The Drum Wood Chipper can produce high-quality wood chips. Highly regarded for its substantial output and exceptional efficiency, this wood chipper is ideal for continuous use in factories and raw material production areas.
Drum Wood Chipper Machine processes logs, branches, pine, poplar, and more into uniformly sized chips, with output capacities ranging from 5 to 15 tons per hour. The Drum Wood Chipper features adjustable chip sizes and integrates seamlessly with conveyors for automated processing.
Known for its performance and durability, this machine enjoys global popularity, having been exported to countries such as Canada, Brazil, India, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates.
Drum wood chipper structure
The commercial wood chipper is primarily composed of two main parts:
- Host
- Conveyor belt
Main structure
- Machine body. Welded from high-strength steel plates, this serves as the supporting foundation of the entire wood chipper.
- Cutter roller. Essential for shredding the wood into chips.
- Hydraulic system. Facilitates smooth operation and efficient processing.
- Conveyor belt. Transports materials to and from the chipper.
- Upper and lower feeding rollers. Ensure steady feeding of materials into the machine.
The robust construction of the machine body and the integration of these components ensure the wood chipper’s durability and efficient performance in processing wood.
How does the drum wood chipper machine work?
The drum wood chipper machine operates through a sophisticated cutting system designed for efficiency and ease of use:
- Cutting system
- Special knife rollers. Equipped with multiple rotary cutting blades, these rollers are crucial for shredding wood into chips.
- Feeding roller. The hydraulic system allows the feeding roller to float up and down, accommodating different wood sizes and ensuring smooth, vibration-free entry into the cutting system.
- Processing
- Cutting operation. Wood enters the cutting system where it is processed by the knife rollers. Chips that meet the desired size fall through mesh holes at the bottom and are discharged, while larger pieces are retained in the cutting bin for further processing.
- Maintenance
- Accessible design. The machine’s cover can be opened for easy replacement of blades and adjustment of their positions, facilitating straightforward maintenance.
This mechanism ensures efficient wood chipping, accommodating various wood sizes and simplifying upkeep.
Main features of the drum wood chipper
- Knife roller system. The drum wood chipper is equipped with a knife roller that utilizes multiple rotary blades to cut wood into uniformly sized chips. This system enhances cutting precision and efficiency.
- Adjustable screen. It includes an adjustable screen structure that allows for the customization of chip sizes. This feature ensures that only chips of the desired size are discharged, improving product quality.
- Hydraulic feeding roller. The feeding roller, supported by a hydraulic system, can move up and down within a certain range. This design accommodates various wood sizes and ensures smooth, vibration-free feeding into the chipper.
- Large capacity. Capable of processing large volumes of wood, the drum wood chipper is ideal for continuous production in large-scale wood chip processing plants, with output ranging from 5 to 15 tons per hour.
- Easy maintenance. The machine features an accessible cover that simplifies blade replacement and adjustment, reducing downtime and maintenance efforts.

Disc wood chipper vs. drum wood chipper
1. Design and working principle
- Disc wood chipper
- Shape and structure. Features a disc-shaped cutter that does not require a screen.
- Working principle. Cuts wood using a rotating disc with blades, allowing for a simpler design and operation.
- Drum wood chipper
- Shape and structure. Utilizes a knife roller for cutting and includes a screen structure.
- Working principle. Wood is processed by the knife roller, and chips are sized using the screen, providing more control over the output size.
2. Application scenarios and output
- Disc wood chipper
- Applications. Best suited for small wood processing plants.
- Output. Generally has a smaller capacity, ideal for lower volume operations.
- Drum wood chipper
- Applications. Designed for large-scale, continuous production in substantial wood chip processing plants.
- Output. Capable of high-output operations, handling large volumes of wood efficiently.
These differences in design and functionality make each wood chipper suited to specific operational needs, with the disc wood chipper catering to smaller, less demanding tasks and the drum wood chipper excelling in large-scale production environments.
