The Wortex Drake D300/70E garden shredder is equipped with a single-phase electric motor featuring 3 Hp of power.
It allows cutting branches with a 60 mm max. diameter. The cutting system consists of a roller equipped with two 150 mm blades and a counter-blade.
Specifically intended for shredding branches and medium-sized diameter logs. Ideal for all those who need to maintain green spaces and who need to quickly remove and grind biodegradable waste from the ground.
Major strengths of this machine:
- Sturdiness, thanks to the system with steel rotor which ensures a long service life.
- Cutting diameter (up to 60 mm on green wood, not dry).
- Single hopper: the only electric shredder equipped with a hopper that can be opened, allowing easy removal of clogs and making inspections much easier.
Limitations: the final size of the wood chips is larger than average due to the lack of centrifugal hammers.
Warning: Like all wood chippers and garden shredders, it is not suitable for shredding grass, leaves, pine needles, etc.… (it is designed to shred branches, but it can also grind the leaves, needles and other vegetation that may be attached to them).
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);
