What is a drum chipper?

Drum chipper is a wood processing equipment that uses high-speed rotating drum and blade to cut logs into uniform wood chips. It is widely used in the production fields of papermaking, particle board, etc., and has the advantages of high cutting efficiency and flexible operation.

Working principle of Drum Chipper

By driving the cutter drum to rotate at high speed through the motor, the blade cuts the incoming material as it rotates with the cutter drum, cutting it into pieces. Qualified pieces are discharged through the mesh screen holes, and large pieces are cut again in the machine until they meet the requirements. This device utilizes a combination of rotation and cutting to achieve fast and uniform chip processing of materials.

Why choose drum chipper

The drum chipper can handle various raw materials such as logs, small diameter logs, and logging residues. Through unique design and multi-stage crushing devices, it improves production efficiency and material uniformity. Integrated assembly technology reduces the time and cost of basic production, and lowers costs. No basic installation required, the discharge direction can be changed according to needs, with strong adaptability.

The difference between drum chipper and disc chipper

1. The flying knife of the drum chipper is installed in the radial direction of the drum wheel, and the cutting force direction changes; The flying blade of the disc chipper is installed on the end face of the cutting disc, and the cutting plane is fixed.
2. Drum chippers are often equipped with forced feeding; The disc chipper has a horizontal or oblique feeding port.
3. The drum chipper is suitable for logs, logging residues, etc., and is used in the artificial board industry; The disc chipper is suitable for large diameter logs and is used in the paper industry.
4. The drum chipper has a compact structure and high cutting efficiency; The disc chipper has high cutting accuracy and strong positioning control.
5. The drum chipper has high cost-effectiveness and simple maintenance; The cost of disc chippers is high and maintenance is complex.
