GeoTech-Pro BMS155 BS - Self-propelled track-mounted garden shredder on wheelbarrow - B&S XR2100 engine

GeoTech-Pro BMS 155 BS power barrow - garden shredder overview:

BMS: Barrow Modular Shredder, wood chipper on tracked power barrow

155: stands for the engine power, 15.5 Hp

BS: Briggs & Stratton, stands for the brand of the engine equipped with electric start.

The GeoTech Pro BMS 155 BS shredder or wood chipper is specifically designed for shredding medium and large-sized branches and small logs reducing their volume up to 5/6 times.

The wood chipper is mounted on a tracked engine unit, also compatible with the power barrow unit supplied.

This will allow you to convert your movable shredder into a practical tracked barrow with a tiltable barrow for transporting shredded material or loads up to 300 Kg.

It is ideal both for private users who need a mobile and versatile tool, and for forestry and public green maintenance companies who need to quickly remove and grind biodegradable waste from the ground.

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);

Major strengths of this machine:

• Sturdiness thanks to the system with steel rotor.
• Cutting diameter (easily reaches 90 mm on green wood, not dry, compared to the 80 mm max. cutting diameter reached by petrol garden shredders);
• Exceptional working capacity, it can carry out intense and demanding operations even when constantly grinding large diameter wood.
• High hourly output, over the standard petrol wood chippers consisting of rotor with blades and hammers (it can reach 4/6 mc/h).

Limitations: the final size of the wood chips is larger than average due to the lack of centrifugal hammers. These wood chippers are specifically intended for shredding medium and large-sized diameter branches (according to the max. cutting diameter indicated on each model). They are not suitable for small leaves and green material and small diameter branches.

It can also be used for grinding palm trees.

The Briggs & Stratton Series 950 engine guarantees high performances, and it is suitable for works requiring high power, thanks to the 208 cc.

Features:

Latest generation 4-stroke engine (overhead valve shaft OHV) and automatic decompression start system.
Easy recoil starter thanks to the automatic fuel priming system.

WARNING!
The engine is PROVIDED WITHOUT OIL.
Please carefully read the instruction manual before starting the unit.

Nominal power: 7.5 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: 5.83 Hp (at 2600 rpm)
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 an engine model to another according to the rotation speed provided by the manufacturer.

The garden shredder is powered by a powerful Briggs & Stratton XR2100 4-stroke air-cooled engine 420 cc, with overhead valves and aluminium cylinder.

Features:

The engine of this shredder is also equipped with electric start. This machine is equipped with battery.

User-friendly and ergonomic controls offering high control and precision during use.

Large red lever for motion engagement.

The machine is provided with two lower levers for steering, respectively on the right and on the left.

The steering can be adjusted depending on the control lever and it allows moving smoothly. By partially pulling either lever, the steering of the respective track, right or left, will also be partial.

This allows the steering of the wheelbarrow in an extremely easy way, without causing any sudden movements.

Safety brake that allows the Operator to immediately stop the machine.

Throttle lever and on/off switch.

It is the only machine of its category with intermediate double 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 transmission is also equipped with special centrifugal clutch.

Focus on the protection cover with dual ventilation air intake.

Large and highly-thick 2 shredding blades mounted on a steel spinning rotor.

The dual blade system also includes a counter-blade placed in the shredding chamber.

This ensures high-quality wood chips with a hourly output varying from 4 to 6 mc/h.

Inner blade-holder rotor with shaft made by balancing operation.

All roller shredders like this one allow high performance by entering leafless and cleaned branches (not thick and with too twigs);
they are ideal for quite large branches and not for many thin or green branches featuring many twigs; this is because the roller system is technically unsuitable for grinding small diameters branches, or green material in general, while they really give their best with larger branches.
This is due to their less "centrifugal" power compared to standard disc and blade models, and to the "greater distance between blade and counter-blade", designed for single branches that are already well cleaned but with a large diameter.

Adjustable discharge chute, 1.5 m from the ground, equipped with adjustable-tilting deflector .

It allows discharging the wood chips directly into a box.

Further to the deflector tilt, it is also possible to adjust the discharge chute: indeed it can rotate and simply adjusted either to right or left by manually loosening or tightening the proper knobs.
