C13 Brush Chipper
Model C13 is a new model, replacing Model C9 - a long time good performer in the Hansa range.
The
ideal machine for lifestyle block owners, small to medium sized
horticultural businesses, orchards, nurseries, farms, hire centres,
school grounds, parks, etc. Model C13 has a large inlet chute for
feeding in bigger bundles of brushy and twiggy materials, vines and
larger branches, therefore no precutting is necessary. The machine has a
very efficient self feeding action. This 'self - feeding' action is due
to the design of the rotor and the blade set-up, resulting in a user
friendly machine easy on the operator. The inertia generated by the
large rotor disk creates enough momentum to keep cutting as well as
giving the machine enough draught to discharge the mulch up to 8m away
(or close to the operating area by adjusting the deflector on the outlet
chute). Having a discharge height of 1.2m makes Model C13 ideal for
discharging onto a trailer, ute deck or small truck, eliminating the
need for any double handling of mulch.
The Hansa Brush Chipper
Model C13 operates with 2 cutting knives, the most efficient way to
process branch material. The machine is therefore not suitable for
processing soil, sand, grit, stones etc, or any material which will be
abrasive and damage the knives. It will chip / shred any branches (green
or dry), general garden prunings, hedge material, vines and flower
stalks. It is best to avoid flax and cabbage tree leaves. The design of
Model C13 allows full access to the inside of the machine by pivoting
open the outlet chute. This makes changing blades for sharpening simple
and requires little effort. Adjustable blades eliminate the need to
adjust the anvil after sharpening, giving the ability to adjust each
blade individually to the anvil for optimal clearance. The blades will
last anywhere up to 30 hours use before requiring sharpening, depending
on the type of material being mulched.

When you compare different makes of machines, be careful, as some manufacturers rate their capacity by the size of the opening, which is misleading. Through a 75mm opening you can practically feed only a 50mm branch. The Hansa C13 has an inlet opening size at the blades of 150 x 180mm.
