Remarc Chipper Shredder

Remarc, formerly known as Cramer, has a rich history in the development and production of garden equipment, with a particular focus on woodchippers.

Originally founded in 1835 as a smithy, the company transitioned into a development and production facility for stone grist mills in 1920.

Following World War II, Remarc expanded its portfolio to include agricultural machinery such as hay blowers, chipping equipment, and potato planters. One of their significant achievements was the introduction of the world's first self-developed fully automatic potato planter, which became a global success.

In the late 1970s, Remarc shifted its focus towards shredding technology for garden and landscape maintenance, laying the foundation for its renowned line of woodchippers. Their woodchippers, along with other garden equipment such as scarifiers, universal vacuum cleaners, sweepers, and lawn tractors, quickly gained popularity among both hobby gardeners and professional landscapers for their durability and reliability.

In 2017, Remarc, then operating under the name Cramer, was acquired by the Chinese Globe Group. However, after three years under new ownership, the company was repurchased by its original German leadership and rebranded as Remarc.

Remarc woodchippers and garden shredders are used for a variety of purposes, including:

• Garden Cleanup: Shredding leaves, branches, and other garden debris to reduce waste and create mulch or compost.
• Landscaping: Producing wood chips for pathways, flower beds, or other landscaping projects.
• Forestry and Arboriculture: Processing tree branches and other wood waste generated during tree trimming or removal.
• Agriculture: Creating mulch for soil improvement or animal bedding.

Woodchippers and garden shredders can be dangerous if not used properly. To ensure safety, follow these precautions:

• Wear Protective Gear: Always wear safety goggles, gloves, hearing protection, and sturdy clothing when operating the machine.
• Keep Hands and Clothing Clear: Avoid reaching into the infeed chute or hopper. Use a push stick or similar tool to guide material into the machine.
• Check for Foreign Objects: Inspect branches and garden debris for nails, wires, or other metal objects that could damage the machine.
• Follow Operating Instructions: Read and understand the user manual before operating the chipper or shredder.
• Ensure Stable Setup: Place the machine on a level surface to prevent tipping during operation.
• Never Operate Alone: Have someone nearby in case of emergency.

Regular maintenance and proper care can extend the life of woodchippers and garden shredders. Here are some key maintenance and repair tips:

• Clean Regularly: After each use, clear away any debris from the woodchipper or garden shredder. Avoid using high-pressure water for cleaning, as this could harm electrical parts and bearings. Instead, use a broom or brush, or use compressed air to remove dirt and debris. If you've been shredding soft garden waste or making compost, consider running some branches or wood through the shredder. This harder material helps clean out the chopping chamber effectively.
• Sharpen Blades: Keep cutting blades sharp to ensure efficient operation. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening or replacing blades.
• Check Oil and Filters: For gasoline-powered models, regularly check the oil level and air filters. Change oil and filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Inspect Safety Features: Ensure that all safety guards and shields are in place and in good condition.
• Secure Fasteners: Check and tighten all bolts and screws to prevent loosening during operation.
• Seek Professional Help: If you're unsure about repairs or maintenance, consult a professional or the manufacturer for assistance.
