GeoTech BGS 6500 - Petrol garden shredder - Loncin 5 HP engine

GeoTech BGS 6500 garden shredder overview:

B: Basket (equipped with wood chips collector)
G: Gasoline (the machine is petrol-powered)
S: Shredder (wood chipper)

The GeoTech BGS 6500 wood chipper is made specifically for shredding operations on branches featuring medium diameter. Ideal for all those who need to maintain green spaces and who need to quickly remove and grind biodegradable waste from the ground.

This garden shredder is designed to be the most effective and user-friendly among wood chippers. Its large steel shredding chamber helps reducing noise while operating.

The BGS 6500 model is equipped with electric safety devices in compliance with the CE standards.

Major strengths of this machine:

• Sturdiness, thanks to the system with steel rotor which ensures a long service life.
• Cutting diameter (up to 45 mm on green, non-dry wood)
• Large hopper.

Warning: Like all wood chippers and garden shredders, it is not suited for shredding grass, leaves, pine needles, etc. (it is intended to shred branches, but it can also grind leaves, needles and others)

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 petrol engine mounted on this garden shredder features a 3.6 kW of power (5 Hp). It runs at 3600 rpm.

This powerful engine allows chipping wood avoiding clogs ensuring a shredding capacity of up to 600 kg/h.

INTERMEDIATE BELT DRIVE:
This feature gives high sturdiness to the unit, protecting both the engine and all the shredding system from every possible internal hit or kickback. Higher durability over time compared to the standard system of all the manufacturers of petrol-powered machineries, as the transmission is directly connected to the shredding cutting system.

Nominal power: 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: 4 Hp
It refers to the real power of the engine. This is the power indicated as official in the engine instructions manual.

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

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

Large and highly-thick 2 shredding blades are mounted on a steel rotating roller.

This ensures producing high-quality wood chips with a shredding capacity of up to 600 kg/h. Always make sure not to overload the machine with branches and twigs as this tends to clog the shredder and overload it.

The rotor is sturdy and entirely made of steel.

If you need to change or clean the blades, you can open the shredding chamber using the knob.

Focus on the shredding chamber.

This machine features a highly-efficient self-feeding shredding system.

The garden shredder is equipped with a large 34 cm hopper. Simply enter branches and the machine will operate itself. This considerably simplifies and speeds up the work.

The best results are achieved when shredding branches together with green material, as the twigs help to push the leaves into the machine.

If you only need to shred leaves, we recommend using a stick to push them through the safety bristles at the bottom of the plastic hopper.

WARNING: This shredder can be used for shredding material with a maximum diameter of 45 cm. Check the size of the branch using the diameter gauge before inserting it into the wood chipper.

SELF-FEEDING: once introduced the branches into the hopper, the shredder draws them inside the shredding chamber autonomously.

This shredder allows you to collect the wood chips into a large 45 L collector or by dropping them on the ground (without the collector).

Equipped with a handle and wheels for easy transport.

On/Off button.

Branch diameter gauge.

Thefront support stand is very large and provides stability to the machine. This allows to distribute the weight over a greater surface area, thus preventing the garden shredder sinking into soft grounds.

The wood chipper is also provided with large 25 cm wheels that ensure easy transport.
