Flail mower technology

ESM's professional flail mowing technology is characterised by special designs and a special mowing method. In contrast to mowers with oscillating mowing technology, which mow with blades that work like scissor cuts, systems with flail mowing technology are equipped with a rotating mowing system. The blades of this type of mower are called flails and are attached to an axis of rotation, the cutter head, which runs horizontally to the ground. the flails are set in motion by the rapid rotation of the cutter head in flail mowing technology and cut through the clippings in this way.

Areas of application for flail mower technology

Thanks to its robustness, ESM flail mower technology is ideal for fine mowing and mulching extensively utilised areas. Tall grass, undergrowth and other vegetation can be cut and finely chopped with ease. The Ennepetal cutting and mowing technology range includes different types of flail mower technology for specific applications. The patented ESM flail blades guarantee a clean cut and can also handle dense vegetation with stems up to 50 mm in diameter. The clippings are evenly distributed by the flail mower and remain on the ground as mulch for fertilisation. The mowing method used in flail mowing requires a special design of the equipment. The rapid rotation of the cutter shaft can accelerate stones and foreign objects to high speeds. The cutterhead is therefore enclosed in a thick-walled steel housing, which is designed to act as a guard.
