Discover the versatile and powerful bio-shredders and shredders from Machines De Schutter

Machines De Schutter (MDS) has been known for many decades for an extensive range of bio-shredders and wood chippers, among others, designed specifically for professional users. Garden contractors, green services and forest managers alike are looking for a machine that quickly and efficiently processes branches, leaves and other green waste into valuable mulch or compost material. Account manager Marco Luyten explains how MDS as a specialized distributor makes a difference, with a special mention for the NEGRI bio-shredder series R230.

"At Machines De Schutter, we offer a wide range of bio-shredders and shredders, all designed to meet the specific needs of different professional users," Luyten said. "For example, we have compact models perfect for smaller, more accessible sites, as well as larger, industrial machines suitable for heavy-duty applications. This diversity in our offering ensures that every professional will find the right machine to suit their specific requirements and working conditions."

A key strength of MDS' bio-shredders and shredders is their focus on safety and the environment. Says Luyten, "Many of our machines are equipped with advanced safety features that minimize the risk of accidents, such as emergency stop systems and secure feed compartments. In addition, the machines are designed to be energy efficient and have minimal impact on the environment, making them a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious professionals."

For the professional, the MDS team has for many years provided a trusted range of bio shredders and chippers from the Italian brand NEGRI. "In our range of shredders, you have the choice of machines with less power, for weeds and soft wood, for example, and heavier models for shredding (thick) branches of trees," Luyten confirms. "From the R95 series - with a capacity of 7 centimeters in diameter - to the R640 series with as many as 68 hammers that shreds branches up to 20 centimeters in diameter: the application possibilities are endless! Moreover, because shredding is done by means of a drum rotor equipped with blades and hammer bearings, this type of machine is less susceptible to damage than a conventional shredder."

Zooming in on the range of NEGRI shredders offered by MDS, Luyten points to the C13, C17 and C21 models, good for producing 2,000, 3,500 and 5,200 kilograms of garden waste per hour, respectively. "With capacities from 13 to 21 centimeters in diameter, you have a choice of three powerful tools to turn garden waste and branches into free compost material," says Luyten. "For every job we have the right machine at MDS."

One of the most notable series in the MDS offering is the NEGRI Bio-Shredder Series R230. Luyten explains, "This self-propelled shredder is ideal for processing organic garden waste. This machine features a large hydraulically driven and electronically controlled feed roller, which allows you to feed garden waste in a controlled and safe manner. All functions in this machine are controlled by a central electronic system that is user-friendly and gives you as an operator the necessary comfort and ease of use, thanks in part to a clear display and convenient functions."

Also good to know: "The NEGRI R230 bio-shredder has a reduced width and a folding ejector pipe. As a result, the machine fits through any door and takes up little space when transported. Thanks to the collapsible feed hopper, you can reduce the length of the bio-shredder to 186 centimeters during transport. You can also reduce the height to 153 centimeters, thanks to and easily collapsible ejector pipe."

Luyten concludes, "Despite its limited width, the NEGRI R230 Bio-Shredder is very stable thanks to its low center of gravity and intelligent hydraulic wheel drive that features a hydraulic differential and a metered setting that allows you to avoid brutal accelerations and decelerations. That way, you move this chipper across a lawn or other fragile terrain without damaging it. An absolute asset on projects with demanding customers!"
