Forage, forestry, and agriculture are the three sectors targeted respectively by Seppi’s “H5 rc”, “Microforst rc”, and “Microsoil rc” mulchers.
Seppi mulchers: developed to equip radio-controlled tool carriers, they aim to maximize precision and operational timing in the most extreme application conditions
In agricultural and forestry maintenance activities, the use of radio-controlled tool carriers has been steadily increasing in recent years. These are agile and compact machines that offer the advantage of tackling applications without operators on board, even in the most extreme environments, such as hilly and mountainous areas characterized by particularly steep slopes that are difficult to access with traditional tractors and equipment.
In addition to improving operational safety, they also enhance timing and application precision—two key aspects addressed by the range of equipment specifically developed by Seppi for radio-controlled tool carriers.
Maintenance work in environments with high grass and brush growth, such as pastures, is specifically targeted by the “H5 rc” flail mower. Built on a high-strength “S420” steel frame, it can operate without issues even in the presence of stones and other foreign materials on the ground. It shreds grass and brush up to five centimeters in diameter using forged steel hammers, known as “Smw”, which ensure consistently uniform and precise cutting across a working width ranging from 135 to 175 centimeters.
Forestry applications, on the other hand, are the focus of the “Microforst rc” forestry mulcher. Its particularly low center of gravity and weight of under 350 kilograms together ensure maximum maneuverability, even on steep and uneven terrain. A structure made from high-strength “Ar400” steel guarantees long service life, while a rotor featuring the “Cut Control” system ensures fine and uniform shredding of woody material up to 15 centimeters in diameter, without excessively disturbing the soil.
To achieve this, the “Mini Duo” tools reinforced with tungsten carbide inserts are paired with a specific limiter designed to reduce cutting depth. This allows the rotor to maintain high recovery speed even when the hammer action is focused exclusively on woody material at ground level, preventing the working units from cutting into the soil.
With this design, the “Microforst rc” can operate at speeds of up to five kilometers per hour, covering working widths of 1.25 and 1.55 meters—40 and 50 centimeters wider, respectively, than the two working widths offered by the “Microsoil rc” stone crusher, which is also made from high-strength “Ar400” steel.
Despite its relatively compact working widths of 85 and 105 centimeters, this machine still ensures precise and uniform processing, thanks to a two-speed hydrostatic “M-Boost” transmission with automatically variable displacement between 60 and 80 cubic centimeters. This allows the working speed to be adjusted according to the task and ground conditions.
As a result, the “Microsoil rc” delivers up to 40 percent more torque than traditional stone crushers in the same category. This performance is further enhanced by a triple-helix “Helix” rotor equipped with fixed “Super Duo Protect” tools reinforced with tungsten carbide inserts, enabling the machine to work the soil up to ten centimeters deep and crush stones up to 15 centimeters in diameter.
