Hansa C13 9cm PTO Driven Wood Chipper

The Hansa C13 PTO (power take off) wood chipper is suitable for large estates, local authories, golf courses, contractors, farmers and orchadists in their quest to recycle valuable organic waste. Suitable coupled to any small tractor from 17hp to 45hp, simply hitch the chipper to your three-point linkage and run 540rpm to give you a machine that has the same capabilities as its engine-powered equivalent. 

The Hansa C13 will mulch your organic matter to produce the finest fertiliser in the form of compost in a matter of weeks, or for use as mulch to surpress weed growth and retain moisture in the soil.

Employing two cutting knives, the heavy duty C13 has the appetite to chip branch material (green or dry) up to 90mm thick. 

With the Hansa C13 no pre-cutting is necessary and the branches are drawn into the input chute. The cutting blades shear the material against an adjustable hardened counterknife, or anvil. This action will be just as efficient in 10 years' time as on the first day of use, so long as the knives are kept sharp.

The extremely efficient self-feeding action can be attributed to the design of the rotor and the blade set up. The inertia generated by the large rotor disk creates sufficient momentum to continue cutting, as well as providing enough of draught to discharge the mulch up to 4 metres away. The distance can be moved closer to the operating area, if desired, by adjusting the deflector on the chute. Having a discharge height of 1.2 metres makes the C13 model ideal for discharging onto a trailer, wheelbarrow or stockpile, eliminating the need for any double handling of the material.

Access to blades and clearing of the cutting chamber is simple - a few turns of the wingnut and everything is accessible within seconds. The blades are individually adjustable, eliminating the need for angle adjustment and allowing optimal clearance. The blades can last anywhere up to 30 hours before requiring sharpening, depending on the type of material being handled. 

The C13 housing is constructed from 5mm steel plate with a quality powder-coated finish (media-blasted surface for excellent adhesion), which provides the strength and resilience that means this machine will last you a lifetime.
