Quietly recycling garden debris – The average garden generates a large amount of waste throughout the year, much of which has traditionally been burnt as the most convenient form of disposal. However, the environmentally-conscious gardener knows that not only is this bad for the atmosphere but it is also a waste of natural composting material.

The Atco Quiet Shredder offers an environmentally friendly solution to this perennial problem, and with a powerful 2200 watt motor can shred branches up to 38mm thick.

This model uses a cutting drum system that revolves at 40rpm and is extremely quiet at only 84dB(A)*, creating significantly less noise than a traditional impact blade shredder. It also comes complete with a strong fabric debris bag which conveniently locates onto integral bag hooks.

This unique shredding action has the advantage of self-feed, automatically drawing in the material which reduces the manual feed time and increases throughput. Reverse running and a blockage relese system clears blockages without the need for dismantling the hopper.

The shredded material undergoes a "cut and crush" action producing small fractures in the chippings allowing access for micro organisms and oxygen to accelerate the composting process. The shredded material can be used as a course layer in a compost heap or alternatively, shred and spread directly onto borders to provide a moisture retaining, weed suppressing layer.

Fitted with motor overload cut-out protection, a robust stand for stability, and wheels for superb manoevrability this is the ideal shredder for woody garden waste.
