The FM4DDE's 4hp 2800-watt electric motor can rotate the chipper drum at a maximum of 2800 rpm. This enables it to easily chip all kinds of freshly cut wood from hard to soft. It is a direct drive for better performance and this also means that there are no belts that you have to keep adjusting.

Although it is a powerful 2800-watt electric motor, it still runs off standard 240v household mains electricity. The UK model of the wood chipper is fitted with a UK 3-pin plug and the EU model arrives fitted with an EU Plug. The FM4DDE has twin reversible blades so that when one side becomes worn from use the blades can simply be turned around to use the second side.

This saves the need for constant resharpening and effectively doubles the life of the blades. The lightweight and compact size of the chipper enables it to be extremely manoeuvrable and easy to store. Both the feed hopper and the discharge chute have a hinged chute design, enabling the user to access the drum for quick maintenance easily.

The end of the FM4DDE's discharge chute can be angled to direct the chips. A standout feature of our latest wood chipper series is the Enhanced Anti-Blocking System—an intelligent design incorporating a fully rotatable hopper and exit chute. This allows you to adjust the chipper’s intake angle depending on the type of material you're handling, giving you precise control over feed rate and chipping performance.

When processing softer material like green waste, leaves, and smaller branches, simply tip the hopper forward. This angle increases the feed rate, allowing lighter material to flow quickly and efficiently into the chipper drum for faster processing. On the other hand, when you're dealing with thicker, more robust branches, tilting the hopper back helps slow down the intake.

This gives the machine more time to chip through the tougher wood without overloading the engine—reducing the chance of stalls and helping ensure a cleaner, more powerful chip. The entrance leading directly to the cutter (hopper chute) is 95mm x 95mm. The upper section has a CE plate fitted.
