Pruning to bloom is what garden maintenance is all about. But all that pruning produces a lot of garden waste. You can of course dispose of this pile of twigs, branches and other plant debris in the container park. But wouldn't it be better and more sustainable to recycle this green waste and turn it into valuable compost material? All you need is a powerful, compact and safe shredder. STIHL's comprehensive product range is the perfect answer.
Seasoned gardeners no longer need convincing of the benefits of shredding. For professionals, a shredder or wood chipper is even a standard part of their work equipment. Shredding garden waste not only makes work in forests, parks or gardens easier, but also provides a sustainable way of dealing with waste. Bulky branches and twigs are made many times smaller, making them easier to dispose of. In addition, shredder residue forms a valuable basis for mulch and compost, which provide essential nutrients for the soil.
A shredder shreds all organic material that surfaces when working in greenery. Here we distinguish between hard and soft material. Hard material is branches, twigs and hedge trimmings. Soft material is leaves, lawn clippings and other plant waste. Fruit and vegetable scraps are not suitable for shredding because the acids present can damage the machine. STIHL offers a wide range of shredders from which you can choose the model best suited for you, based on your own wishes and needs.
What elements do you best take into account when choosing a (garden) chipper? The type of shredding material and the quantity are obviously important criteria. Do you need to process hedge trimmings and heavier branches? Then opt for a powerful petrol shredder. Do you rather have a mixture of shredding material with leaves, green waste and thin twigs? Then an emission-free electric machine is an interesting choice. STIHL also offers more powerful electric models.
The presence or absence of a connection to the power grid also determines the choice between a gasoline or electric shredder. And do you work in a noise-sensitive environment? Then you should choose a wood chipper with a noise-reducing hopper, or - even better - a quiet roller shredder. STIHL also offers a wide selection of these models.
So the ratio of mixed to hard waste plays an important role in machine selection. Do you want to shred only hard material such as branches and twigs? Then the electric garden shredder STIHL GHE 140 L will serve you well. In addition, do you have about the same volume of mixed waste, such as leaves, thin twigs and flower remnants? Then choose, for example, the electric garden shredder GHE 375, which can handle the two types well. For very large quantities of hard and mixed garden waste, we recommend the gasoline shredder STIHL GH 460 C, a robust machine for long-term use.
Whichever chipper model from STIHL you choose, you can always work with an easy-to-use and compact solution. In addition, you always have a machine with a silenced hopper that keeps noise to a minimum during chopping.
STIHL shredders with 2-chamber system and reversing technology have even more to offer. With the 2-chamber system, you can simultaneously add harder branches and softer green waste. Each chamber has its own blades, which ensures that the shredding material is processed particularly effectively.
In an STIHL shredder with reversing technology, you change the direction of rotation of the shredding blades with a simple push of a button. When the blades turn to the right, they shred harder shredding material, such as wood and branches. Do they turn to the left? Then the blades prepare softer garden waste for compost. That distinction according to shredding material saves the blades.
