The Eliet Major Pro is a versatile tool that enables the professional gardener to tackle many tasks. Thanks to the chipping possibilities of the Eliet Hatchet principle™, the Major Pro can always be usefully deployed. This machine can easily perform any kind of trimming work. The 9 hp power rating of the machine enables it to tackle any job. Moreover, the Eliet Major Pro is extremely user-friendly. You can easily obtain access to the blades in order to perform maintenance. | As a chipper, the ELIET Major is the model that can be the most widely deployed. The ELIET Major satisfies the needs of the private as well as the semi-professional user. Some of its attractive characteristics are listed in an overview.

Sturdy frame
A professional machine must have the quality that is needed to match its purpose. That’s why ELIET firmly decided to choose an all-welded frame that is manufactured from high quality steel plate and that is fully welded. |
|  | |
Wide feed-in opening
Unlike its smaller brother (the Minor), the ELIET Major has a much wider feed-in opening (300 x 350 mm). The integral guide funnel is useful for feeding several branches into the machine at the same time. |
|  | |
Razor-sharp blades
20 razor-sharp blades chip all kinds of garden waste into nice chippings. Moreover, you can reverse the blades so that they last twice as long. |

Hatchet principleTM
The ELIET Major is well-equipped to perform the work. At least 20 steel blades perform the chipping. The special arrangement of the blades in accordance with ELIET Hatchet principleTM, not only ensures that the garden waste is cut in the fibre direction, but also gives the blades a wide area of operation. Every cm of everything that is located within the 350 mm chipping width is chipped without showing any mercy. |
|  | |
Belt drive
Everything on this professional machine is designed to have a long operating life. ELIET therefore decided to have the engine power transmitted via a belt transmission. When encountering obstacles, the impact of a sudden blockage is absorbed by the belt and not by the crankshaft of the engine. This prevents fatigue of the crankshaft that, in turn, extends the operating life of the engine. |
|  | |
Large-sized wheels
All ELIET chippers feature everything for easy manoeuvrability. The large wheels on the ELIET Major immediately attract your attention. During the work, the pneumatic tyres ensure that the vibrations are optimally absorbed so that the machine is more stable. |

| “The greater the engine power, the better the shredder is”, this is a widespread misconception. In fact, Eliet endorses a different view: We can only talk in terms of a reliable machine when an engine requires less power to achieve the same results.Eliet knows how to optimally use the power of an engine by employing its patented ‘Hatchet principle’.
How does the ELIET HATCHET PRINCIPLETM work ?
Ask yourself the question : What is the best way to make a piece of wood smaller without using too much energy ?Without thinking, you can hastily start to hack away at a wooden log lying on the ground, and after you have expended enough blood, sweat and tears, you will finish what you started.

However, if you hack at the log in the grain direction, the log will virtually split in half by itself.Just as if the wood is doing the work for you.

This is exactly how the shredders work. The blades act as thousands of miniature hatchets cleaving the trimmings in the grain direction. Given the special position of the blades, the knife drum continually goes through a cycle during which the wood is successively split and cut. The chippings are cut even more in the shredding chamber until they are small enough to fall through the sieve.

Outstanding Achievements
As the ELIET chippers use the patented Hatchet system, the operator can reap the full benefits. By cutting in the grain direction, the blades system from ELIET takes advantage of the weakness in the wood in order to cut it. The machine thus requires less power. Consequently, an ELIET chipper with much less engine power, can still process relatively thick branches.A smaller engine has a number of additional advantages :
- Lower consumption
- Lower noise emission
- More environmentally friendly
- Less prone to wear
- Cheaper
These elements also help to increase your efficiency. And this, of course, is your ultimate objective.
The Eliet shredders have a large shredding surface which extends the entire feed-in width. Most other wood chippers have a funnel-shaped feed-in opening that has a large feed-in surface, but only a small shredding surface. It is self-evident that the operating speed of the chipper depends for 50% on the ability to feed in more easily. This is yet another advantage of using an ELIET machine.
As already stated, the ELIET Hatchet principleTM enables you to choose a smaller engine. This has a beneficial effect on the construction of the machine. Consequently, this enables ELIET to design an extremely compact and ergonomic chipper. The machines therefore have several advantages in terms of weight, mobility and user comfort.
Flexibility
Thanks to the Hatchet principTM, the ELIET chippers are equipped with an extremely versatile chopping system. Many different types and shapes of garden waste can be easily processed, including:
Leafy hedge trimmings

Damp leafy garden waste

Ground cover plants

Climbing plants

Reed-like plants

Flower trimmings

Woody trimmings: fruit trees

Fir-like: (conifers, pine trees, etc.)

Leaves

Each day, gardeners are confronted with each type of the above-mentioned garden waste. His ELIET chipper will simply go ahead and chop everything into uniform, fine chippings that are nice to look at and that can be easily used as organic matter in the garden.The chippings are extremely suitable for composting thanks to the way in which they are chopped. If they are removed and stored, they can also subsequently be used for composting, thus quickly reducing the volume of waste |
