The Geotech PC S50 L roller shredder, in addition to its main pressing and crushing mechanism, also integrates two cutting blades. These blades are used to ensure that vegetable waste, especially the most fibrous and resistant, is effectively reduced into smaller pieces. While the material is introduced into the machine through a hopper located at the top, the blades begin their cutting work, preparing the waste for the next crushing step through the roller.
This combined cutting and crushing mechanism ensures that the shredder is effective on a wide range of materials, from the hardest and driest branches to the wettest leaves and green materials. The inclusion of cutting blades not only increases the overall efficiency of the machine, but also helps to reduce the risk of clogging, especially when dealing with larger or knotty branches.
The Geotech PCS50L roller shredder is ideal for those looking for an efficient and quiet solution, especially if the majority of the waste to be treated is composed of green or slightly woody material.
Major strengths of this machine:
- Sturdiness thanks to the system with steel rotor.
- Cutting diameter (it allows easily shredding up to 65 mm diameter branches, while standard shredders featuring the same power can cut branches up to max. 50/60 mm) - However, large-diameter branches with more than 50 mm diameter have to be entered in the hopper slowly.
- Exceptional working capacity, it can carry out intense and demanding operations even when constantly grinding large diameter wood.
- High hourly output, over the standard petrol wood chippers consisting of rotor with blades and hammers (it can reach 2.5/4 mc/h).
Limitations: the final size of the wood chips is larger than average due to the lack of centrifugal hammers. These shredders are specifically for chipping medium and large diameter branches (subject to the maximum cutting diameter indicated on each model), not suitable for leaves and small green material, and not very suitable for small diameter branches.
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)
