Drum Wood Chipper：The Ultimate Guide

Disc wood chippers are usually called disc chippers or disc slicers. They are special equipment for preparing high-quality wood chips. Disc chippers are widely used in paper mills, particleboard mills, fiberboard mills and wood chip production bases. They can cut logs, small-diameter wood, etc. into high-quality industrial wood chips with uniform length, smooth cuts and uniform thickness. They can also cut wood, boards, etc. Disc chippers use low-voltage or high-voltage motors. Large disc chippers have pulley drive and direct drive. There are two types of feeding: horizontal and inclined. There are also two types of discharging: upper discharging and lower discharging.

The drum chipper consists of a machine body, a knife roller, upper and lower feeding rollers, a conveyor belt, a hydraulic system and other parts. The machine body is welded with high-strength steel plates and is the supporting foundation of the entire machine. Two, three or four flying knives are installed on the knife roller, and the flying knives are fixed on the knife roller by specially manufactured flying knife bolts through pressure blocks. According to the different thicknesses of the cut materials, the upper feed roller assembly can move up and down within a certain range with the help of the hydraulic system. The qualified flakes cut down fall through the screen holes and are discharged from the bottom. The large flakes will be cut in the machine.

The working principle of drum chipper is that the motor drives the drum wheel, and the drum wheel is equipped with abrasives. The abrasives contact the surface of the material, so that the surface of the material is reduced to achieve the purpose of polishing and precision processing. When the drum wheel moves, the material will generate friction, and the friction acts on the surface of the material, causing the surface to wear, thereby achieving the desired processing effect.

Efficient cutting capacity:

The drum chipper adopts a body welded with high-strength steel plates and is equipped with multiple flying knives, which can efficiently cut a variety of raw materials, including small-diameter wood, wood processing residues and non-wood raw materials such as sugarcane, reeds, etc. The design of the flying knife bolts and pressure blocks ensures the fixation and stability of the flying knives, thereby improving the cutting efficiency.

Wide adaptability to raw materials:

The equipment can float the feed roller up and down within a certain range through the hydraulic system according to the different thicknesses of the cut raw materials, adapting to a wide range of raw material types and sizes.

Ease of operation and maintenance:

The structural design of the drum chipper takes into account the convenience of operation and the ease of maintenance. For example, the hydraulic system makes blade replacement and machine adjustment faster.

Cost-effectiveness:

The patented knife roller structure and the integrally processed knife roller not only improve the slicing efficiency, but also reduce the main power demand, thereby reducing the cost of use.

These advantages make wood drum chipper the preferred equipment for material preparation in particleboard factories, medium and high density fiberboard factories and other industrial fields, which not only improves production efficiency but also enhances economic benefits.

Drum chipper is widely used in industrial production such as particleboard factories, medium and high density fiberboard factories, bio-power plants, wood chip factories, bamboo processing plants, etc. The drum chipper has advanced mechanism, regular cutting blades, wide adaptability of raw materials, and convenient operation and maintenance. The main raw materials for cutting are logs, wood felling and processing residues, furniture factory scraps (such as branches, twigs, board skin, lath, log core, etc.), and can also be used to cut non-wood raw materials (such as sugarcane, reeds, bamboo, etc.).

1. Before using the drum chipper, check whether all parts of the machine are installed correctly, whether the fasteners are loose, whether the motor is working properly, and whether the lubrication chuck is working properly to ensure the normal use of the machine;

2. Use the machine according to the prescribed operating steps and do not make random changes and adjustments;

3. Before using the machine, clean the inside of the machine to ensure that there will be no debris contaminating the material when the abrasive contacts the material;

4. When using the machine, you must wear safety glasses to avoid being ejected by residual materials;

5. When using the machine, pay attention to keeping the machine and its power cord clean to prevent fire and electric shock accidents.
