VIP 160 hydraulically driven shredder

Description VIP 160 hydraulically driven shredder

The compact mounted VIP 160 shredder is designed for use in vineyards and orchards and effectively shreds grass, shoots and branches up to 4 cm in diameter. The machine is aggregated with tractors with a power of 30–60 hp (22–43 kW) and has a working width of about 160 cm, which allows for high-quality processing of row spacing without damaging plant stems.

The rotor can be equipped with 16 heavy impact knives (bolt hole Ø 16.5 mm, weight ≈ 1.15 kg each) or a set of 32+16 Y-shaped knives - both options provide intensive shredding and minimal vibrations during operation. Inside the housing there are 10 internal counter knives, which additionally shred plant residues. The frame is made of double reinforced 6 mm steel construction with a rounded "cold" side wall with a height of 42 cm, so the shredder can work very close to bushes and trees.

The working height is easily adjusted using the rear leveling roller shaft, and the opening rear hood simplifies cleaning and maintenance. The basic distance from the center of the tractor to the center of the rotor is 80 cm, and thanks to the lateral offset, the working range is approximately 33–127 cm, which allows you to conveniently go around trunks, supports and other obstacles in the row.

The drive is carried out from the tractor's PTO at a speed of 540 rpm through three V-belts, which guarantees reliable power transmission. The dimensions of the shredder are 175 × 105 × 42 cm, weight is 408 kg, so the VIP 160 is characterized by stability and durability during intensive use. All protective elements meet EU safety requirements, making the VIP 160 a reliable professional solution for caring for vineyards and orchards.
