Wood chippers

Chippers are machines used for shredding dry and wet plant material. They are mainly used in agriculture, but also in forestry and the wood industry. Chippers are used to prepare animal feed, prepare compost, maintain cleanliness in the barn, or reduce the mass in the waste landfill.

• Chippers can be divided into several groups based on different characteristics, such as:
• drive method
• power
• size
• The most commonly used ones include:
• mechanically driven chippers
• hydraulically driven chippers
• electrically driven chippers
• Mechanical chippers use the direct power transfer from the engine to the cutting drum, while hydraulic and electric chippers use an additional hydraulic or electric system to assist in the shredding process.
• When choosing a chipper, it is important to pay attention to several important parameters, such as:
• engine power
• size of the cutting drum
• size of the inlet opening
• size and type of material obtained
• In addition, it is worth considering the cost of operation and maintenance, as well as the availability of spare parts and service in a given region.
