TIREX-R Shredder Module – Ø260 mm | 2 Knives | Belt-Driven by Petrol or Electric Motor
The TIREX-R branch shredder module, made in Voloka, Chernivtsi (Ukraine), is a shredding head without its own motor, designed to be mounted on a petrol or electric motor via a belt drive. Inside, a perfectly balanced Ø260 mm rotating disc carries 2 short Pilana-type knives — the same design principle used on planer machines — which shave the material on every revolution instead of tearing or jamming the branch. The result: stable, vibration-free operation, even with knotty branches.

✨ WHAT MAKES TIREX-R DIFFERENT:
-
Balanced Disc – Zero Vibration: the 260 mm internal disc is dynamically balanced, so the module runs steadily on any frame, without jumping or shaking hard like cheap hammer-type models.
-
2 Pilana DS Knives, Not Generic Steel: the same type of knife used on professional planer machines — resharpenable, they do not chip on knots and cut cleanly instead of crushing the fibre.
-
Universal Belt Mounting: the 2-groove (B-section) pulley lets you mount the module on any petrol or electric motor of suitable power, turning it into a complete shredder built around the power source you already own.
-
Higher Capacity: a shredding diameter of up to 70 mm in green wood exceeds the standard version, suitable for thicker branches.
🌳 SUITABLE MATERIALS:
Ideal for fruit tree branches, grapevine and garden shrubs, from a few mm up to 70 mm when green (up to 50 mm when the wood is dry). Perfect for preparing material for mulching or composting — a professional-grade module designed to be integrated with the user's own motor (petrol or electric).
⚠️ USAGE LIMITATIONS:
-
❌ Do NOT feed MDF, particleboard, plastic or other composite materials — Pilana DS knives are designed for natural wood only; synthetic materials damage the cutting edge and can be dangerous when shredded.
-
Maximum diameter 70 mm (green) / 50 mm (dry): do not force thicker branches — the drive motor can overheat or jam.
-
Motor not included: requires a separate petrol or electric motor with compatible power and speed, plus a B-section drive belt matching the pulley.
🦺 SAFETY MEASURES:
-
❌ Do NOT wear gloves while working. It may seem counter-intuitive, but it is the correct advice for machines with a feed opening: a glove caught by the disc pulls the hand in with it. A bare hand that touches the danger zone reacts instinctively and pulls back — a glove does not.
-
Do not wear loose sleeves, scarves or dangling jewellery — anything that can catch on a branch and be pulled towards the feed opening (75×75 mm) must be strictly avoided.
-
Never put your hand into the feed opening to push a stuck branch — always use another branch or a stick to push the material.
-
Check the belt and pulley guard before starting — an exposed drive is an additional entanglement risk.
-
Wear safety glasses — wood chips can fly out during shredding.
-
Wear hearing protection during extended use, especially with a petrol drive motor.
-
Tie back long hair and do not lean over the feed opening.
-
Stop and disconnect the drive motor before changing the knives or clearing jammed material.
-
Keep children and animals at a distance during operation.
