The Wood Shaving Machine is a high-efficiency wood processing machine to cut logs, branches, and various types of scrap wood into uniform and curled wood shavings. These wood shavings can be widely used as comfortable and absorbent bedding for horses, chickens, pigs, and other animals, as well as protective filler for packaging and transportation.
The machine can process raw materials such as logs, branches, poplar, mulberry, locust wood, shrubs, and waste wood from construction templates, with adjustable shaving thickness from 0.5 to 3 mm. Available in multiple models, the machine offers a capacity of 300–2,500 kg/h, making it suitable for both small-scale and commercial wood shaving production.
What raw materials are suitable for the wood shaving machine?

The wood shaving machine can process logs, branches, poplar, mulberry, locust wood, shrubs, and scrap wood from building templates.
For better quality shavings, peeled logs are preferred due to their uniform size and low debris.
Main structure of wood shaving machine for animal bedding
The wood shavings machine is built with several key components, including the frame body, motor, pulley, and cutter head.
- Frame body. Provides the main structural support for the machine.
- Motor. Drives the machine’s operation.
- Pulley. Facilitates the movement of the machine.
- Cutter head. Adjustable between 0.5 and 3 mm for precise thickness control.

How does the wood shavings machine work?

- Turn on the power to start the machine and keep it in continuous operation.
- Put the wood or branches to be processed into the inlet of the wood shaving machine.
- Once the wood enters the machine inlet, it will be quickly cut into uniform wood shavings.
- The processed wood shavings are discharged through the outlet.

Trouble and solution of using wood shaving machine

The belt will get stuck when using a log shaving machine
- Reason: the motor rotor and machine rotor are not concentric.
- Solution: the position of the motor can be moved to the left and right. Or add pads under the motor feet to adjust the concentricity of the two rotors.
The output of wood shaving machines is relatively low
- Cause: the blade is not sharp or the blade is not adjusted to the proper position.
- Solution: remove the blade and sharpen the blade. Or adjust the blade to the appropriate chip position.


The wood shaver machine has difficulty in feeding and slow cutting
- Cause: the blade is badly worn. Or the blade gap is too large or too small.
- Solution: grind the blade to ensure the blade is sharp. Or adjust the fixed knife gap 2-3mm, and ensure that the blade angle cannot be greater than 30 °.
Maintenance of the wood shaving machine for horse bedding
Regular maintenance of the wood shaving machine is essential for enhancing production efficiency and minimizing machine failures. Proper upkeep involves three main tasks: replacing the cutter head blades, lubricating the machine bearings, and replacing worn-out parts.
- Replace cutter head blades. Ensure optimal cutting performance by regularly changing the blades.
- Lubricate machine bearings. Fill bearings with lubricating oil to maintain smooth operation.
- Replace worn parts. Swap out vulnerable components to prevent malfunctions and maintain efficiency.
