Wood chipper / garden shredder Jansen BX-42RS

Working with the BX-42RS is a true delight thanks to its hydraulic feed system. With this model, feeding and pushing etc. are a thing of the past; the 2 large feed rollers take care of this themselves. The speed of the feed rollers can be continuously adjusted. This is important so that the feed speed can be adjusted to fit the diameter of the material to be shredded. Smaller diameters can be fed faster than larger diameters. In the event that the feeder should become blocked, the feed can be set into reverse using the large handle on the hopper. Furthermore, the feed can be switched off using this handle. The unit is powered via the tractor’s hydraulics; a pressurised supply line and an unpressurised return line are required or alternatively a double-acting control unit is required. As of immediately we deliver the version of the BX-shredders, which has double-sided mounting of the feed rollers and a strengthened feed hopper.

The wood chipper comes delivered complete with P.T.O. A shear pin has also been built into one side of the P.T.O., which serves safety precautions as a predetermined breaking point in the event of blockages or overloading. This means that even larger tractors with more than 100 HP can be used with no problem. You should have an engine power output of at least 25-30 HP. The P.T.O. must have a speed of 540 rpm. The feed hopper has an opening of 51 x 51 cm; at the bottom the opening measures 10.2 x 25.4 cm. A maximum diameter of 10 cm can be shredded. Many competitors list the maximum shredding diameter as the measurement of the bottom of the feed hopper, however, this value is unrealistic and can trigger the safety mechanism in the P.T.O. Softer woods with a width up to 15 cm can be shredded, although such diameters are usually processed to firewood and not chipped. The BX-42RS has a very sturdy finish! The material strength of the sheet metal in the weight-bearing area are 10 and 5 mm. At the hopper and the non-weight-bearing parts it is 2 mm. The hopper can be folded upward with ease for transport and is secured using a cotter pin. In order to make folding upward easier, the chipper has 2 shock absorbers.

The unit has been constructed in a very maintenance-friendly way; you can open the flywheel cover completely by unscrewing just one screw, giving you access to the 4 cutting blades. These cutting blades are double-sided, so that they can be turned around if required. The flywheel has a net-weight of 50 kg and has fitted wings, which produces the incredibly powerful suction which ultimately expels the chippings out of the chute. Thanks to this powerful suction, a blockage of the shredding unit is virtually impossible. The chute has a height of 152 cm (plus the height of the lower link) and can be rotated 360 degrees. We are also able to additionally deliver a 50 cm chute extension upon request. This enables easy direction of the chippings onto a tractor trailer or directly into Big Bags. The ejection angle can also be changed.

The BX-42RS can expel the chippings up to 6 m. The shredder has been conceived to be attached to 3 point linkage and can be used from Cat. I. Compare our machines with competing products! You won’t find anything comparable. We didn’t only develop these devices ourselves, but also offer excellent service (master technicians workshop) and spare parts. We have almost every part in stock. In the event of questions or problems we are only a phone call away. With us you speak with knowledgeable staff and not with “call-centre agents”! We have all of our products assembled and ready for operation in our exhibition halls. We would love for you to come by to test them!

Note: The device is delivered well packed and part-assembled in a steal crate. You should allow approx. 1 hour for final assembly. A step by step assembly guide as well as several detailed diagrams are part of the manual that comes with your mower.
