Equipment Configuration of Wood Chip Production Line
Equipment Configuration & Technical Features
1. Automated Feeding System
Hydraulic Log Loader:Loads logs and branches up to 30cm in diameter, equipped with anti-jamming sensors for continuous operation.
Metal Detector & Remover:Identifies and removes metallic impurities, protecting downstream equipment from damage.
2. Chipping Unit
Drum Chipper:High-speed rotating blades cut raw materials into 20-50mm wood chips, with adjustable cutting angles to optimize output for different materials.
Disc Chipper (Optional):Ideal for processing thin materials like board skins, producing uniform thin chips suitable for papermaking.
3. Screening & Grading System
Vibrating Screen:Three-layer mesh (5mm/10mm/20mm) separates wood chips into three grades: small (≤10mm) for papermaking, medium (10-20mm) for wood panels, and large (20-50mm) for biomass fuel.
Air Separator:Removes dust and lightweight impurities, achieving 99% cleanliness and meeting environmental standards.
4. Intelligent Conveying & Storage
Sealed Belt Conveyor:Dust-proof design minimizes material loss during transportation, with adjustable inclination angles for efficient handling.
Automated Storage Silo:Monitors chip moisture (maintained at 8-12%) and storage levels, ensuring product quality during long-term storage.
Production Process Flow of Wood Chip Production Line
Production Process Flow
Raw Material Loading
Logs, branches, and board skins are fed into the hydraulic loader, passing through a metal detector before entering the chipper.
High-Efficiency Chipping
The drum or disc chipper cuts materials into standardized wood chips, with blade settings adjusted based on material hardness.
Grading & Purification
Vibrating screens sort chips by size, while air separators remove dust and debris. Oversized chips are recycled for re-chipping.
Moisture Control
Optional drying equipment reduces moisture to optimal levels for specific applications (e.g., 8-10% for paper pulp).
Packaging & Delivery
Chips are bagged in bulk or loaded into containers, ready for transport to wood panel factories, paper mills, or biomass power plants.
Raw Material Type of Wood Chip Production Line
Raw material type
Logs
Pine, oak, birch and other hardwood/softwood species, ideal for the production of high-density chips required for MDF and particleboard.
Bark
Made into thin, uniform chips suitable for papermaking, maximizing waste utilization.
Branches
Processed into biomass fuel chips with a calorific value of 3800-4200 kcal/kg.
Bamboo
Can be used for papermaking, artificial boards, biomass fuel, activated carbon substrate, etc.
