In Faro, southern Portugal, there is a landscape maintenance company that provides street tree pruning services for several surrounding towns. A large number of branches are produced after each operation. These waste branches take up a lot of space and easily attract pests. The owner, Carlos, knew this was not a sustainable solution, so he started looking for equipment that could process branches on site. He learned that a branch shredder chipper can directly crush branches into wood chips, greatly reducing their volume. Therefore, he decided to buy one to test its performance.【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837122632

Customer Requirements
Carlos had three major headaches: first, branches took too much space and led to high transportation costs; second, his work sites were scattered in mountainous areas, roadsides and orchards, where fixed equipment could not be used; third, workers were concerned about safety during operation and feared frequent machine jams. What he needed was a reliable, safe mobile wood chipper that could follow the work team anywhere. He repeatedly stressed: “The machine must be sturdy. Portugal has hot summers and rainy winters, so it cannot break down easily.”
Why Choose the YG Branch Shredder Chipper
This branch shredder chipper has six design highlights that impressed Carlos immediately:
Intelligent feeding system for less manual intervention
The machine is equipped with electronic monitoring and automatic feeding control. It stops feeding automatically when the engine load is too high and restarts when the load returns to normal. Workers do not need to stand by the feeding hopper for frequent operations, improving safety and preventing engine damage from overloading.
Heat dissipation protection in harsh environments
Portugal has hot summers and dusty job sites. The machine uses an encrypted diamond mesh on the water tank cover, which blocks debris while ensuring ventilation and heat dissipation. The engine maintains a normal temperature even during long hours of outdoor work.
Sturdy and durable body structure
The engine guard is bent from 3mm thick steel plate, offering better impact resistance than ordinary thin-shell casings. This design reduces damage to core components from accidental collisions or flying stones, making it ideal for field work.
Non-slip pulley design
The YG series is fitted with expansion sleeve pulleys with reliable locking, effectively lowering the failure rate of the transmission system.
Dual-motor synchronous drive for stable operation
The chain plate and pressure roller are driven synchronously by two hydraulic motors, providing even feeding force. It can steadily feed twisted branches into the crushing chamber.
Reinforced towing for rough terrain
As a mobile wood chipper, the YG-6145 comes with a reinforced towing device and heavy-duty tires. It can be towed easily on uneven roads such as mountain paths and orchard dirt roads in Portugal, with low risk of unhooking or damage.
Actual Performance of the Branch Shredder Chipper
After the machine arrived, Carlos operated it personally for a period of time. This wood chipper for branches delivered the following results:
Crushing capacity meets rated standards
With a maximum processing diameter of 250mm, it smoothly took in 25cm-thick wet poplar trunks in actual tests without jamming or obvious power loss. Equipped with four moving blades and one fixed blade, its crushing efficiency reached approximately 5 tons per hour.
360° adjustable discharge spout for direct loading
The discharge direction can be quickly adjusted 360 degrees, and the height is also adjustable. Workers park a truck beside the machine, aim the discharge spout at the truck bed, and wood chips are blown directly into the vehicle. No extra shovels or conveyors are needed, significantly shortening loading time per truck.
Significant volume reduction and lower transportation costs
The volume of crushed branches is reduced by more than 80%. Waste that previously required two or three trucks can now be hauled by one vehicle, cutting fuel costs. Carlos estimated he could save several hundred euros every month.
Few blockages
Thanks to the intelligent feeding system that adjusts feeding speed, plus reasonable blade and airflow design, there were only one or two minor blockages during a month of high-intensity work. Workers could clear them quickly, with little impact on overall operation time.
Multiple uses for wood chips
Some wood chips were spread back into gardens as mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds; mixed with fallen leaves for composting, they became organic fertilizer purchased by local farms; surplus wood chips were supplied to a small biomass power plant. This wood chipper for branches helped the company earn extra income from waste.
Reduced labor intensity
Workers no longer needed to push materials manually frequently or worry about accidental machine reversal. The intelligent feeding system and protective guards made operation easier. The team reported that work was less tiring than before.
Stable equipment performance
After more than a month of continuous use, the machine had no common issues such as belt slippage, bearing damage, or hydraulic leakage. The encrypted diamond mesh and water tank cooling function worked properly, with no engine overheating alarms.
Practical Applications of Wood Chips
Crushed materials were fully utilized. Carlos spread some wood chips in gardens as ground cover for moisture retention and weed control; some were composted with fallen leaves into organic fertilizer sold to local farms. He also reached an agreement with a small biomass power plant to collect surplus wood chips regularly. In addition, wood chips can be used as raw material for high-density boards and as pre-treatment for infected wood incineration to prevent pine wilt disease. One branch shredder chipper turns waste into versatile resources.
Customer Feedback
Last month, Carlos sent us an email. He said the machine had solved the problem of branch accumulation and greatly reduced the company’s waste disposal costs. His workers also liked using it as they no longer had to carry and load branches manually. Carlos has recommended our machine to three peers in the Algarve region and plans to purchase another YG-6130 for small-scale operations.
