Wood Chipper Machines

A powerful and efficient machine designed for industrial-scale wood processing

There are two kinds of wood chippers, depending on the structure design: disc-type wood chippers and drum-type wood chippers. Disc wood chipper is usually used in papermaking industries to process wood logs, while drum wood chipper can process both wood logs and agro stalks in various sizes. We supply both types of wood chipper machines. The capacities range from 0.8 t/h to 25 t/h. Feel free to contact us for a free consultation. We are glad to help you choose the right machines.

The Drum Type Wood Chipper Machine is a heavy-duty machine that cuts and chips logs, branches, slabs, and other wood waste into uniform wood chips. It operates using a large rotating drum equipped with knives and is commonly used in wood chip mills, pulp & paper industries, biomass power plants, and wood pellet production lines. The wood chipper machine can be set on a frame and mounted on wheels to be portable for various working environments.

• Necessary equipment in wood pellet plants.
• Wood chip production for paper mills
• Fuel chips for biomass boilers and power plants
• Compost and mulch preparation
• Landscaping and horticultural use
• Available for home and industrial use.

• Logs and tree trunks, Tree branches and limbs
• Coconut and palm trunks
• Bamboo and eucalyptus
• Wood offcuts and slabs
• Veneer and plywood waste
• Ideal moisture content: ≤ 20% for best performance

• You need high-capacity chipping
• You’re processing large logs or hardwood
• You want uniform chip sizes for industrial use
• Large-scale biomass fuel plants, pulp mills, etc.

• You have light to moderate workloads
• You deal with branches or small logs
• You want a budget-friendly, compact, and easy-to-move chipper
• It’s for farm, landscaping, or personal use

• High-Efficiency Chipping: Consistent output for industrial use.
• Heavy-Duty Drum: Handles hardwoods and large logs with ease. Wood logs with a max diameter of 25-35 cm can be processed smoothly.
• Adjustable Chip Size: Modify feed speed or knife clearance to control chip dimensions.
• Stable Operation: Balanced rotor and solid base reduce vibration.
• Durable Blades: Made from Wear-resistant material alloy steel for long life.
• Low Maintenance: Easy access to internal parts for blade replacement.
• Wide Applications: The drum wood chippers can process both wood logs and agro stalks.

Wood materials are fed into the infeed chute, where they come into contact with the rotating drum (rotor) equipped with mounted blades (knives). As the drum spins at high speed, the knives slice the wood against a stationary counter blade, producing uniform-sized wood chips. The chips are then discharged through an outlet chute or via a conveyor.

1. Wood Materials Feeding. Raw materials such as logs, branches, or wood waste are loaded into the feeding hopper (manually or via conveyor).
2. Material Guidance. The material is guided into the chipping chamber by gravity and hydraulic feeding rollers.
3. Drum Rotation Begins. A horizontal rotating drum begins to spin at high speed.
4. Knife Engagement. The drum is equipped with sharp knives (blades) mounted on its surface. As the drum rotates, these knives slice the incoming wood against a fixed counter blade (anvil).
5. Chipping Process. The material is cut into uniform wood chips as it passes between the rotating knives and the fixed blade.
6. Size Control. The chip length is controlled by: Knife position, Drum speed, Feed speed, and Distance between the knife and counter blade.
7. Wood Chips Discharge. The finished wood chips are pushed out through the discharge outlet by the rotating drum or conveyor.
8. Chips Collection or Conveying. The chips are collected manually, fed into storage, or transferred via conveyor or cyclone to the next processing step (e.g., drying or pelletizing).

Main Components

• Feeding Hopper / Conveyor – Guides raw material into the chipper.
• Rotating Drum – The core component with mounted knives.
• Chipping Knives – High-strength steel blades that slice through the wood.
• Counter Blade / Anvil – Fixed edge for clean, consistent cutting.
• Discharge System – Chute or conveyor for chip output.
• Power Unit – Electric motor.
• Base Frame & Structure – Rigid body ensuring stability and safety.

Optional Configurations

• Feeding conveyor (belt or chain)
• Discharge conveyor or blower fan
