With two feed hoppers, the German brand "Könner & Söhnen®"'s KS 400WS orchard shredder for branches and grass effectively processes a variety of garden waste, including damp and dry branches as well as soft waste like grass, leaves, straw, and so on. This model has been highly anticipated by gardeners, farmers, and owners of private homes and household plots due to its adaptability and autonomous operation, as it does not require a mains supply.
Garden trash may be readily processed by the wood shredder into excellent compost or mulch for growing plants or mushrooms. The resultant chips can also be used as fuel in furnaces, fireplaces, solid fuel and pyrolysis boilers, and other heating appliances.
All European quality requirements, including the most recent EURO V emission standard, are satisfied by the dependable and high-performance K&S gasoline engines. Because every engine has a unique serial number, the production and servicing quality can be managed.
The loading of material to be shredded is made easier by a wide feed hopper, and wood waste up to 76 mm in diameter may be shredded by a strong cutting mechanism with two high-speed, hardened carbon steel blades.
Despite their weight, these machines are sturdy and simple to manage because to their low center of gravity and pneumatic wheels, which allow for effortless mobility even on uneven surfaces like gravel or soil.
The height at which the shredded material is ejected from the outlet hopper is adjustable.
A protection kit (safety gloves, ear muffs, and polycarbonate glasses) is included in the package.
