Electric Garden Shredders for Home Use | Roller Shredders

Electric hobby roller shredders are an effective solution for reducing the volume of pruning waste produced in your garden. Powered by the classic 230V single phase current, these devices grind dry and woody branches into wood chips that can be used as mulching or composting. The special feature of the roller system is that it works more quietly than disc models, resulting in less noise impact.

Roller shredders are designed for those who need an easy-to-use tool for household waste management, but with an efficiency suitable for those with a small garden. They require little maintenance and offer a good compromise between performance and cost.

The electric roller shredder is used to reduce the volume of vegetable waste produced when pruning trees, hedges and shrubs. The machine crushes woody branches into wood chips of varying sizes, which can be reused for different applications.

Here are the main functions performed by a roller shredder:

• Waste reduction : the shredded branches take up less space than whole vegetable waste, facilitating disposal or composting.
• Production of wood chips for mulching: the resulting material can be used to cover the soil, reducing weed growth and maintaining soil moisture.
• Preparation of compost: the wood chips produced can be integrated into the domestic compost to create a natural fertilizer.

These bio-shredders are particularly useful in households where wood waste accounts for a significant part of green waste. They are ideal for those who own a small garden with ornamental or fruit trees , as they allow the waste to be reused sustainably without having to transport it to landfill.

The electric roller shredder uses a shredding system based on a toothed roller that rotates at low speed and shatters the branches by pushing them against an adjustable counter plate. This mechanism allows for progressive and consistent chopping, reducing the risk of blocking and producing a homogeneous wood chip. The operation consists of the following steps:

1. Inserting material into the hopper. Wood waste is fed into the upper hopper. The toothed roller automatically hooks the branches and pulls them into the machine, avoiding the need to manually push the material.
2. Roller shredding system. The roller, made of steel, pinches and breaks branches against an adjustable counter plate. This process makes it possible to produce wood chips between 4 and 5 cm in size, ideal for domestic use as mulch.
3. Discharge of the wood chips: The crushed material is ejected through the exhaust duct, which can be fixed or height-adjustable.

Roller shredders are designed to work mainly on dry and woody branches. However, they are not suitable for the shredding of fresh vegetation, such as leaves and grass, which tends to clog the shredding system.

Electric roller shredders offer several advantages over other shredding systems on the market. The roller mechanism allows quieter and more efficient work , especially for those who need to manage wood waste in the home. Compared to disc models, they provide less maintenance and longer service life of mechanical parts.

• Noise reduction. The roller system operates at low speed, significantly reducing the noise level compared to disc shredders, making it ideal for use in residential settings.
• Reduced risk of jamming. The Reverse function allows the direction of rotation of the roller to be reversed in the event of a blockage, quickly resolving any problems without having to dismantle the machine.
• Low maintenance: The toothed roller maintains sharpness longer than disc shredder blades, reducing maintenance.
• Production of medium quality chips. Roller shredders produce a homogeneous wood chips from 4 to 5 cm, perfect for mulching or composting.
• Automatic branch management. The automatic drive system reduces operator fatigue by not having to manually push branches into the machine.

Electric roller shredders have specific technical characteristics that make them suitable for domestic hobby use. These details directly affect the machine's performance and ability to work with different types of wood materials.

• Rotor type: The roller rotor crushes and breaks the branches against an adjustable backplate, producing a medium-sized wood chips of approximately 4-5 cm.
• Reverse function: This function reverses the rotation direction of the roller, preventing jamming when material gets stuck inside the machine.
• Max. cutting diameter: Indicates the diameter of the branches that can be fed into the hopper. It is advisable to choose a shredder with a cutting diameter larger than the branches that will be worked on, thus avoiding working at the limit of the machine's capacity.
• Size of the wood chips: The wood chips produced have an average size of approximately 4-5 cm, making them ideal for mulching or domestic composting.
• Rated power (W): The power rating indicates the maximum power consumption of the machine. The actual power, on the other hand, is lower and corresponds to the power transmitted to the crankshaft, affecting the actual shredding capacities.
• Transmission type: The drive is direct and coaxial, which means that the power generated by the motor is transferred directly to the roller without significant mechanical losses.
• Exhaust duct: The exhaust duct can be fixed or movable. In models with a higher duct it is possible to discharge wood chips directly into containers or skips, simplifying collection operations.
