What is a wood chipper and what is it used for?
A wood chipper is a machine designed to shred plant waste such as branches, leaves, and pruning trimmings. Its main function is to reduce the volume of garden waste, making it easier to compost or transport. This equipment is ideal for keeping the garden clean, saving space, and generating natural compost that improves soil fertility.
At Brikum, we offer a wide range of wood chippers adapted to different uses: from small gardens to professional work on farms or agricultural areas.
Advantages of using a wood chipper
Using a wood chipper offers multiple benefits, both for individuals and garden maintenance professionals:
- Reduce waste: Convert bulky branches into easy-to-handle shredded material.
- Save space: considerably reduces the volume of plant waste.
- Facilitates composting: shredded material decomposes more quickly and evenly.
- Avoid burning or dumping: an ecological alternative to traditional waste disposal.
- Save time and effort: work quickly and without physical effort.
Electric wood chippers: compact and quiet
Electric wood chippers are perfect for home users who need an efficient tool for small or medium-sized gardens. They are lighter, quieter, and easier to maintain. They are electrically powered and offer good performance for shredding thin branches, leaves, and soft pruning debris.
Ideal for urban or residential areas, they are safe and practical to use. Some models include wheels, anti-jamming systems, and integrated bins for collecting shredded material.
Gasoline wood chippers: maximum power for large gardens
The gasoline-powered wood chipper is designed for more demanding jobs. It offers greater power, greater autonomy, and the ability to shred thicker branches or hard debris. Since it doesn't depend on electrical outlets, it can be used anywhere, even on farms without access to electricity.
It's the best choice for professional gardeners, owners of large plots of land, or those with intensive maintenance tasks. Although it requires more maintenance, its performance more than compensates for the high-volume jobs.
How to choose the right wood chipper
To choose the most suitable wood chipper for your needs, consider the following factors:
- Type of material to be shredded: If the material is soft branches and leaves, an electric shredder may be sufficient. For thick branches and hardwood, it's best to opt for a gasoline shredder.
- Cutting diameter: Check the maximum capacity of each model to ensure it can handle your pruning waste.
- Motor power: Determines the speed and efficiency of the shredding process. More power = better performance.
- Ease of transport: Models with wheels and handles make it easy to move around the garden.
