Sustainable and resistant, the new EMAK brushcutters
Emak of Bagnolo in Piano, a Reggio Emilia-based company specialising in the production and marketing of lawn care machines, presents the new Oleo-Mac BCH 310 S and Efco DSH 3100 S “H” series brushcutters, designed to carry out lawn cleaning or edge trimming jobs in an ecological and silent way. The two brushcutters are powered by a 4-stroke OHV engine with overhead valve timing that does not emit smoke or unpleasant odours, and which guarantees low levels of noise, vibrations and consumption. Compared to a traditional 2-stroke engine – explains Emak in a technical note – the OHV cuts hydrocarbon emissions by 85% and nitrogen oxide emissions by 65%, while the electronically controlled digital coil makes starting the vehicle easier and guarantees uniform combustion. There are many technical solutions implemented by the Emilian company to raise the performance bar and extend the life cycle of the brushcutter over time. The large paper filter, thanks to its external gasket, optimises filtering capacity and hermetic seal to microparticles; the filter cover, secured with 2 easily removable screws, facilitates maintenance interventions; the plastic tank protection, robust and with small dimensions, prevents possible damage to the tank itself during use and transport operations. Another very advantageous solution is the AlwaysOn system which, after each switch-off, automatically returns the on/off switch to the on position, thus avoiding the risk of flooding the engine. The Oleo-Mac BCH 310 S and Efco DSH 3100 S brushcutters also stand out for their ease of use, thanks to the Primer and Choke controls which facilitate starting, and the “EasyOn” device (a double spring in the starter casing combined with the drive with two ratchets) which ensures less effort with each pull and quick starting with a limited number of pulls. Also in terms of easy maintenance, we should mention the muffler grille which can be dismantled separately from the other components of the machine, simplifying and speeding up the operator interventions.
