Shredding on the golf course

Golf clubs have a large acreage to maintain. From their passion for grass, the lion's share of greenkeepers' attention goes to the lawn. However, a golf course only acquires real character when the sloping grass areas are harmoniously interspersed with ponds, bushes and green screens of various shrubs and ornamental grasses. As a result, the reel mowers must give way to the pruning shears. 

Greenkeepers are confronted with a large amount of green waste after their pruning work. The question of what to do with this trimmings always arises. Taking the trimmings to a central pile is very time-consuming, puts an extra burden on the greenkeepers, and only moves the problem instead of solving it. 

For golf courses, on-site chipping is the best alternative. After all, the chips can
easily incorporated into borders and green spaces, as it suppresses the growth of weeds. In addition, this encourages biodiversity and improves soil drainage. Due to the variety of plantings, the pruning waste is also quite diverse. 

For golf courses, it is advisable to choose a chipper that can handle this variety of trimmings. ELIET recently developed a modified version of the Mega Prof chipper, especially for golf clubs.

Economical cutting method

ELIET chippers have a special chipping system that cuts the trimmings in the fiber direction. This method of cutting is extremely economical for the machine's power. Not only can the ELIET shredding system handle wood particularly well, but all other types of green waste as well. If, for example, earth clods of flower roots or - when clearing hedge clippings on a dolomite path - some gravel ends up in the machine, this is no problem at all. 

The high chopping frequency (50,000 cuts/min.) of the Mega Prof shredder also ensures that the fine shreds are also intensively crushed, giving them optimum composting properties. Also as mulch between plantings, these chips form an airy insulation layer. With its powerful 33 hp Kubota turbo diesel, the ELIET Mega Prof has a capacity for branches up to 15 cm thick. The wide feed hopper and the large feed roller are ideally suited for the smooth feeding of all kinds of trimmings. The LED-lit push buttons integrated into the hopper edge make operation easy to understand.
and simple. 

Innovative Eco Eye^TM system

The ELIET Mega Prof is the only chipper equipped as standard with an innovative Eco Eye^TM system. This system causes the chipper to autonomously switch its engine to idle as soon as the machine is no longer actively chipping. An infrared sensor monitors the feed zone to immediately switch the engine back to full throttle as soon as the operator resumes chipping.
waste into the hopper. This greatly reduces the overall noise level and saves some 200 liters of fuel per year. The Mega Prof is equipped with four LED work lights as standard. This makes it possible for the greenkeeper to shred in complete safety even after playing hours when the evening falls early in the fall.

The Mega Prof has a low net weight, because at just 750 kg any microtractor or universal UTV can pull this chipper without any problems. In the special wave version, the machine is equipped as standard with an overrun brake and with extra-wide lawn tires. With a ground pressure of only 0.4 kg/cm², the greenkeeper does not have to worry about rutting. 

The Mega Prof also scores in the workshop. Its clever design makes it possible to dismantle the entire machine without the use of tools and in less than thirty seconds. Maintenance of the chipper is also very simple and can be done in-house. In this way, the operational cost of this machine remains at an absolute minimum. For golf clubs, this chipper is highly recommended.
