PROFESSIONAL PETROL DRUM WOOD CHIPPER — 15 HP LONCIN ENGINE, ELECTRIC START

BT15LE

The Dal Degan BT15LE professional wood chipper is designed for shredding branches, prunings, and woody debris from orchards, olive groves, vineyards, parks, gardens, and forest maintenance. Thanks to the powerful 15 HP Loncin engine, electric start, and the capacity to process branches up to 90 mm in diameter, it is the ideal solution for farms, green space maintainers, agritourism facilities, and professionals needing to quickly dispose of large quantities of brushwood. The drum rotor shredding system with 2 blades and a counter-blade reduces the volume of plant material by up to 5–6 times, transforming it into uniform wood chips suitable for mulching, composting, path covering, or biomass. Productivity reaches 4–6 m³ of wood chips per hour, reducing labor time and disposal costs. The Loncin G420FD 420 cc engine features electric key start and manual emergency start. The machine is completely autonomous and easily transportable thanks to the integrated tow hitch and robust tractor wheels, making it perfect for operations on agricultural farms, nurseries, parks and extensive green areas. The large 49 × 43 cm self-feeding hopper facilitates branch insertion and increases productivity. The system automatically pulls material toward the cutting unit, improving safety and operating comfort. The hopper can be opened via quick-release latches for fast inspection and maintenance. A key strength of the BT15LE is the dual V-belt drive with centrifugal clutch, a solution that protects the engine from kickbacks caused by tougher branches and ensures longer component life compared to traditional direct-drive shredders. The adjustable discharge outlet allows chips to be directed straight into trailers, bins or containers, simplifying collection of shredded material. The equipment is completed by CE safety devices, emergency stop button, hopper opening sensor and high-strength steel structure. The Dal Degan BT15LE is the ideal wood chipper for those seeking high performance, reliability, and productivity in the professional management of brushwood, pruning residues, and woody material, drastically reducing waste volume and repurposing it directly on-site.
