Brief introduction of drum wood chippers
Drum wood chipper is the special equipment for the production of high-quality wood chips. This wood chipper shredder is popular in the market because of its large output and high efficiency. This large wood chipper can be continuously produced in the factory or raw material production area, with a high degree of automation and strong adaptability. The drum chipper is a large-scale wood chipping equipment, which can quickly cut all kinds of logs, branches, pine, poplar, etc. into wood chips of uniform size. The output of this industrial wood chipper can be customized between 1t/h and 10t/h.

Drum wood chippers’ structure
The commercial wood chipper mainly consists of two parts: 1. Host. 2. Conveyor belt. The main structure of the machine includes the machine body, cutter roller, hydraulic system, conveyor belt, and upper and lower feeding rollers. The body part of the machine is welded with a high-strength steel plate, which is the supporting foundation of the whole wood chipper.

How do the drum wood chippers work?
The cutting system of this newly designed large wood chipper is mainly composed of special knife rollers. There are usually multiple rotary cutting blades mounted on the knife roll. When feeding different sizes of wood, the feeding roller in its cutting system can float up and down within a certain range with the help of its hydraulic system, so that the wood enters the cutting system smoothly without shaking.

Qualified wood chips cut by the knife roller will fall through the mesh hole and be discharged from the bottom, while larger wood chips will continue to be cut in the cutting bin. The cover of the drum wood chipper can be opened to facilitate the replacement of the blade and the adjustment of the blade position.

Disc wood chipper VS Drum wood chipper
1. The shape, structure, and working principle of the two wood chippers are different. The disc-type wood chipper uses a cutter to cut without the need to install a screen. The drum wood chipper uses a knife roller to cut and has a screen structure.

2.The application scenarios and output of the two wood chippers are very different. The disc wood chipper is suitable for small wood processing plants, and the output is small. The large-scale wood chipper can be used for continuous production, and the output is large. Generally, it is used in large-scale wood chip processing plants.

Main features of the drum wood chippers
1.The machine is very adaptable. It can adapt to installation and use under different geographical and topographic conditions, and is not affected by season, climate, and other conditions. In addition, the drum wood chipper has a wide range of applications. Logs, trails, branches, stumps, slats, waste wooden boards, etc. can be processed into qualified wood chips.

2.The machine has the advantages of compact structure, easy operation, high production efficiency, and well-finished product quality. In addition, there is no need to lay a foundation when using the machine, which can save manpower and financial resources.
