October - November 2014 | Back

Two new bioshredders, the R95 and the R130 models, and the XL Series of log splitters are the chief products the Mantua manufacturer Negri S.r.l. is presenting at the upcoming EIMA International. The R95 bioshredder is a model designed  for a semi-professional end-user and is marketed with a three phase electric engine, gasoline engine or a tractor version with 3 point linkage. The R95 can handle small pieces of garden residues, hedge clippings and small pruned branches of a maximum diameter of 7 cm and comes equipped with a cutting group formed by a front cutting blade which enacts a first shredding, while 8 back mobile hammers refine it further by means of a mobile sieve. With the completion of shredding, the materials are discharged 116 cm from the ground through the discharge pipe. The belt transmission for the engine version and the transmission with flexible coupling for the tractor version make the R95 bioshredder especially safe even if material of excessive size is accidentally introduced. 5

The R130 bioshredder is a compact and robust machine designed for shredding small prunings and garden residues. Also this machine is equipped with a gasoline engine or an electric motor or for coupling to a cultivator and ensures maximum safety even under stress thanks to the very efficient transmission. The cutting system is 22 hammers and 2 hardened steel blades. The green residues introduced into the main hopper is shredded by the hammers up to a maximum diameter of 3 cm. Branches up to a maximum diameter of 6.5 cm can be fed to the second hopper placed on the side of the machine where the materials are first cut by the blades and then shredded by the hammers.

A mobile screen at the outlet of the R130 provides better refining of the minced material. Attention will also be trained on the XL log splitters, fast, reliable and safe machines suitable for private and professional use. The XL50-XL70-XL90 models are the telescopic traction type, extremely compact, easy to transport and available with splitting force from 5.5 to 10 tons.  The XL120-XL140-XL160 models are, on the other hand, vertical log splitters for more heavy duty work with splitting force from 12 to 16 tons. All the XL log splitters, available with differing types of power units, are equipped with levers for safely locking the log in the cradle, variable or removable table grates for splitting logs of varying length and sturdy wheels for facilitating transport of the machine.
