M.E.A.A.T. Mulcher's

Tornado and M.E.A.A.T. have been closely associated for over 30 years in the distribution of a selected range of pasture, horticultural and specialised mulchers to suit a variety of tasks to suit tractors from 15 to 120 hp.

The TSAP model - Heavy Duty Shredder - is characterised by a remarkable robustness. The body is built with very thick, high resistant sheet steels. To obtain a perfect mulching, a row of counter blades is welded along the internal part of the body. The model can be equipped with hammer or universal blades, which are interchangeable, and can be used in green areas, for clearing out underbrush, for cutting grass, olive, vine, fruit-trees runners as well as other lopped branches of up to 10 cm diameter. With this robust and highly reliable machine high performance with low power absorption is guaranteed. According to the required usage, the model can be equipped with side skids or rear roller, shift (mechanical, with screw or hydraulic), front protections (wings or chains). The TSAP model, like all other m.e.a.a.t. machines, is equipped with protections as per CE standards.

Trimmings, grass, harvest residues, and underbrush chopping has many advantages: - it guarantees a uniform humus supply to the soil, that is essential to make it fertile - it helps the elimination of parasites - it is ecological thanks to the total elimination of weed-killers - it improves transplanting and harvesting - it clears out underbrush. The wide range of m.e.a.a.t. Shredders & Choppers benefits by a very high technology and answers to three basic criteria: - top quality chopping - high efficiency - first quality manufacturing, solidity and endurance. Our machines guarantee the optimal performance, which farmers expect from a modern and top quality machine.

Heavy duty gearbox.
The frame is made of heavy duty steel sheet and heavy RHS.
Heavy duty transmission arm.
Lengthened holes on gearbox holder and adjustment on pulley to adjust belt tensions.
The rotor rotating speed is a basic element to obtain a 1st quality chop. For our machines we select a rotating speed of 1900rpm for a linear velocity of 60 metres per second on the blade ends.
The rotor is the show piece of our machines, the quality and thickness of the materials used guarantees long endurance and reliability, the perfect workmanship and its weight guarantee a considerable inertia and consequently a high forward speed and low HP required.
A heavy duty rotor requires a sophisticated balancing technique, our rotors are electronically balanced and they are free from vibrations the first day as well as after many years.
Extra heavy duty bearings are used on the rotor.
The chain draw give high flexibility to the 3rd point linkage allowing the machine to cross even the most rough soils.
The rotor can be fitted with several different types of blades (see below).
The machines are painted with 1st quality paints.
