GeoTech GS70 - Petrol garden shredder - Loncin 7 hp gasoline engine

The Geotech GS70 garden shredder is intended for crushing dung and twigs to an easy-to-handle overall size suitable for composting. Shredding operations also allow reducing the material decomposing time.

The Geotech GS70 petrol wood chipper is provided with dual hopper.

The main hopper is mostly intended for large twigs as well as green material or small-sized branches up to 10 mm diameter. It is large and allows processing high volumes and quantities of material simultaneously.

*It is not recommended to shred grass and leaves alone, without any small branches because this model is not equipped with self-feeding system.

The second hopper of the Geotech GS70 wood chipper can be only used for shredding branches up to 7.6 cm maximum diameter.

The Geotech GS70 garden shredder is powered by a 210 cc petrol engine featuring 7 Hp. The shredding unit consists of 2 blades, 8 hammers and 8 knives.

The main body is entirely made of steel except for the toolbox.

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)

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);

Features:

Latest-technology Loncin 4-stroke petrol engine with overhead valve "OHV".

The front handle also acts as a protection for the engine as it covers the side of the machine that reaches the highest temperature.

Nominal power: 7 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.
Rated power: 5.5 Hp
It refers to the real power of the engine. This is the power indicated as official in the engine instructions manual.

* This technical feature may vary from a an engine model to another according to the rotation speed provided by the manufacturer.

WARNING!

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

The machine is provided with centrifugal clutch. It is important to let the engine running at high speed in order to ensure a proper functioning.

The only one of the category with intermediate belt drive transmission.

This feature gives high sturdiness to the unit, protecting both the engine and all the shredding system from every possible internal hit or kickback.

Higher durability over time compared to the standard system of all the manufacturers of petrol-powered machineries, as the transmission is directly connected to the shredding cutting system.

The shredder is equipped with a dual-hopper system.

The main hopper is mostly intended for large branches as well as for shredding small-sized branches (up to Max. 10 mm diameter) and green material.

The hopper transverse opening is 33 cm: this important features allows easily entering large volumes of material into the hopper simultaneously.

The hopper (specific for branch processing) with larger diameter allows processing branches up to 7.6 cm diameter.

The hopper intended for shredding branches has been specifically designed to enhance the Operator’s safety thanks to its improved length as it keeps the user far from the cutting blades of the shredder.

Excellent cutting system, resulting in high performance and productivity: 2 blades + 8 hammers + 8 knives

Large and highly-thick 2 shredding blades mounted on a large spinning steel plate. They pre-shred the wood into the hopper reducing it in coarse wood chips.

No. 8 triangle-shaped hammers, high-speed rotating hammers made of hardened steel. They perform a centrifugal operation, reducing the material into smaller wood chips.

No. 8 rectangular-shaped knives made of steel and rotating at high speed. Thanks to their centrifugal motion they shred the branches already shredded by the 2 blades in small wood chips.

Equipped with a sieve that holds the material until it has been finely shredded.

The protective grid prevents access to the inside of the machine, and can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance.

This shredder model is almost the only machinery with the discharge opening provided with grid, which allows that the shredded material will be exclusively discharged once perfectly shredded by the hammers.

2 convenient handles for transport: one rear high handle and one front handle, useful for storage.

Large pneumatic wheels.

New reinforced support leg with anti-vibration and non-slip rubbers.

Convenient toolbox made of hard plastic.
