Available in three versions—“Base,” “Dyna,” and “Coupé”—the Seppi S9 hammer mulchers are designed for the sustainable management of crop residues in extensive farming, thanks to a high peripheral-speed rotor that ensures uniform and precise shredding even at working speeds of up to 10 km/h
The harvest season for extensive crops leaves behind large amounts of residue which, over time, have shifted from being a troublesome obstacle before the next sowing to becoming a valuable resource for maintaining soil fertility.
The slow decomposition of residues encourages the formation of stable organic matter, which positively influences the soil’s physical and chemical properties. Residues also play a key role in protecting the soil from the impact of rainfall, one of the main factors in the degradation of soil structure that can lead to compaction.
They are therefore a precious resource, and in the case of maize, shredding is essential for controlling the European corn borer, which typically overwinters as a chrysalis at the base of the stalks left in the field.
It is thus strategic to act promptly with solutions that enable a virtuous and efficient treatment of residues without compromising the accuracy and quality of operations—both essential for ensuring correct decomposition and absorption of shredded material into the soil.
Virtuous and straight to the point
This is precisely the mission profile addressed by the Seppi “S9” series hammer mulchers, available in three versions: “Base,” “Dyna,” and “Coupé.” These differ in their operating configuration: while all offer reversible hitching, the “Dyna” version also provides hydraulic side-shift of up to 70 cm, and the “Coupé” version, with its low-profile design, is suitable for specialized applications.
Common to the entire “S9” series is the ability to shred shrubs and branches up to 9 cm in diameter, at forward speeds of up to 10 km/h. This performance is made possible in particular by the high peripheral-speed “Helix Rotor,” equipped with forged and hardened steel hammers arranged in a helical pattern to ensure precise and even cutting, while optimizing force distribution along the entire shaft.
With working widths ranging from 2 to 3 meters, the “S9” mulchers also feature a double-layer frame with interchangeable inner walls made of wear-resistant “S420” steel, ensuring high structural robustness. They are equipped with an adjustable “M-Flap” rear hood that adapts to the type of material being shredded, working together with a height-adjustable, reinforced rubber support roller.
Further enhancing the machines’ efficiency and durability are protective chains connected to special flaps, which tilt to create a barrier that prevents shredded material from becoming entangled, as well as a belt protection system with an integrated deflector.
