FIELD OF APPLICATION

Th e machine is designed to crush garden waste including tree
and bush cuttings, dead fl owers etc. For branches thicker than
40 mm in diameter, use the side infeed opening. Th e maximum
diameter of branch which the machine can process is 60 mm.
Th anks to the shredding process, the chopped waste material
transforms into compost much more quickly than it would in
its natural state.
Th e consistency of the shredded material is determined by
an adjustable screen which, in the event of overload, opens
automatically and expels the excess material.
CAUTION -If its consistency is not too fi ne, the waste
material favours the essential supply of oxygen.
