Eliet Super Prof MAX Petrol Shredder

Although the concept of a self-propelling shredder, which allows you to get to the back of the garden and process the cutting waste on site, offers an ideal solution for many garden contractors, for another large group of gardeners this added flexibility does not imply added value because they have a different work area. Especially for this group, Eliet recently developed a Super Prof Max on a chassis for fast transportation purposes.

The Super Prof MAX blow chute is a fine example of engineering. Its shape prevents turbulence and the design of the curve was based on the optimal trajectory of the flying chips. As a result the machine has phenomenal propelling capacity. The choice for synthetics as the material for the blow chute was a very deliberate one: it is seamless, corrosion resistant, perfectly smooth and sound absorbing. Its low air resistance makes the chute less inclined to clog. The blow chute has a discharge height of 2 m – 8ft and a rotation span of 300°.

The blow-out level of the Super Prof MAX is at 2 m – 8 ft. An important asset, as it allows you to blow the chips from any possible location to where you want to deposit them. To make sure that the height does not pose a problem for transport, the chute can be collapsed onto the machine and clamped in place. Its height is thus reduced to 1.45 m – 4.75 ft.

Here, the shredder is fixed onto a galvanized and spring loaded trailer. Other than that, the Super Prof MAX ON ROAD has the same properties and features as the selfdriving model. The trailer does not add any disadvantages in terms of maintenance either. The total weight of the trailer is only 495 kg (1091 lbs.) and therefore does not pose any special requirements for the towing vehicle. A nyone possessing a car driver’s licence can transport the machine. Once detached from the vehicle, the shredder’s excellent weight distribution makes it easily movable by hand also. The trailer is approved for traffic and equipped with all the required features in terms of lights, draw bar, etc.

The feed opening was made wide on purpose, but without compromising on the machine’s compactness. The feed hopper has become considerably larger mainly at the top. This makes for a larger feeding plateau, allowing the operator to place the green waste quicker and have both hands free to manipulate the waste. The special shape of the hopper walls pushes the waste towards the 45 cm wide central bottom of the hopper. This flat bottom does not get any narrower towards the feed roller. The feed roller can lift up to 13 cm, which creates a huge infeed opening. This feature is highly appreciated by professionals when they are feeding branches with many twigs or voluminous cutting waste.

All the features of the machine are grouped in a well-organised dashboard at the front of the machine. The large LCD screen stands out at the centre between the ignition key and the choke valve. It is via the LCD screen that the Super Prof MAX communicates with its operator. Besides showing useful machine features, it tells the operator when maintenance is due. Below the display is the machine’s most essential button: the ‘ACTION’ button. This electronic control of the electromagnetic coupling engages the blade system and the Axelero™ and ensures that the feed roller can be activated. At one push of the button, the shredder beast comes to life.

To ensure simple and intuitive control, the operating mechanism of the feed roller was separated clearly and visually. Push buttons within reach allow for selecting feed/reverse feed. Integrated LED lights in the button highlight the selection. One push of the emergency stop handle or one of the buttons will neutralise the selection and immediately stop the feed roller. This is ultimate operating simplicity.

The machine shreds wood as well as large volumes of green waste. The material does not have to be sorted beforehand. You drive the self-driving shredder to the location where you want to perform the shredding, which means that you don’t lose any time supplying or removing materials.

The machine was developed from a low-maintenance perspective, so that checks and maintenance don’t become time-consuming and dreaded activities. The Super Prof’s internal management system helps to comply with the schedule. Regular maintenance keeps high repair costs at bay. The blade system is insensitive to foreign objects and its maintenance is simple and self-manageable. Only a limited number of parts are subject to wear and in addition, the machine has a high resale value as a second-hand item, which is an added bonus for its ROI.

The Eliet patented shredding system uses the weakness of the wood and therefore requires little motor capacity. The compact machine with its broad feeder also allows shredding branches of up to 13 cm thick as bundles of voluminous waste. Cutting waste does not have to be sorted prior to shredding. Branches don’t require cutting before processing them in the machine. It all makes for gigantic time-savings.

The ABM system ensures that the engine always operates at maximum capacity and that fuel consumption never exceeds 3 litres per hour. The optional ECOEYE™ system lowers fuel consumption in passive operation mode, yielding another considerable saving.

EFI stands for “Electronic Fuel Injection”. With this advanced technology, a small internal microprocessor can determine how much fuel is injected depending upon the load. This ensures that the engine has a much more consistent power curve over a wide range of RPMs. When used on a shredder, this leads to a 25% reduction in fuel consumption and a similar increase in performance. What is unique is that this EFI engine has no choke valve and can start up at any outside temperature with no problems whatsoever.

Since this Vanguard EFI engine does not have a classic carburetor but works with direct injection, users can avoid the classic carburetor problems such as residue buildup, leaking during transport, clogging, and so on. Above all, the precisely controlled fuel injection permanently ensures an optimal
fuel/air mix which ensures instant combustion at all times. The exhaust fumes are considerably cleaner, which is a step forward for the care of our planet.
