gasoline

Overview
The ARPAL MAX wood shredder is a professional tractor-mounted chipper designed for processing branches and wood waste up to 180 mm in diameter. Equipped with the Antistress electronic control, TurboCut heavy flywheel disc and hardened LineCut/CircleCut blades, it delivers continuous throughput for forestry contractors, municipal services and arborists while meeting EU safety standards.

Key features

• Antistress electronic control: monitors cutting disc RPM and automatically stops or reverses feed to prevent jamming and protect the drive.
• TurboCut flywheel disc (730 mm, 30 mm thick): high mass and diameter ensure stable cutting and chip ejection.
• LineCut / CircleCut hardened blades (AISI 4140 / AISI 5140, HFC induction-hardened edge) for impact resistance and long life.
• Adjustable counter-blade for secure branch fixation and uniform chip size without crushing.
• 360° adjustable discharge chute with deflector for precise chip placement and high ejection height.
• Reinforced hopper and safety guards to prevent accidental contact and withstand heavy-duty use.
• Rigid transport frame with universal hitch; supports tractor–chipper–trailer configurations.
• Powder-coated finish for extended corrosion protection.
