- Composting: the wood chips produced accelerate the decomposition of organic materials, facilitating the creation of a nutrient-rich compost for the soil.
- Mulching: the wood chips protect the soil from moisture loss, prevent weed growth and reduce surface erosion, improving the quality of the soil.
- Pellet production : Advanced shredders produce materials suitable for pelletizing, which can be used for domestic heating in an environmentally friendly way.
- Green waste management : allows the disposal of large quantities of organic waste in a practical and sustainable way, reducing the need for transport and delivery to collection centres.
Thanks to their practicality, electric grinders can be used both in domestic contexts, such as small gardens, and in professional environments for the maintenance of parks and green areas. The choice of model varies according to specific needs, such as the type and volume of material to be treated, ensuring solutions to different operational needs
Tips for safe and efficient use of the electric chipper
The use of the shredder is simple, but following certain guidelines is essential to ensure safety and efficiency during the operation.
- Stable positioning : make sure that the machine is on a flat and stable surface to prevent unwanted movement.
- Gradual insertion : introduce branches and leaves in a gradual manner to prevent overloads that could impair operation.
- Personal protection : wear strong gloves and protective goggles to protect against flying debris or material.
- Post-use cleaning : Remove organic build-up in the machine after use to maintain high efficiency.
By following these steps, you can extend the life of your machine and maintain consistent machine performance.

Technical characteristics of Electric Shredders
The electric shredders available on AgriEuro can be chosen according to different technical characteristics , which allow you to find the model that best suits your needs. Key parameters to consider include:
- Power supply: the models can be powered by single-phase (230V), three-phase (400V) or batteries.
- Rotor type : Rotors can be roller, disc or hammer disc. The roller rotor is suitable for coarser wood chips production.
- Accessories and features: these include options such as the sieve for further chopping of chips, which is useful for preparing chips for composting.
- Maximum cutting diameter : this value indicates the machine's ability to treat branches of a certain diameter.
- Nominal power : the Nominal power indicates the energy that the electric motor can provide to the cutting system.
- Exhaust duct : available in a fixed or swivelling version.
Power supply
The power supply of electric chippers can be of three main types, each with distinct advantages:
- Single-phase current (230V): ideal for domestic use due to compatibility with standard sockets.
- Three-phase current (400V): offers more power, perfect for intensive professional use.
- Rechargeable batteries : they guarantee freedom of movement and zero emissions, ideal for places without direct access to the mains.
The choice of power supply depends on the context of use and the frequency of operations.
Rotor type
The shredding system varies depending on the type of rotor used:
- Roller Rotor : suitable for coarse wood chips production, ideal for mulching.
- Disc Rotor : produces medium-sized wood chips, perfect for composting.
- Hammer disc rotor : allows finer grinding, excellent for uniform material.
Each rotor is designed to handle specific operating needs and different material types.
Accessories and features:
Electric shredders may include various accessories to enhance the user experience:
- Sieve: useful for further chopping of the chips to make them more homogeneous.
- Unified Hopper : simplifies material insertion, increasing operational efficiency.
