Mulching Technology

The benefits of mulching are well established particular in areas of mixed vegetation beyond the capability of conventional mowing, as are the various technologies deployed. Humus take these benefits a stage further with their revolutionary and award-winning Safety-Cut Mulching Technology.

• Based on a totally different mulching principle, Safety-Cut mulching provides
• Virtual elimination of the danger of mulched debris being ejected
• High levels of performance
• Low energy requirement
• Clean cut
• Superior pulverisation
• Even discharge of pulverised debris

At the heart of the Safety-Cut technology is the helicoidal rotor, fitted with multi-toothed cutting blades made from hardened, wear-resistant steel. The seperate blade segments are easily replaced without the need for special tools, saving time and money during servicing.

With the emphasis on “safety” the innovative design of the helicoidal rotor eliminates nearly 95% of the risk of stone chips and other hard debris being turned into dangerous projectiles.

The multi-toothed cutting blades assure an even, clean cut, perfect pulverisation and an even distribution of the pulverised debris.

Safety-Cut Mulchers are available with mechanical or hydraulic drive.
