 Experience counts
The thirty years experience of PEZZOLATO S.p.A. in primary conversion of wood has also
consolidated a notable know how in the design and construction of machines for the dis-
posal of pruning residues, as well as scrubs, brambles and anything else resulting from main-
tenance of the woodland, avenues, parks, gardens and cemeteries. This is to allow the reduc-
tion of volume of the material processed and re-use as fuel, in mulching and composting.

The Company manages three production lines in the two establishments at Envie (Cuneo):
an area of 70,000 m2 of which 28,000 m2 covered and where 150 staff operate, among which

power-take-off (G), an autonomous petrol (MB),
Diesel (M), or electric (E) motor.

The range
PEZZOLATO PZ series chipping machines distinguish
themselves for their capacity to reduce large volumes
of green or dry material in very short times.
The range includes seven basic machines:

The optional supplies
From the PZ 150 model on, it is possible to mount a chain For engine-driven models (MB, M, E), instead, the
belt on all models (hydraulically activated) from the floor machine can be equipped with a 360° rotating platform.
of the large hopper feeding the material to be chipped, in
order to ease the entry of large material (waste wood,
hedges, leaves and other short material). For all models in
the PZ series it is possible to overturn (close) the feeding
hopper in order to reduce
the overall size of the
machine when it
must be transport-
ed from one place
to another.

A container is available (that can be integrated to the

machine) for collection of the chipped material.

For models with tractor PTO (G) it is possible to equip

the machine with a 180° rotating platform for orienta-
tion of the feeding hopper, in a way to ease feeding of
the material to be chipped.

Other accessories are also available:

• Height-adjustable bar
• Feeder with grips
• Extension of the discharge pipe
• “No stress” device with the hour-counter
• Soundproof painting
• Soundproof protections
• Spare wheel
• Version for “unimog”
