Wood Chips Production Process for Export: Detailed Instructions

Wood chip exports have become an important sector in Vietnam’s wood processing industry, bringing significant economic value and contributing to sustainable development. To be successful in the international market, mastering the process of producing wood chips for export according to strict standards is indispensable.

From raw material selection, processing, to quality control, every step in the process plays a decisive role in producing high-quality export wood chips, meeting the requirements of demanding markets such as Japan, Korea and China.

Overview of wood chip export industry

The wood chip export industry is increasingly asserting its important position in the Vietnamese economy, contributing greatly to the country’s total export turnover. With abundant wood resources from trees such as acacia, eucalyptus and cajuput, along with increasing demand from international markets such as Japan, Korea and China, this industry is growing strongly.

The application of advanced technology in the production of wood chips for export has helped improve the quality of wood chips, meeting the strict standards of the global market. However, the wood chip export industry also faces the challenge of maintaining sustainable raw material sources and meeting increasingly high environmental standards.

To continue to develop, businesses need to invest in technology, improve the production process of wood chips for export and build a sustainable export strategy. This will help the Vietnamese wood chip industry not only maintain its position but also expand its market share in the international market.

Wood chip production process for export

Harvesting and preparing raw materials

The first step in the process of producing wood chips for export is harvesting and preparing the raw materials. The main raw materials are usually wood from trees such as acacia, eucalyptus, and other types of wood that are easy to chop and contain few impurities.

These woods are selected not only because they are naturally available but also because they provide good quality wood for the production of export wood chips. After harvesting, the wood is put through a debarking process to remove impurities and dirt from the wood.

Peeling and processing raw materials

Peeling is an important step to ensure the quality of the output wood chips. The GREEN MECH bark peeler is the optimal tool for this process, with the ability to peel bark quickly, effectively, and safely for the raw materials.

The debarking process not only helps to remove impurities but also reduces the loss rate during the wood chipping process. Thanks to the advanced technology, this debarking machine greatly improves the quality of the final wood chip product.

Wood chipping

After debarking, the wood is fed into a chipper to form wood chips. This is the core step in the export wood chip production process. GREEN MECH’s modern high-capacity wood chipper is capable of processing quickly, creating even, uniform-sized chips, and ensuring export quality standards.

This process requires close control to ensure that no wood chips exceed the allowable size, resulting in wood chips of the highest standards.

GREEN MECH wood chipper is designed with sharp chopping blades and powerful chopping tray, ensuring that the wood chips after chopping have uniform size, meeting export standards. GREEN MECH wood chipper can process wood into chips with size from 3-5cm, meeting the strict requirements of international markets.

Wood chip screening and grading

After chopping, the wood chips will go through a screening process to ensure quality. The GREEN MECH wood chipper machine plays an important role in this stage. This equipment is capable of sorting the wood chips quickly and accurately, helping to remove unwanted debris and impurities.

Substandard wood chips will be returned to the chipper for reprocessing, while qualified wood chips will continue the process. The use of a shaker not only enhances product quality but also improves the efficiency of exporting wood chips, ensuring that the wood chips meet international standards before exporting.

Drying and humidity control

After being sorted, wood chips need to be dried to reach a moisture content of less than 15%, the standard required for export. Humidity control is a key factor in maintaining the quality and extending the storage life of wood chips.

GREEN MECH dryers provide efficient solutions with advanced technology, allowing precise temperature and humidity control, ensuring the final product meets international market requirements.

Packaging and shipping

After drying, the wood chips will be packaged according to standards to prepare for export. The packaging process is carefully carried out, using high-quality packaging to protect the product during international transportation. Ensuring that the wood chips reach customers with the best quality is the top goal in the packaging and transportation process.

Quality control and export

Before export, wood chips need to undergo a final quality check, including size, moisture content and foreign matter content. This check ensures that the wood chips fully meet the standards of the destination market, thereby facilitating customs clearance and minimizing risks during transportation.

GREEN MECH provides a full range of quality testing equipment, helping businesses optimize the export wood chip production process and ensure product quality.

The process of producing wood chips for export requires carefulness and strict adherence to international standards. Choosing the right machinery and equipment is an important factor in determining the quality of the final product.

With advanced machinery solutions from GREEN MECH, your business will easily improve the efficiency of wood chip export production, optimize the process and ensure the quality of exported products.

Applications of wood chips in many industries

Wood chips, also known as wood chips, have many important applications in various industries due to its versatility and economic efficiency. Here are some applications of wood chips 

• Papermaking Raw Materials: One of the most common uses of wood chips is as a raw material for the papermaking industry. Wood chips are processed to extract cellulose fibers, the main ingredient in papermaking, providing raw materials for paper mills around the world.
• Plywood and building materials production: Chipboard is used to produce plywood, MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and other building materials. Small pieces of wood are pressed together with glue and high pressure to create high-strength panels, widely used in construction and interior decoration.

• Feedstock for Biomass Energy Production: Wood chips are an important source of feedstock for biomass energy production, including the production of wood pellets and wood chips for burning in biomass thermal power plants. This helps to create clean and sustainable energy, contributing to minimizing environmental impacts.
• Use in agriculture: Wood chips are also used as mulch in agriculture, helping to retain soil moisture, control weeds and improve soil quality. This is an effective application in protecting the environment and supporting sustainable agricultural development.
• Biochar Production: Wood chips can be used to produce biochar through pyrolysis. Biochar is used in agriculture to improve soil and in other applications such as water purification and environmental remediation.
