star fc - super mulcher Ground & Site Preparation Machine

The New Seppi Star FC combines a very effective and fast Stump and Root Grinder with a Site Preparation machine for the preparation of ground before replanting. The same machine can be used for resurfacing stone tracks, or the pulverizing of stone on the side of the highway, so that mowers are not destroyed. For best results an excavator that is able to deliver at least 44 US gal - 168 litres is recommended. The machine is available in widths of 60cm - 24" and 75cm - 30". In the future a 1m - 39" machine may also be introduced

11" or more below ground level

The depth at which the machine will work is more or less dictated by the reach of the excavator and will certainly be more than adequate for any grinding or cultivation operations.

Stump Removal

With a good operator quite large stumps may be removed. However normally we would suggest that the limit should be 25cm 10"

Clean Floor

The machine is ideal for clearing difficult to reach felled areas, making access and replanting much easier. It may also be used to clear trees that are encroaching onto agricultural land.

The Star FC may be used in a similar manner to the Seppi BMS - for the mulching of trees and bushes above ground. As the rotor speed may be lower the fineness of finish will not be as fine as the BMS, however for clearing operations it may be adequate. The rotor speed will depend on the oil flow available.

The benefit of the Star FC compared with a conventional Stump Grinder is that it is more tolerant of stones and rocks. It is also much more appropriate for grinding lateral roots. For this application it will be much faster.

What will it do?

The Star FC is designed to·

Grind stumps up to 40 cm [16"]
Crush stones up tp 15 cm [6"]
Destroy roots to a depth of 30 cm [12"]
Till the soil to a depth or 30 cm [12"] to prepare for new planting
Mulch unwanted vegetation up to 40 cm [16"] diameter
Resurface stone tracks or roads

Will my excavator handle it?

The Star FC is designed to be fitted to excavators from 15 - 35 tonnes [33000 - 77000 lb] seppi-star1 There are 3 widths available 60 cm [24"] 75 cm [30"] and 100 cm [39"] The 60 cm and the 75 cm models are driven by one hydraulic motor and the 100 cm model by two. Depending on the type of work being carried out, the oil flow for the single motor models should be between 120 litres and 200 litres [31.75 - 53 US gal]. The double drive 100 model requires 240 litres to 400 litres [63.5 - 106 US gal] The lower oil flow would be used for subsurface work and stones, the higher flow for above ground work - general mulching. Many excavators now have dial up flow control. These are ideal for this type of machine. The 100 model is capable of taking 300 hp
