Equipment Configuration of Wood Chip Production Line
Equipment Configuration & Technical Features
1. Automated Feeding System
Hydraulic Log Loader: Handles logs and branches up to 30cm in diameter, fitted with anti-jamming sensors to keep uninterrupted wood chip production running smoothly.
Metal Detector & Remover: Identifies and removes metal contaminants to protect critical wood chipping equipment from damage and unplanned downtime.
2. Chipping Unit
High-efficiency Drum Wood Chipper: Its high-speed rotating blades produce 20-50mm wood chips, with adjustable cutting angles to fine-tune output for different materials—perfect for biomass fuel wood chip production.
Disc Chipper (Optional): Specialized for thin materials like board skins, it creates uniform thin wood chips for papermaking that meet high-grade paper production standards.
3. Screening & Grading System
Multi-layer Vibrating Screen for Wood Chips: A three-layer mesh (5mm/10mm/20mm) sorts chips into three grades: small (≤10mm) for papermaking, medium (10-20mm) for wood panels, and large (20-50mm) for biomass fuel wood chips.
Air Separator for Wood Chip Purification: Eliminates dust and lightweight debris, achieving 99% chip cleanliness and complying with strict environmental standards for wood chip production.
4. Intelligent Conveying & Storage
Dust-proof Sealed Belt Conveyor: Its dust-tight design cuts down on material loss during transport, with adjustable incline angles for efficient wood chip handling across your facility.
Automated Wood Chip Storage Silo: Monitors moisture levels (maintained at 8-12%) and inventory, preserving product quality during long-term wood chip storage.
Production Process Flow of Wood Chip Production Line
Production Process Flow
1. Raw Material Loading
Logs, branches, and board skins are loaded into the hydraulic feeder, passing through a metal detector before moving to the industrial wood chipper for mass production.
2. High-Efficiency Chipping
The drum or disc chipper cuts materials into standardized wood chips for industrial applications, with blade settings adjusted to match the hardness of hardwood or softwood raw materials.
3. Grading & Purification
Vibrating screens sort chips by size, while air separators clear out dust and debris. Any oversized chips are recycled for re-chipping to meet size specifications.
4. Moisture Control
Optional wood chip drying equipment reduces moisture to application-specific levels—for example, 8-10% for paper pulp wood chips—to optimize downstream processing.
5. Packaging & Delivery
Chips are bulk-bagged or loaded into containers, ready for shipment to wood panel factories, paper mills, or biomass power plants requiring wood chips.
Raw Material Type of Wood Chip Production Line
Raw material type
Logs
Pine, oak, birch, and other hardwood/softwood species are ideal for creating high-density wood chips for MDF and particleboard, meeting the strict quality standards of wood panel manufacturing.
Bark
Turned into biomass fuel wood chips with high calorific value (3800-4200 kcal/kg), an excellent renewable energy source for power generation and industrial heating.
Branches
Processed into thin, uniform chips for papermaking, maximizing wood waste utilization for sustainable production and reducing industrial waste output.
Bamboo
A versatile raw material for papermaking, artificial boards, biomass fuel production, and activated carbon substrate—expanding the range of usable materials for wood chip production lines.
Finished Product Specifications of Wood Chip Production Line
Finished product specifications
| Parameter | Standard Range | Industry Application |
|---|---|---|
| Chip Length | 20-50mm | Customizable wood chip length; 10-20mm for papermaking, 20-30mm for wood panels, 30-50mm for biomass fuel use. |
| Moisture Content | 8-12% | Optimized for stable storage and smooth processing in downstream wood chip industries. |
| Impurity Rate | ≤0.5% | Ensures premium output, preventing equipment wear and product flaws in wood-based panel manufacturing. |
| Bulk Density | 350-500 kg/m³ | Higher density suits wood panel production; lower density is ideal for biomass combustion wood chips. |
