Professional shredder Cedrus D16 - construction and key advantages

1. Chassis mobility and stability

Shredder Cedrus D16 was built on aL-KO approved chassis, so it can be legally registered as a light special trailer - chipper and tow on public roads.
The chassis was based on aL-KO torsion beam, and equipment includes rigid drawbar, support wheel and aL-KO hitch.

The machine has tubeless 165/R13C wheels, parking wedges placed on the fenders and lED lamps with connector 13-pin - ready to connect to the car's installation.

The heart of the chipper Cedrus D16 is loncin LC2V90FD two-cylinder engine in a V system with a capacity of 999 cm³ and power 35 KM. This is the same engine that powers professional gardening and construction machinery.
With this much power, the chipper shreds effortlessly branches up to 16 cm in diameter.

The cutting system is based on steel cutting disc with a diameter of 67 cm and a thickness of 1.9 cm, on which the two cutting knives (212×100×12 mm) and fan blades, ejecting woodchips.
Additional support knives with slot adjustment enable precise adjustment after sharpening, which significantly extends the life of the entire system.

Worth mentioning sKF bearings z external lubrication points, that make daily maintenance easy without opening the cutting chamber.

3. Hydraulic feeding and NO STRESS system

The branch feeding of the Cedrus D16 is done by hydraulic intake shaft with a diameter of 24.5 cm and a width of 30 cm, equipped with a triangular teeth and horizontal blades.
The shaft is driven danfoss Fluidtek hydromotor, computer-controlled by the system NO STRESS.

This intelligent system automatically stops feeding when the disc loses its operating speed, and resumes feeding when the speed returns to normal - this prevents the mechanism from jamming and protects the motor from overloading.

Before it went on sale in Poland, the shredder was extensively tested under extreme conditions far exceeding standard everyday use. Chipper test specimens Cedrus D16 have gone to tests all over Poland. Noteworthy is the use of one intake roller. The roller works brilliantly - it reliably grabs and shreds even branching branches, and the 35 hp power gives a huge reserve of strength.
