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. Atco Quiet Shredders offer an environmentally friendly solution to this perennial problem. The Quiet 2000 model has a powerful 2000 Watt motor which enables it to shred branches up to 35mm 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 release 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. All Atco shredders have motor overload cut-out protection, a robust stand for stability, and wheels for superb manoeuvrability. (*84dB(A) LwA/91 dB(A) LwA (Ral U254). Guaranteed sound power 92 LwA (with dry wood 2000/14/EC).
