Heiniger has launched the Xcell, a new battery powered clipper suitable for sheep and other large animals. The high-performance battery offers 60 minutes of run time whilst being light enough to fit into an ergonomic hand piece. Heiniger’s Hefin Rowlands says:
“The Xcell is a dual speed clipper that can be supplied with two batteries to help even the most demanding users to clip all day. The high-speed unit is capable of running at 2,500/2,800 double strokes a minute whilst remaining quiet with very low vibration levels,”
A new patent pending direct drive makes the Xcell well suited to shearing sheep and camelids or clipping cows, adds Mr Rowlands.
“It is a truly unique design that can be fitted with different combs and cutter combinations to make it suitable for a variety of applications. Unlike some battery powered clippers it is light, at just 1,334 grams, making it well suited to those operating for long periods of time,”
The Xcell features an easy-to-handle, soft touch grip with anti-slip coating which will make it well suited to those operating in challenging conditions for long periods. The battery can be recharged in 60 minutes to enable continuous running time with two batteries, concludes Mr Rowlands.
“Like all Heiniger clippers, the Xcell has been manufactured to be best in class. The combs are forged in our Swiss factory out of the strongest steel and the handpieces are built to last for years of demanding use. Our UK distributors are excited to have a new Heiniger product that we see as leading the way in battery operated clipping,”
The Xcell is available in the UK from spring 2025 from a nationwide network of supportive distributors that offer product support and information.
