StormBlade Shredding Technologies

It cuts confidently and discharges evenly, even when cutting wet or thin branches.
It is a well-designed package comprising a drum with air blades, hardened AISI 4140 blades, an adjustable counter-blade and an intelligent Antistress branch feed system. Together, these components ensure a clean cut and stable operation while reducing the load on the engine. There is no “chewing”, stalling or issues with chip discharge.

TurboCut Cutting Unit

  • Stable cutting and flywheel energy. The disc is equipped with four circular knives that uniformly shred branches, creating a powerful airflow that easily ejects the chips through the discharge chute. 

  • The disc is made of 20 mm-thick steel and has a diameter of 524 mm and a weight of 34 kg. Its substantial mass enables it to function as a flywheel, accumulating kinetic energy and reducing the load on the engine. Integrated blades generate an intensive airflow based on the fan principle, ensuring that chips are discharged evenly and without clogging. After welding, the disc undergoes mandatory balancing to eliminate vibrations and prevent premature wear.

It doesn’t clog at all. It discharges the chips consistently even when the branches are wet – it’s really convenient.

LineCut Blades

  • Cut longer. Hold their edge. Impact resistant. The blades are made from AISI 4140 alloy steel, which can withstand heavy loads without chipping and will stay sharp for a long time, even when processing dry hardwoods.

  • High-impact toughness AISI 4140 tool steel is used. The cutting edge undergoes heat treatment using the HFC (High-Frequency Current) induction hardening method, combining a hard surface (60 HRC) with a ductile core. This enables the blades to withstand impact without breaking and to operate stably even under intense loads. The drum blades and hammers are made of AISI 5140 steel.

  • Hardened cutting edge
    (60 HRC)

I was cutting dry hornbeam all day long—the blades are like new. They didn’t dull or chip. Extremely impressive quality. 

Roman, Lviv Region

Hydraulic Feed System

  • Thanks to the hydraulic system, branches are fed to the knives automatically. The operator can set the feed speed and stop or reverse the branches with a single movement of the handle, making the process fast, convenient and safe.

  • The hydraulic system is powered by an independent pump that drives the feed rollers via two hydraulic motors. The feed speed is adjusted using a specialised control valve – set to a faster speed for thin branches and a slower speed for thick timber. The control handle has three settings: feed / neutral / reverse, and also functions as an emergency stop. The system is fully autonomous and does not require the hydraulics of the tractor.

The feed operates smoothly and powerfully. You can really feel that this is high-quality machinery!

Adjustable Counter-blade

  • It secures the branch for precise, even cuts. The adjustable, ground counter-blade holds the branch firmly in place during the cutting process, ensuring clean cuts without “chewing”, particularly when processing thin or flexible wood.

  • Thanks to its precision-ground surface, the counter-blade is installed with minimal clearance to the main knives. The counter-blade can be moved closer to the drum as the knives wear down via slots on the body. This design ensures secure branch fixation and consistent shredding quality.

ARPAL Total Protect Security Package

Security isn’t a luxury — it’s a standard.
ARPAL Total Protect offers comprehensive solutions to safeguard you and your equipment, ensuring a safe and worry-free work environment.

Certificates
of conformity
to EU standards

  • We are a trusted brand in Germany, the UK, Switzerland, Ireland, and Australia. ARPAL is available in over 20 countries, thanks to its compliance with strict EU safety standards. This technology is rigorously tested — and it truly sets the standard.

Ensuring the chipper meets occupational health and safety standards is crucial for us. Thanks to ARPAL’s certification, we can confidently put it into operation.

Serhiy, agricultural company, Lviv region.

The machinery complies with
a number of standards, including:

  • EN 13525:2020 — protection against accidental contact with knives
  • EN ISO 12100:2010 — designed for safety with minimal risk
  • EN ISO 13854:2019 — optimal clearances to safeguard hands
  • EN 1005-4:2008 — ergonomic design to prevent physical overload
  • EN ISO 4413:2010 — stable hydraulics, without leaks
  • EN ISO 3744:2010 — noise levels below 80 dB, ensuring comfort during extended use
  • EN 55012:2009 — electromagnetic compatibility; does not cause radio interference

These standards are more than just a formality. They ensure safe operation, precise control, hand protection, and consistent material feeding. ARPAL represents a mindset that values not just productivity, but also the people who operate the machine every day.

Using a Cardan Shaft
With a Friction Clutch

  • For optimal safety and performance, we recommend connecting the wood shredder to the tractor using a Class T5 cardan shaft equipped with a friction clutch.

    At a critical moment, this system absorbs the impact, preventing damage. Instead of the tractor breaking down or coming to a halt, the wood shredder stops, keeping your equipment safe and intact.

  • The clutch is composed of friction discs compressed by spring-loaded bolts. The force of the springs determines the moment of operation. Operating principle: when the shredder knives become jammed, the clutch discs begin to rotate, disengaging the load from the tractor.

  • ⚠️ The cardan shaft is not included with the wood chipper, but it is available for purchase separately from us.

A few times it happened so that the branch was just too big. The engine didn’t stall – it simply idled. I stopped the PTO, removed the branch and carried on. It’s smooth and stress-free.

Mykola, private gardener.

An Extended Hopper

  • You simply can’t reach the knives — the hopper is designed to make it physically impossible.

  • The input hopper’s depth and design comply with European safety standards for garden machinery.

  • Hydraulic Feed Handle

The feed operates smoothly and powerfully. You can really feel that this is high-quality machinery!

Protective shields and curtains

  • All hazardous elements are fully protected with guards, preventing accidental contact with the belt or flywheel. Yet, when maintenance is required, accessing these parts is quick and convenient.

  • The transmission components (clutch, belt, and pulley-flywheel) are enclosed within a double-sided casing for enhanced safety. The hopper allows crushed raw materials to be ejected in one direction only, minimizing the risk of injury. Additionally, the input is equipped with a protective curtain to guard against flying chips.

When I work, I don’t worry about my hands or clothes. Everything is closed. If I need to remove the casing, it’s quick and easy — I don’t have to spend an hour disassembling the equipment.

Taras, landscape designer.

ErgoBase functional design

ARPAL shredders are designed with convenience, durability, and smart functionality in mind. Simply switch it on, and it works — no complicated settings or adjustments needed.

Reinforced Input Hopper

  • A robust bunker built to withstand impacts. During operation, branches frequently hit the bunker walls. Therefore, we designed it to be as rigid and deformation-resistant as possible.

  • The hopper is reinforced with additional stiffening ribs around the perimeter and has a thickened base for protection against impacts from branches. Thanks to its solid, rigid design, it remains stable even when carrying heavy loads for long periods of time. High durability that can support the weight of an adult – you can comfortably sit or stand on top of it.

Not some flimsy tin shed — the bunker is solid. It can take a hit and hold.

Vasyl, homeowner

Adjustable Discharge Deflector

  • The wood chips land exactly where you need them. Thanks to the adjustable deflector on the discharge chute, you can set the discharge direction precisely — into a cart, a container or directly onto the ground. You can change the angle in seconds without any tools.

  • The deflector is secured by two hand knobs for easy manual adjustment of the discharge angle. The discharge chute can rotate through 360° and provides an ejection height of up to 2700 mm, allowing you to direct the chip flow in any direction without having to reposition the wood shredder. This significantly simplifies the process of loading into various containers and saves time during operation.

Simple and convenient. I set the direction, and all the chips fly straight into the cart. No need to clean up after the job is done.»

Vitaliy, “Yablunevyi Sad” Household, Vinnytsia Region

Rigid Frame With a Tow Bar

  • A solid base for long-term loads. The wood chipper can be easily transported being hitched to a tractor or trailer, thanks to its universal hitch compatible with both a towbar and a tractor trailer.

  • The frame is constructed from thick-walled pipe, designed to handle constant working loads. Its reinforced design effortlessly supports the weight of the entire chipper while withstanding the dynamic forces of operation. The universal hitch lets you connect the trailer directly to the shredder, enabling a seamless tractor–chipper–trailer setup.

I hitch everything at once: tractor, wood shredder, and trailer. I get the work done and drive on. It saves so much time.

Vasyl, farmer from Vinnytsia region.

Powder coating

  • Long-lasting protection — no rust or peeling. The coating stays strong, vibrant, and intact without fading or cracking over time.

  • Polymer powder paint is applied using a static charge and then baked at high temperatures, forming a dense, durable, and long-lasting protective coating.

Customers often send us videos after 3–4 years of use and it is hard to believe the feedback — the wood chipper still looks as if it just rolled off the production line.

Not a single tool needed

  • All components are easily unscrewed and removed by hand — no keys or screwdrivers required. Maintenance can be carried out effortlessly, without any additional tools.

here isn’t always a tool set handy when you are on the go  —
and that might really save the day.
