What Is A Disc Wood Chipper and How Does It Work?

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 disc chipper is mainly composed of a base, a main machine, a coupling, a chassis, and a motor. The main machine of the disc chipper consists of a knife disc, upper and lower covers, a feeding port, and a discharging port. The knife disc is the most worn part of the entire disc chipper. Feeding makes the disc chipper strong and wear-resistant. Our company’s knife disc is specially chrome-plated with wear-resistant pads, and the flying knife, bottom knife, and flying knife spiral are made of special steel, which greatly improves the service life of the disc wood chipper.

Working principle of disc chipper:

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

1. Chipper This series of disc chippers use low-voltage or high-voltage motors. Large wood chippers have pulley drive and direct drive. There are two ways of feeding: horizontal and inclined. There are also two ways of discharging: upper and lower.

2. Chipper This series of disc chippers have compact structure, reasonable layout, simple installation, convenient operation and maintenance, and high production capacity. When cutting logs, the quality of wood chips is high, and the length of wood chips can be freely adjusted within the specified range. It is a new type of disc chipper.

3. The output of this series of disc wood chippers, users can choose the model according to their needs.

4. The series of disc wood chippers are composed of a base, a knife disc, a feed port, a cover, an electronic control system, etc.

Disc chipper is a highly efficient wood processing equipment, widely used in paper mills, fiberboard mills, particleboard mills, wood chip production bases, and edible fungus production raw material processing and other industries. The equipment can process a variety of raw materials, including logs, board skins, veneers, bamboo, branches, corn stalks, cotton stalks, reeds and other non-wood fiber stalks, and cut them into uniform flakes to meet different production needs.

The disc chipper series is a high-quality product developed by our factory after many years of research and development. It has the advantages of reasonable structure, simple operation, high material quality, large output, low energy consumption and convenient maintenance, making it an ideal choice for users. These characteristics make disc chippers occupy an important position in the wood processing industry, which can effectively improve production efficiency and product quality.

1. The bearing seat should be greased and replaced once a month. If it works continuously, it should be greased twice more. Pay attention to observation.

2. The tightness of the V-belt should be readjusted after a period of use. Press the middle of the belt with your fingers and it should drop 6 to 10mm.

3. After work every day, the machine should be cleaned and the parts should be checked for looseness to extend the service life. The power part should be maintained according to the power manual.

Working principle of disc chipper: the material enters the crushing chamber through the feed port, and is discharged from the machine after reaching the specified particle size under the horizontal and vertical bidirectional cutting force of the crushing rotor.
