    Processing fibrous material The C3e can process palm fronds, flax, cabbage tree leaves and other similar fibrous material. The machines cutting disk is cantilevered (supported on the engine side with two bearings), therefore there is no risk of anything fibrous wrapping around the shaft and working its way into the bearings.
