GeoTech Pro PCS 70 BS overview:
PCS: Professional Chipper Shredder, heavy-duty wood chipper
70: engine nominal power, 7.0 Hp (rated power, lower)
BS: Briggs & Stratton, stands for the engine brand.
The GeoTech Pro PCS 70 BS wood chipper is specifically designed for shredding operations on medium-sized branches. Ideal for all those who need to maintain green spaces and who need to quickly remove and grind biodegradable waste from the ground.
The PCS 70 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.
- 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 wood chippers are specifically intended for shredding medium and large-sized diameter branches (according to the max. cutting diameter indicated on each model). They are not suitable for small leaves and green material and small diameter branches.
NOT SUITABLE FOR SMALL BRANCHES ESPECIALLY OLIVE TREE 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);
