• LE LOncin Electric, it indicates the kind of engine and the type of starting, in this case electric

The GeoTech Pro PCS 160LE PRO shredder or chipper is designed for those jobs of grinding branches and medium and large in diameter logs, reducing the volume of waste up to 5/6 times . It is recommended for all those forestry companies and maintenance of public parks that need to remove and grind quickly biodegradable waste. It is provided with a towing hitch, which allows the transport by any means. It is also equipped with the modern electrical safety devices which meet the EC standards.

The strengths of the GeoTech Pro PCS PRO 160LE are:

• Sturdiness thanks to the system with steel rotor.
• Cutting diameter: (Reaches without problems 100 mm on green wood, not dry, compared to 80 mm max that are typically used wood chippers combustion);
• Exceptional work capacity , it may face intense and demanding work sessions also constantly grinding large diameter timber at a professional level
• High hourly productivity, well over the classical petrol wood chippers with rotor blades and hammers (can achieve a 4/6 cbm/h productivity)

Limitations: the final dimensions of the wood chips are higher than the average for the lack of centrifugation hammers. The shredder produces fragments of about 4-5 cm and is not suitable to the grinding of leaves or other green material of small dimensions. These wood chippers are specific for chipping of branches of medium and large diameter (compatibly with the maximum cutting diameter indicated on each model), not suitable for small leaves and green material, and less suitable for small diameter branches.

It can also be used for the grinding of the palm tree.

Warning: Like all wood chippers and chipper, it is not suited for the shredding of grass, leaves, pine needles, etc.… (It is made to shred branches, but it can grind the leaves, needles and certain other vegetation may be attached to them)

Main user requirements for all the shredders on the market:
– The shredder must grind recently cut branches from the tree, not dried (they would limit the shredding capacity and lead to a rapid deterioration of the blade);
– The branches must be preferably long-limbed, smooth and not lumpy (otherwise the cutting diameter is reduced);
– The diameter of said cut is the maximum, so it is advised not to try and shred larger branches. In that case it would be preferable to evaluate the purchase of a shredder with a larger cutting diameter;
– The cutting diameter can vary according to the amounts of the wood (e.g: oak, olive, plum and peach are hardwoods and can reduce the cutting ability of the wood chipper)
