ELIET SHREDDERS

Let The Wood Do The Work

Let us straightaway get rid of a potential preconception:
Eliet's patented chopping technique is not based on engine power. "The higher the engine power the better the shredder" is a widely believed fallacy. In fact, Eliet subscribes to the opposite point of view. Only if an engine needs less power to achieve similar results can it be considered a good machine. Eliet knows how to make maximum use of the available engine power.

What is the best way to finely chop wood without expending too much energy? Just think of how you yourself chop up a block of wood. If you wildly start chopping at a block of wood and put in enough blood, sweat and tears, you ultimately get the job done. But if you hit the block with a single well-aimed blow in the same direction as the fibres, it will largely split itself. In short, the wood does the work for you. This is the method used by Eliet shredders. The knives chop the branches like axes and split them in the same direction as the fibres. The chips are chopped up further until they are small enough to fall through a sieve. Because the machine needs less power, the drawbacks of shredding are reduced to a complete minimum. Which in turn results in....

reduced consumption
less vibrations
reduced wear rate
noise reduction

Belt drive

The knife drum of the Minor has double bearings and is belt driven. This construction places the Minor in a class of its own in comparison with the smaller ELIET chippers. The separate bearings for the rotor enhance the durability of the chipper. Moreover, this construction is better equipped when it is subjected to heavy duty cycles. The transmission also absorbs the dynamic forces and increases the drive torque to the knife drum.

Straightforward Infeed

The Eliet shredders have a large shredding surface which extends the entire feed-in width. Most other wood chippers have a funnel-shaped feed-in opening that has a large feed-in surface, but only a small shredding surface. It is self-evident that the operating speed of the chipper depends for 50% on the ability to feed in more easily. This is yet another advantage of using an ELIET machine.

Biotech Chips

The Chopping Principle unique to Eliet squashes and unravels the chips intensely. As a result the grain structure of these Eliet 'Biotech' chips is well suited to decomposition. Once chipping is complete you'll have a good, airy mixture with just the right moisture content. That why Biotech chips improve your composting system.

Flexibility

Thanks to the Chopping Principle, the ELIET shredders are equipped with an extremely versatile chopping system. Many different types and shapes of garden waste can be easily processed, including:

Leafy hedge trimmings

Damp leafy garden waste

Ground cover plants

Climbing plants

Reed-like plants

Flower trimmings

Woody trimmings: fruit trees

Fir-like: (conifers, pine trees, etc.)

Leaves

Each day, gardeners are confronted with each type of the above-mentioned garden waste. The Eliet shredder will simply go ahead and chop everything into uniform, fine chippings that are nice to look at and that can be easily used as organic matter in the garden. The chippings are extremely suitable for composting thanks to the way in which they are chopped.
