Product characteristics of mobile wood crusher

Mobile branch crusher is a mechanical equipment specifically used for crushing and processing materials such as branches, twigs, leaves, flower stems, etc.
It is widely used in fields such as landscaping, orchard management, forestry logging, and processing of edible mushroom culture media. It can quickly and efficiently break down tree branches and other materials into smaller fragments, facilitating subsequent processing and utilization.

• Strong processing capability: The branch crusher can quickly and efficiently process a large amount of branches and wood, breaking them into smaller fragments to meet the needs of subsequent processing and utilization.
• Reduce waste: By crushing tree branches and wood, the volume of these residues can be reduced, lowering the cost of stacking and garbage disposal, while also reducing environmental pollution.
• Improving utilization value: After crushing, tree branches and wood can be used to produce charcoal, sawdust, sawdust boards, etc., increasing their utilization value.
• Convenient to move and store: Branch crushers typically adopt a wheeled and detachable design, making them easy to move and store, enhancing their adaptability and flexibility.
• Operational safety: Some branch crushers are equipped with safety designs such as feeding safety stop rods and emergency stop functions to ensure the safety of operators.
• Intelligent control: Some high-end tree branch crushers are also equipped with multifunctional digital display instruments, which can display common parameters such as engine speed, fuel level, coolant temperature, and have engine fault alarm and recording functions.

There are differences in parameters among different models of tree branch crushers:

• Processing capacity: It is usually expressed in terms of the amount of material processed per hour (such as tons/hour), and the processing capacity of different models varies.
• Grinding fineness: The particle size of the material after grinding directly affects the subsequent processing technology and product application.
• Motor power: The higher the motor power, the stronger the crushing ability of the tree branch crusher, but at the same time, it will also increase energy consumption and operating costs.
• Feed inlet size: The feed inlet size determines the maximum diameter of branches that the branch crusher can handle.
• Rotation angle of discharge port: The rotation angle of the discharge port determines the discharge direction of the crushed material.

Classification of Wood Crusher Configuration

Branch crushers can be classified into various types according to different classification criteria, such as electric branch crushers and diesel branch crushers based on their power sources;
According to the mode of movement, it can be divided into wheeled branch crushers and tracked branch crushers;
According to processing capacity, it can be divided into small branch crushers and large branch crushers.

Small garden crusher

A simple small grinder, suitable for garden use, used for breaking tree branches, repairing rattan, and crushing small amounts of materials.

Mobile tree branch crusher

Mobile crushers are widely used in fields such as landscaping, orchard management, forestry logging, and processing of edible mushroom culture media. They can quickly and efficiently break down tree branches and other materials into smaller fragments, facilitating subsequent processing and utilization.

Crawler type tree branch crusher

Crawler type wood crusher is a mobile crushing equipment designed specifically for forestry, landscaping, biomass energy and resource recycling fields, integrating efficient crushing, flexible movement, environmental protection and energy conservation.

Scope of use of electric branch shredder

Branch crusher is mainly used for processing materials such as branches, twigs, leaves, flower stems, etc., and is more suitable for sawdust processing in edible mushroom culture media. At the same time, the device can also be used for cutting fiber like materials such as bamboo, thatch, sawdust, sorghum, newspapers, cardboard boxes, and paperboard.

Crusher for sale：How to Turn Shredded Material into Profit

The output from your branch shredder is not waste; it is a product with multiple commercial uses. 

This is how you get a return on your investment.

Biomass Fuel: While wood chips are more common, fine shredded wood can also be briquetted or used as a loose fuel source in certain types of industrial boilers. It can also be used as a raw material for making charcoal in a carbonization furnace.

High-Quality Mulch: This is the most direct use. The shredded material is perfect for use as garden and landscaping mulch. It helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. You can sell this bagged or in bulk to nurseries, homeowners, and other landscapers.

Compost Accelerator: The small particle size and fibrous nature of the shredded material make it an ideal “brown” component for composting. It breaks down much faster than whole branches, allowing you to produce nutrient-rich compost more quickly.

Animal Bedding: The soft, absorbent nature of the shredded wood makes it excellent bedding for livestock like horses and chickens. It is a cost-effective and natural alternative to straw or wood shavings. For larger farms, this can lead to significant savings. Some shredded materials can even be processed in a feed pellet mill as a fiber additive.

Product advantages of branch crusher

• Efficient and energy-saving: The tree branch crusher adopts advanced crushing technology and energy-saving design, which can reduce energy consumption while ensuring processing capacity.
• Durable and reliable: The core components of industrial crushers, such as blades and cutterheads, are made of high-strength alloy materials, which have good wear resistance and impact resistance, ensuring the durability and reliability of the equipment.
• Easy to operate: Crushers are usually equipped with intelligent control functions such as automatic feeding design and multifunctional digital display instruments, making operation more convenient and efficient.
• Easy maintenance: The compact structure and reasonable design of the wood crusher make maintenance more convenient and efficient.

Crusher Q&A

Question 1: Can a branch shredder handle wet, green leaves?
Yes. In fact, they are designed for it. Unlike some chippers that can get clogged by wet leaves, the hammer mechanism in a shredder processes mixed green material very effectively.

Question 2: How much maintenance is required?
The main maintenance tasks are checking engine oil (for diesel models), greasing bearings, and inspecting the hammers and blades for wear. The hammers and blades are made from hardened steel but will eventually need to be rotated or replaced. With heavy use, you should inspect them weekly.

Question 3: What is the price range for an industrial branch shredder?
The price varies depending on the size, power source, and capacity. A small, electric farm model will be much less expensive than a large, diesel-powered mobile unit for commercial land clearing. As a factory-direct manufacturer, we offer very competitive pricing. Contact us with your requirements for a specific quote.

Question 4: Can it shred materials other than wood?
Yes. Our branch shredders are very versatile. They can effectively process corn stalks, coconut husks, straw, and other fibrous agricultural waste, making them a multi-purpose machine for many farms.
