FBC BIO.S2.65A - Petrol garden Shredder - Loncin 6.5 HP engine

PROFESSIONAL machinery

The garden shredders reduce brushwood and twigs to a size that is easy to handle and suitable for composting. The crushing of the material reduces the time required for its decomposition.

Main features

Large-sized steel hopper, which is able to process even very bulky branches and leaves, without having to pre-shred them.

Thus, it also features a large capacity that allows entering large volumes of material at once.
It is clearly the largest and most capacious hopper among the shredders in its class.

Powerful petrol engine 190 cc
(6.5 HP)
Excellent cutting mechanism, highly efficient and productive, which distinguishes this product from all competitors. It consists of:

* no. 2 + 1 large, thick cutting blades (2 blades + counter-blade), mounted on a rotating steel disc at the end of the hopper. They pre-shred the woods inside the hopper by crushing it in rough pieces.

* no. 6 high-speed rotating hammers in hardened steel (they are located on the rear side of the above-mentioned blades, so they are not visible in the picture). They perform a centrifugal operation, reducing the material into small fragments

It has the largest cutting diameter of all hopper-type petrol shredders: MAX 50 mm (best competitors stop at 35-40 mm)
The discharge chute is equipped with a grid, which ensures that fragments are only ejected when finely ground by the hammers.

Equipped with the largest and sturdiest shredding chamber in its class. It is very wide and rounded in shape.
It guarantees excellent productivity as well as durability of the system.

The machine body and frame are 100 % made of steel. There is no plastic on this product
Discharge chute with adjustable direction

Large and sturdy rubber wheels

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.
