Drum Wood Chipper converts logs, branches, pallets, and other wood waste into uniform wood chips through a simple and efficient process. First, materials are fed into the machine through a conveyor. The feed rollers then guide the material toward the high-speed rotating drum. Equipped with durable cutting knives, the rotating drum slices the wood into small chips as it passes through the cutting chamber. The processed wood chips are then discharged through the outlet for collection, transportation, or further processing.
This efficient working principle allows Drum Wood Chippers to handle large volumes of wood waste while maintaining high productivity and uniform chip quality. The resulting wood chips are widely used in biomass fuel production, wood pellet manufacturing, paper mills, and wood recycling plants. Please watch the Drum Wood Chipper working video below:
