The machines from the SAUERBURGER – Mulcher – Production “Made in Germany” are designed for highest area performances. All plant residues, whether corn, straw, millet or green manure, are chopped extremely short, not only cutting the stems but also shredding them. This promotes rapid decomposition and humus formation, effectively helping to improve arable soils. Pests such as corn borers, which overwinter in the plants, are also intensively controlled.
The shredders have a high inlet opening, as well as a particularly sophisticated shape of the housing, which is wedge-shaped in order to achieve the best shredding effect and large area output. This is also helped by the large rotor diameter with the specially shaped tools. The shredded material is distributed evenly over a wide area and can be incorporated without difficulty. Inside the housing there are counter-blades which contribute to a high crushing effect. The depth control of the machines is adjusted via support roller (copies uneven ground better) or on request with large support wheels. A robust gearbox and large-dimension V-belt drives with automatic tensioning devices transmit the drive force to the rotor shaft. To reduce wear in stony soils or high area outputs, additional baffle plates can be optionally installed in the housing. They form a buffer between the rotor and the housing and can be replaced after appropriate wear.
