Flowing electric garden - how to choose and what to look for

At any suburban or adjoining plot of land is always going to various types of garbage in the form of fallen leaves, branches trimmed or mown vegetation.How to dispose of it?On the one hand - a simple issue and solved it, usually with the help of the stove.

But if you approach it from the point of view of prudent master?For such a person everything goes to the cause."Woody" garbage - not that other, as excellent, and it is absolutely free, organic fertilizer, so whether or not to destroy it?If it is appropriately processed, the "product" can be used as a mulch, which provides protection against ground weeds and drying;as a natural additive introduced into the soil in order to improve productivity;used in the preparation of compost.It turns out that the purchase of a device such as an electric garden shredder to get rid of many worries and will bring only benefits.

device shredder

Not knowing this and do not understand the principle of functioning of the mechanism to assess fully all its qualities is impossible.In simplified form, it can be described as - a container (usually on a frame with wheels), which is located inside the cutting mechanism at least + 2 holes (input and output).If you specify that in fact, this is a big chopper (not loaded meat, and wood waste), the principle of action will be clear even to a woman - a perfect analogy.

Selection Criteria

It is possible to argue for a long time, since each of us has their own priorities.But there is a certain set of characteristics for which it is necessary to pay attention when choosing a shredder.Everything else - is an amateur.By the way, among his "brothers" electric models - the most convenient for the private sector (compact, affordable price, and the like).

Engine power

Experts recommend products on this parameter "average" category.Powerful shredders can handle a fairly thick branches, but they are often in the garbage?After pruning is done every year, and if so will fall, it will go and on the wood.Those who believe that the more powerful the better, it should be recalled that in addition to increased noise and power consumption mechanisms such shredders heat faster.

Consequently, such devices need to periodically stop and wait until the engine cools down?Conveniently?Of course, there are models with forced cooling, but who agree to lay out a tidy sum for such a "heaped" garden "grinder"?

A better option - the unit for 2-2,5 kW .It is quite cope with small branches (up to 40 mm), not to mention the grass or leaves.The working elements in such devices are mills.We will understand the difference.

Execution cutter

• knife system (disk) .The weakest design that allows you to work with a soft feed.Large or dry (solid) branch quickly blunt knife (which is 2 or more), or break the drive.Hence - the use of a limited, only for fine dust.
• milling system .More reliable mechanism with which the samples can be milled to 4 cm in the cross section.Convenience is that "capturing" one end of the branch, cutting themselves gradually drawn into the whole mass, without human intervention.In other words - loaded and went about his business.But there is a "minus" - quality processing of fine materials is poor.

It should be added that the presence of adjusting the fractions and removed the ability to reverse this problem.But the cost of such models above.

Funnel

The shape - truncated pyramid (or cone), only inverted.Clearly, the more its base (receiving hole), so it is more convenient to make loading garbage.

There are some additional nuances, such as a removable hopper for collecting the finished product, method of attachment, the presence of means for pushing debris and several others.But this is particular.What

consider

Any costs must be justified.It makes no sense to overpay for something that does not really even need to practice or not what is possible to do.So, what other criteria should be kept in mind when choosing a shredder:

• What raw materials will have to work?
• 2 inlets (for large and small debris) will greatly increase the speed of its processing.
• Mobility installation.To carry shredder on wheels more comfortable than drag from place to place.
• presence of security (protection).What is work?
• Accessories.What is included with the product, whether it is possible to buy at retail, and so on?
• Support.Who carries it, which is a service organization?
• manufacturer warranty.

cost

Given the large range of shredders and from different manufacturers, the price range is quite wide.But for the private sector should be fine cost of the device is not more than 14 000 rubles .Here only one example of the average, not an advertisement.

CHAMPION

Chinese model series «SH250» with a weight of 15 kg is characterized by a 2.5 kW (with a frame on wheels).The knives are made of hardened steel, there is a device to minimize vibration.lock system eliminates accidental start mechanism.

Estimated price - 8150 rubles.
