Pruning choppers and orchard shredders

A pruning chopper shreds branches and prunings directly on the plot, so the alley stays clean and the wood returns to the soil as organic matter. PERFECT pruning choppers combine a heavy rotor with a very high rotation speed. The resulting impact force chops branches up to 10 cm thick with ease.

Frequently asked questions about pruning choppers

What is a pruning chopper used for?

A pruning chopper shreds branches and pruning residues in orchards and vineyards. The wood is chopped in the alley, so it no longer has to be removed from the plot.

How thick can the branches be?

Thanks to the heavy rotor and high rotation speed, PERFECT pruning choppers shred branches up to 10 cm thick.

Which working widths are available?

From 0.90 m up to 4.60 m, for berry farms and vineyards as well as orchards with wide row spacings.

Can I combine a pruning chopper with a brush sweeper?

Yes. The PERFECT SPA brush sweeper attaches to a pruning chopper and sweeps the prunings out of the tree row, so sweeping and shredding happen in one pass.
