A Drum Type Wood Chipper is a high-capacity industrial wood crusher machine designed to chop logs, branches, wood scraps, and forestry waste into wood chips. With capacities ranging from 3 to 18 t/h. It features a rotating drum with mounted blades that cut wood against a counter blade, efficiently processing large volumes of wood for biomass fuel and wood pellet plants. Compared to disc chippers, drum chippers offer higher processing capacity, better energy efficiency, and continuous operation, making them ideal for heavy-duty, continuous operation in large-scale forestry, sawmills, and biomass plants.

We supply two types of drum-type wood-crushing machines, fixed stationary wood chipper and mobile wood chipper. The fixed type is mainly used in plants or factories, while the mobile one is for mobile biomass crushing.

✔ It is a high-capacity machine for industrial applications.
✔ Used in paper mills, MDF production, and large-scale biomass fuel plants.
✔ Requires a fixed installation with conveyor systems.

✔ Mounted on a trailer or truck for on-site wood processing.
✔ Used in forestry, logging operations, and mobile biomass processing.
✔ Can be powered by diesel engines for remote use.

A Drum Type Wood Chipper is the best solution for high-volume, industrial wood processing. Whether you’re in the biomass fuel industry, paper production, or large-scale forestry operations, this wood crusher machine provides high efficiency and long-term durability.

1. Biomass Fuel Production. Converts wood waste into high-quality biomass chips for pellets, briquettes, and power plants.
2. Pulp & Paper Industry. Produces clean, uniform wood chips required for paper and pulp mills.
3. MDF & Particle Board Manufacturing. Used in medium-density fiberboard (MDF), chipboard, and engineered wood products.
4. Forestry and Logging Operations. Helps manage forestry waste, reducing environmental impact and increasing profitability.
5. Agricultural and Farm Use. Converts crop residues, coconut shells, and palm fronds into usable chips for composting and biofuel.

1. High-Capacity Wood Processing.
Processes 3 – 18 tons per hour, depending on the model. Ideal for large-scale industrial operations like sawmills and biomass plants.
2. Superior Processing Speed & Efficiency.
✔ Processes larger wood volumes than disc chippers.
✔ Handles thicker logs and hardwoods more effectively.
✔ Continuous feeding system ensures high productivity.
3. Uniform Chip Size & Customization.
Produces precise, uniform wood chips ranging from 10mm to 50mm. Adjustable blade settings and drum speed allow chip size customization.
4. Hydraulic Feeding System.
Hydraulic-powered feed rollers automatically pull wood into the drum. Ensures consistent feeding, better safety, and minimal manual labor.
5. Heavy-Duty Cutting Blades.
4 to 6 replaceable knives made from hardened alloy steel can withstand high-speed chipping and extended operation.
6. Power Options for Different Needs.
Electric motor (3-phase): Ideal for stationary industrial setups.
Diesel engine: Provides mobility for remote forestry operations.
7. Heavy-Duty Steel Frame for Durability.
Constructed with reinforced steel to handle high-impact operations. Long service life with low maintenance requirements.

Daily Maintenance Checklist:
🛠 Check Blade Sharpness – Dull blades reduce efficiency; sharpen or replace as needed.
🛠 Lubricate Bearings & Moving Parts – Prevents overheating and wear.
🛠 Inspect the Hydraulic System – Ensures smooth feeding and reduces manual labor.
🛠 Clean Dust & Debris – Prevents clogging and maintains airflow.

Periodic Maintenance:
📅 Monthly – Inspect belts, chains, and gearbox lubrication.
📅 Every 500 hours – Replace cutting knives for optimal performance.
📅 Annually – Perform a full inspection of motor, bearings, and drum alignment.

A drum wood chipper operates using a large horizontal drum fitted with multiple cutting blades. Wood material is fed into the wood crusher, and as the drum rotates, the blades slice the material into uniform chips.
