Müthing MU-C/S - Using Shredding Bars

Instruction manual – MU-C/S 39
Use of shredding bars
The degree to which the vegetation is to be mulched depends on the number and shape of the
shredding bars fitted.
The particular form of housing with the built-in shredding bar, the opposing edges in the housing,
the distance between the tools and the shredding bar also have a crucial influence on the shredding
and the quality of the mulch. These factors are precisely geared to the cutting diameter and the
rotational speed of the mulch rotor and tools.
With the shredding bars and flails working hard, the mulch will be of good quality, the mulch will rot
quickly and produce good-quality compost.
On the other hand, with more shredding bars fitted, a larger volume of vegetation is cut and cutting
tough and hard materials will have a negative impact on energy requirements, driving speed and
general wear and tear when material is reduced to this finer grade.
That is why the shredding bar installed as standard in your Müthing mulcher is removable. This
gives you the opportunity to change the degree of fragmentation depending on the quality of the
mulch required.
The basic principles are as follows: The more shredding bars you use, the shorter the cut. But with
more shredding bars you use more power and lower the capacity.
We therefore suggest: Generally speaking, only use one shredding bar
. Müthing mulchers are
constructed so that a single shredding bar will produce a good quality of mulch.
