Drum Chipper

A Chipboard Drum Chipper is a heavy-duty industrial machine used in the production of chipboard (also known as particleboard). It is designed to process raw wood materials, such as logs, slabs, or wood waste, into uniform wood chips. These chips are then used as the primary raw material in the manufacturing of chipboard. The drum chipper is a critical component in the wood processing industry, ensuring consistent chip size and quality, which directly impacts the quality of the final chipboard product.

2. Blades/Knives:

High-quality, replaceable blades or knives are mounted on the drum.

Blades are designed to produce uniform chips of a specific size and shape.

Details11 Details15


3. Infeed System:

Includes a conveyor or feed mechanism to transport raw wood into the chipper.

May have a hydraulic or mechanical feed system to control the speed and volume of material entering the chipper.

Details14


4. Discharge System:

Equipped with a discharge chute or conveyor to transport the chips to the next stage of production (e.g., screening, drying, or storage).

5. Drive System:

Powered by an electric motor or diesel engine, depending on the application.

Includes a gearbox or belt drive to transfer power to the drum.

Details13


6. Safety Features:

Emergency stop buttons, safety guards, and overload protection to ensure safe operation.

May include sensors to detect foreign objects or metal in the feed material.

How a Chipboard Drum Chipper Works:

1. Raw Material Feeding:

Logs, slabs, or wood waste are fed into the chipper via a conveyor or feed mechanism.


2. Chipping Process:

The rotating drum with blades cuts the wood into small, uniform chips.

The size of the chips is determined by the blade configuration and drum speed.


3. Chip Discharge:

The chips are discharged through a chute or conveyor and transported to the next stage of production.
