Special attention should be paid to spare parts for shredders, to guarantee that your machine works effectively with all types of plant residue.
What parts do shredders consist of?
Shredder parts consist mainly of wear parts such as hammers, flails, and attachment parts. Wear skids and roller ends are also parts that need to be in good condition. Different hammers and flails are needed to shred different types of residues.
Shredder hammers
Shredder hammers are made of high-strength, heat-treated steel, and fitted onto treated rods. This manufacturing process leads to reduced wear and guarantees great shredding, long-term. The helical layout of the hammers ensures perfect residue pickup.
For grass residues, hammer knives, such as part number 6061900, do a great job.
For grass residues in difficult conditions (with stones for example), we recommend our articulated hammer knives, such as part number JX135698.
For grass and wood residues (vine shoots, cut wood), heavy hammer knives are ideal, such as part number J1891002.
For fallow land and woody crop residues, opt for long hammer knives, such as part number 6061699.
Shredder flails
There are many shredder flails on a rotor. Using poor-condition flails or having flails missing will cause the rotor to be out of balance
For grass residues (only), articulated scoop flails, such as part number JX133982, with a specific rotor, do a great job (it is not possible to fit other tools).
Universal knives for shredders
For undergrowth, universal knives, such as part number JX142847 are recommended,
For undergrowth in difficult conditions (stones, etc.), articulated universal knives, such as part number J1891018, are recommended.
For clearing woody crop residues (stubble), universal straight knives, such as part number J1551000, are the most effective.
For field-crop residues (like maize seed, or wheat straw, etc.), the suction effect increases. That’s why we recommend using universal knives and stubble pallets combined, such as part number J1551138.
Pallet knives for shredders
For grass, you can use pallet knives, such as part number J1861101.
