A drum chipper, also known as a drum slicer, is specialized equipment used to produce wood chips. This equipment is commonly used in industrial production, including particleboard factories, medium and high density fiberboard factories, biomass power plants, wood chip companies, and bamboo processing facilities. This product has a sophisticated structure, regular cutting blades, a wide range of raw material adaptability, and is easy to use and maintain. The major raw materials for cutting include logs, wood felling and processing wastes, furniture manufacturing scraps (such as branches, twigs, board skins, laths, log cores, etc.), and non-wood raw materials.

Drum chipper is mainly used for cutting logs, small-diameter logs, board skins, laths, etc. with a diameter or thickness of less than 300 mm. The cut wood chips are used as raw materials for fiberboard and pulp, or supplied to power plants as energy fuel.

The main raw materials of drum chipper are small-diameter wood, wood felling and processing residues (such as branches, twigs, board skin, lath, log core, waste veneer, waste wood, etc.), and can also be used to cut non-wood raw materials (such as sugar cane, reed, bamboo, etc.). After cutting, the raw materials become small wood chips of certain specifications, which can be used as raw materials for particleboard, medium density board, fiberboard and other papermaking industries, and can also be used as fuel. It has a wide range of applications, diversified raw materials, good quality of wood chips, safe and reliable, simple and convenient operation, and high sales efficiency.

1. Suitable for a variety of materials, including palm waste (PKS, EFB), waste veneer, various logs, coconut shells, etc.
2. Equipped with special blades, specially designed for processing high-toughness materials, the service life is twice that of ordinary blade steel, very durable, especially suitable for crushing plywood veneer.
3. Capable of producing wood chips with uniform shape and size, 30-50mm wood chips.
4. Equipped with customized well-known brand R-type hardened gear reducer, providing smooth feeding and ensuring overall performance; simple operation and maintenance, strong durability.
5. Adopting original imported SKF bearings and high-precision machined shafts to ensure performance.
6. Use variable frequency speed control to control material flow.
7. Guaranteed stability and high output when processing any kind of material, after special modification, the drum chipper can crush plywood veneer very efficiently.

The wood is fed in from the feed port. When the wood touches the cutting blade, it is cut by the high-speed rotation of the cutting disc. The cutting mechanism is a rotating drum with several flying knives installed on it. The flying knives process the wood into wood chips when they rotate. There are multiple square through holes on the outer edge of the drum. The qualified chips cut down fall through the mesh holes and are discharged from the bottom. The large chips will be cut again in the machine.

Drum chipper is a special equipment for preparing high-quality wood chips, which has many advantages:

1.High-efficiency performance: The drum chipper uses high-speed rotating cutting blades to quickly and effectively cut logs, branches, boards, etc. into high-quality industrial wood chips with uniform length, smooth cuts and uniform thickness.

2.Versatility: The drum chipper is suitable for all kinds of wood, including logs, small-diameter wood, branches, boards, etc. It can meet the needs of paper mills, particleboard mills, fiberboard mills, as well as wood chip production bases and wood chip export bases.

3.Advanced structure: The drum chipper is composed of a body, a knife roller, an upper and lower feeding mechanism, a hydraulic system, a feeding device and other parts. The body is welded with high-strength steel plates, and multiple flying knives are installed on the knife roller. The hydraulic system facilitates blade replacement and maintenance, and the upper and lower feeding mechanisms control the size of the wood chips and adjust the feed thickness.

4.High cutting quality: The wood chips cut by the drum chipper are of high quality, with smooth cuts and uniform thickness. This makes the drum chipper very suitable for producing high-quality paper, particleboard and fiberboard products.

5.Easy to operate and maintain: The operation and maintenance of the drum chipper are relatively simple. The hydraulic system facilitates blade replacement, and the upper and lower feeding mechanisms can adjust the wood chip size and feed thickness. This allows operators to easily perform adjustments and maintenance work.

The drum chipper has the advantages of high-efficiency performance, versatility, advanced structure, high cutting quality, and easy operation and maintenance. These advantages make the drum chipper an ideal equipment for preparing high-quality wood chips.
