tanks are clean and free from corrosion
3. Store fuel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
4. Use the petrol within 30–60 days
5. If necessary, use a stabiliser to extend its shelf life

If the machine is to be left unused for a prolonged period, empty the fuel tank or use fuel containing a stabiliser additive.
