• Electric three-phase roller shredders : designed for intensive use in professional settings, the 400V three-phase motor and roller rotor allow the shredding of materials with a larger diameter, producing a medium wood chips.

A professional electric shredder is used to transform branches, pruning, leaves and vegetable waste into wood chips, reducing the volume of green processing residues. This type of machinery is particularly useful for those working in the field of green maintenance and for agricultural companies, nurseries and professional gardeners. The wood chips produced can be used in various ways: as composting material, mulching or even as fuel for biomass boilers.

The main uses of an electric chipper include:

• Pruning waste management : shredders transform branches and pruning into wood chips, facilitating their disposal or reuse.
• Preparation of compost: the wood chips produced by shredders are an excellent component for compost, as they promote the decomposition of organic materials.
• Mulching production : the wood chips can be distributed at the foot of plants to retain soil moisture, prevent weed growth and protect the roots from cold.
• Biomass boiler power : Fine wood chips produced by disc and hammer models can be used as fuel in boilers designed to work with wood materials.

These shredders are designed for those who need to shred large quantities of material. The single phase models are suitable for semi-professional use or in advanced domestic settings, while the three-phase models are ideal for intensive professional use where operational continuity and machine durability are key requirements.

The electric professional shredder uses a mechanical system to shred branches, pruning and vegetable waste, turning them into wood chips of varying sizes. The operation of these machines varies depending on the type of rotor and the feeding system. Professional models can process branches with a larger diameter than hobby models, ensuring greater efficiency and safe use even in tough conditions.

The main components of a professional electric chipper include:

• Electric motor: Chippers can have 230V single phase or 400V three-phase motors Single-phase motors are powered by the normal domestic network, while three-phase motors require an industrial electrical connection. The three-phase motors provide increased power and work continuity, making these models suitable for intensive use.
• Loading hopper : the hopper is the access point for introducing branches and plant material. In professional models, the hopper is large and made of steel, allowing the feed of bulky materials without the need for pre-cutting.
• Shredding rotor : the heart of the shredder is the rotor, which can be disc and hammer or roller. Hammer disc rotor provides fine grinding, while roller rotor provides coarser chips. Both systems are designed to quickly process input material.
• Exhaust duct: wood chips are ejected through an exhaust duct. In professional models, the conduit can be fixed or rotating. High ducts facilitate the unloading of material into containers or skips, making collection work more convenient.

1. Material input: The operator inserts branches and waste into the hopper.
2. Starting the engine: the shredder starts the electric motor, activating the internal rotor.
3. Shredding: the material is captured by the rotor and shredded into small fragments. The type of rotor affects the size of the wood chips produced.
4. Chip ejection : the chip is ejected through the exhaust duct. Depending on the model, the duct can be adjusted to direct material into a body or onto the ground.

The more advanced models come with useful accessories such as a safety button to stop the machine in case of emergency and the reverse system, which reverses the rotation of the rotor to prevent jamming.

Electric shredders offer many advantages over other solutions for the management of vegetable waste. Thanks to their advanced technical features, these machines save time and effort in handling waste, resulting in a higher quality wood chip. They also provide improved reliability and durability, even in the most demanding environments.

Here are the main advantages of professional electric shredders:

• Power supply : provides a lower environmental impact compared to combustion models.
• Higher cutting capacity : Professional models can handle branches with a larger diameter than hobby shredders. This allows larger materials to be processed and reduces the number of pre-cutting interventions.
• Superior quality wood chips : the disc and hammer chopping system produces a finer and more uniform wood chips, ideal for composting, mulching or biomass use. The roller rotor, on the other hand, produces a coarser wood chip, which is useful for those who prefer less shredded material.
• Robust and reliable construction : Professional electric chippers are made of high-quality materials, such as steel, which guarantees resistance to wear and impact. The robust construction allows you to work even hard materials without damaging the machine.
• Operational safety : the professional models are equipped with advanced safety systems, such as the emergency stop button and reverse function to prevent jams. This makes the use of the machine safer even in the event of errors or unforeseen events.

Professional electric chippers are characterised by a number of advanced technical features that determine their performance, durability and ease of use. Thanks to the possibility of filtering products on AgriEuro according to these specifications, you can choose the shredder that best suits your needs, optimising your plant waste management work.

Below is a list of the main technical features to consider when choosing a professional electric shredder:

The power supply of a professional electric shredder can be of two types: Single-phase or three-phase

• Single-phase: powered by 230V domestic power, it is ideal for those who use the bio-shredder in semi-professional contexts. These models offer a good compromise between performance and ease of use.
• Three-phase: powered by 400V three-phase current, it is designed for professional and continuous use. Three-phase shredders offer high performance, ideal for those who need to process large amounts of plant residue consistently.

The choice of power supply depends on the context of use and the production needs of the user.

The rotor is one of the main elements of the shredder. Determines the type of chopping and the size of the wood chips produced. There are two main types of rotors used in professional electric bio shredders:

• Roller Rotor : produces a medium wood chips, with 4-5 cm fragments. This type of rotor is ideal for those looking for coarser shredding, useful for mulching or biomass. It is particularly suitable for chopping harder wood materials and large branches.
• Disc rotor and hammers: allows for finer grinding, producing a wood chips with dimensions between 2 and 3 cm. The disc rotor is equipped with knives that make an initial cut, while articulated hammers complete the shredding. This system is suitable for those looking for a uniform wood chips, which can be used in composting or in biomass boilers.

The choice of rotor depends on the final use of the wood chips and the type of material to be crushed.

Electric chippers may be equipped with different accessories and features that improve the efficiency and safety of the machine:

• Sieve: allows even finer wood chips to be obtained, which is useful if the material is to be used in a pellet machine or for composting.
• Unified Hopper: allows both branches and green materials to be introduced without the need to divide the incoming material. This facilitates loading operations, making work quicker.
• Safety button: a safety device that allows the machine to be stopped immediately in an emergency. This accessory is essential to avoid accidents during use.
• Tow coupling : useful for moving the shredder, hooking it to a means of transport or a tractor. Facilitates machine transport over large surfaces.
• Reverse: this function reverses the rotation direction of the rotor in the event of sticking. It is especially useful to prevent work interruptions and to remove material stuck in the rotor.

Available accessories may vary depending on model and manufacturer.

The maximum cutting diameter indicates the size of the branches that can be inserted into the bio-shredder hopper without risk of damaging the machine. On professional models, the maximum cutting diameter can be up to 10-12 cm.

Why is this important?
A large cutting diameter allows large branches to be processed without pre-cutting them. It is always advisable to choose a shredder with a maximum cutting diameter that is greater than the average diameter of the branches you will be working on. This avoids bringing the machine to the limit of its capacity, ensuring a longer service life.

The size of the wood chips varies depending on the type of rotor used:

• Fine wood chips (2-3 cm): obtained with shredders with discs and hammers. It is ideal for composting, mulching or powering biomass boilers.
• Medium wood chips (4-5 cm): obtained with roller shedders. This type of wood chips is suitable for those who prefer a less granulated material, useful for mulching or for reducing the volume of waste.

The choice of the size of the wood chips depends on the final use of the ground material.

The power rating represents the maximum power absorbed by the chipper motor. A higher power rating makes it possible to process materials with larger diameters and to guarantee operational continuity even under severe conditions.

There are two important power figures:

• Rated Power (W): this is the power declared by the manufacturer, which is indicative of the maximum performance of the machine.
• Actual power : this is the power measured at the crankshaft, i.e. the power actually available during operation. The actual power is generally lower than the rated power.

Engine power directly influences the performance of the shredder and its ability to process hard or large diameter materials.

The drive is the system that connects the motor to the rotor. Two main types can be found in professional electric shredders:

• Belt drive : protects the machine in the event of overloading. If a foreign object (such as a branch that is too hard) enters the machine, the belt will slip, preventing damage to the mechanical parts. Belt drive is preferred for those who use the shredder intensively, as it provides greater protection to the machine.
• Coaxial direct drive : the motor is connected directly to the rotor. This type of transmission is simpler, but requires extra care to avoid overloading.

Choosing the compressor depends on the specific application and the type of tools to be used.

The exhaust duct allows the produced wood chips to be ejected. In professional models, the conduit can have several characteristics:

• High discharge : facilitates the discharge of the wood chips into containers or bins.
• Rotary discharge : allows you to direct the wood chips to specific points, making picking operations more convenient.
• High and rotating discharge : ideal for those who work in large areas or need to pick up wood chips in an orderly manner.

A well-designed exhaust pipe makes wood chipping work more convenient and efficient.

Self-propelled is about the way the chipper is moved and is particularly useful for those working in large areas or in agricultural contexts where the shredder needs to be moved frequently.

• Towed: equipped with a hook for transporting a vehicle, such as a tractor or a small vehicle.

Self-propelled shredders are particularly suitable for use in large areas or in agricultural settings where mobility is essential.

Choosing the most suitable electric chipper requires careful consideration. Here are the main things to consider when choosing the right chipper for your needs, based on the type of work you are doing, the size of the area you are handling, and your production needs.

• Type of work to be done: The choice of shredder depends on the type of material to be processed. For large branches and hard woods, you need a powerful model that can handle bulky materials. For green and soft waste, on the other hand, a chipper with discs and hammers ensures fine and even shredding.
• Size of the area to be processed: In large spaces it is important to choose a shredder that is easily transportable. Models equipped with tow hitch or self-propelled wheels allow the machine to move without fatigue. In addition, a high discharge makes it easier to pick up the wood chips in containers or bodies.
• Production needs: Quality and timing: Production requirements determine the type of wood chips desired and the processing speed. Disc and hammer shredders produce fine wood chips, ideal for composting or biomass, while roller models generate coarser wood chips. Three-phase models provide business continuity for those who need to work with large quantities of material in a short time.
• Technical characteristics to consider It is important to check the maximum cutting diameter of the shredder, which must be larger than the average size of the branches to be processed. The type of transmission is also crucial: belt drive protects the motor from overloading, while direct drive is simpler but less safe. Finally, the high, rotating exhaust duct makes it easier to discharge the wood chips and makes the work more practical.

By carefully evaluating these aspects, you can choose the right electric chipper for your needs, optimizing your plant waste management work.
