Weibang WBCH507LC - Petrol garden Shredder - 196cc Loncin Gasoline Engine

The Weibang WBCH507LC petrol garden shredder is a professional product designed for the disposal of branches and other residues. Thanks to special replaceable blades, organic waste can be turned into compost that is useful for both agriculture and gardens.

The machine is able to process even very bulky branches and leaves. This does not required to pre-shred them. Thus, it also features a large capacity that allows entering large volumes of material at once.

Cutting diameter: 50 mm

Thanks to the wheels and handles placed at the ends of the hopper, the displacement of the machine is simple and able to reduce the strain during the manual movement of the machine.

This petrol shredder is built following the logic of the large wood chipper, thus obtaining the best results in terms of cut, speed and reliability; it complies with CE regulations on safety at work.

This shredder model is powered by a Loncin 196 cc (4.1 kW) engine, which stands out to be both powerful and reliable.

The shredder is equipped with a safety system located into the opening of the grinding chamber.

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)

Shredders intended use:
- The shredder must grind only green branches and not dried ones (which would limit its shredding capacity and lead to rapid 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 hardwoods and can reduce the cutting capacity of the wood chipper)

Powerful petrol engine Loncin 196 cc

Features:

Nominal Power: 5.6 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.

Effective power: 4 Hp
It corresponds to the real power expressed motor shaft. This is the power indicated as official in the engine instructions manual.

WARNING!

The engine is PROVIDED WITHOUT OIL.
Make sure to carefully read the instructions manual before starting the unit.

Large-sized steel hopper, capable of receiving very large branches and fronds, without necessarily pre-processing. The large capacity allows you to enter a lot of material at once.

Focus on the hopper

The central rotor is composed of a steel disc.

Provided with 3 large blades

Fixed discharge chute (removable discharge chute accessory included).

This reinforced belt drive gives the machine an extremely great sturdiness, protecting both the engine and the internal shredding rotor from any kind of internal shocks or kickbacks.

If the rotor gets stuck, for example because of too big wood, stones, etc., there is no risk of breaking the transmission shaft and therefore irreparably damaging the engine, but there will be a slippage or at the most a breakage of the intermediate belt.

This ensures a much longer life than the traditional systems still used by all manufacturers on their wood chippers powered by a 4 or 2-stroke engine directly connected to the shredder.

Large wheels for easy transport

Supporting rubber foot

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.
