Garden refuse shredding apparatus

摘要

Garden refuse shredding apparatus (10) having a chipping rotor (20) supported for rotation about a vertical shaft in a chamber (11) which has a hopper (14) for feeding refuse to radially disposed elongate shipper blades (30) which span a major part of the rotor (28). Fan blades (44) are supported on the rotor for creating an airflow through the hopper (14) to assist feed to the chipping rotor and to assist discharge of shredded refuse from the outlet (45). The chipping rotor (20) is driven from the vertical output shaft of an electric motor or a petrol engine (21).
