Unlike it’s competitors, the SX200 has a dedicated integral chassis with brakes – as opposed to a ‘bought in’ trailer chassis. It has a 20HP Honda petrol engine, widely recognised as the most reliable and economic on the market.

It is specifically aimed at processing green waste with reduced noise, aided by the forged, sharp profile hammers with Teflon brushes. Quieter than some of the bigger machines, it is suitable to use in urban areas where noise pollution is often a pressing concern for businesses. The model TW SX200PHB (c) has a toothed conveyor (feed and grab design), which draws material to the feed roller.

Landscapers will be particularly interested in the capabilities of the SX200 – this robust machine with letter box style feed mouth can shred green materials, hedge trimmings, conifer, shrubs, brash and also nursery waste (such as packaging, plastic plant pots/seed trays, etc.) with ease, which means you don’t have to reply on material being clean.

In such environments where having a lesser wood content and the inclusion of dirt and foreign objects is commonplace (plus the fact that the end product is normally required for compost), the SX200 is the perfect solution as compost forms better and more quickly if the material is shredded rather than chipped.
