Application of wood chipper in production? Perspective from industrial wood processing industry
Vietnam’s industrial wood processing industry currently achieves an export turnover of more than 14 billion USD per year, leading to an increasing demand for raw material processing and waste utilization. In particular, wood chipper plays a key role, helping to create uniform wood chips for MDF and HDF board production, while recycling wood chips, reducing waste and raw material purchasing costs by 15-20%.
So what are the specific application of wood chipper in production ? This article will analyze from the perspective of the industrial wood processing industry, providing a clear and practical view.

Overview of wood chipper
Wood chipper machine is an important industrial mechanical equipment, whose main task is to cut, chop, grind all kinds of wood, wood scraps, mixed wood or waste from wood processing into wood chips of uniform size. This source of chips will then be used for many purposes such as producing MDF, HDF, OSB plywood, as raw material for cooking pulp, or pressing biomass pellets for industrial fuel.
In terms of structure, a conventional wood chipper consists of a sharp chipping blade system, a rotating shaft, a feeding unit, a chipping chamber and a high-power motor. Some modern machines are also integrated with an automatic feeding conveyor and an electronic controller to optimize productivity, ensure safe operation and save labor. The basic operating principle is to put the raw material into the chipping chamber, the blade rotates at high speed to chop the wood into chips according to the set size.
According to statistics from the Vietnam Timber Association, up to 70-80% of medium and large-scale wood processing enterprises have invested in wood chipper machines to standardize raw materials, reduce waste collection costs and increase recycling efficiency. In addition, some enterprises also take advantage of chipper machines to create wood chips for export, especially to the Japanese and Korean markets, where there is a very high demand for biomass fuel.
Thanks to its ability to handle large volumes, simple operation and low labor costs, wood chipper has become an indispensable equipment in the modern industrial wood production line. This is also an important link helping the wood industry move towards sustainable production, saving resources and reducing emissions to the environment.

Application of wood chipper in wood industry production
Standardizing raw materials for industrial board production
In the MDF, HDF, OSB board manufacturing industry, the requirements for input wood chip size are extremely strict to ensure the quality of plywood. Wood chipper helps to create wood chips with uniform size and suitable humidity, helping the plywood pressing process to take place smoothly, limiting blistering or cracking errors.
According to a report by the Vietnam Timber Association, more than 80% of industrial wood panel manufacturing enterprises currently use wood chipper machines to proactively source raw materials, reducing dependence on intermediary suppliers.
Recycling and utilizing waste
Wood factories often generate large amounts of wood scraps, scraps, and bark. If not recycled, this amount will become industrial waste, causing expensive treatment costs. Wood chipper helps recycle this waste source into wood chips that can continue to be used for board production, as raw material for pulp cooking or biomass pellet pressing. Thanks to that, businesses save 10-20% of raw material costs and reduce the amount of waste released into the environment.
Providing raw materials for the paper and pulp industry
Wood chips after chipping are an important input material for the paper industry. Wood chipper helps control the size of wood chips, avoids the situation where chips are too large and cause blockage in the pulp cooker, and optimizes the cellulose recovery rate. Thanks to that, the pulp cooking efficiency can increase up to 90%, helping businesses save significantly on production costs.
Biomass fuel generation
In addition to industrial applications, wood chips are also used to press pellets or burn directly in industrial boilers to replace coal and FO oil. This is a very notable trend in the context of policies to reduce CO₂ emissions being promoted.
Some businesses exporting wood pellets to Japan and Korea have confirmed that wood chipper is a mandatory equipment if they want to meet pellet quality standards.
Economic and environmental benefits when applying GREEN MECH wood chipper
The application of GREEN MECH wood chipper brings clear economic and environmental benefits to the wood processing industry. This device helps to utilize wood scraps and scraps into uniform wood chips, reducing the cost of purchasing new raw materials by 15-20%. The system operates automatically, with high productivity from 15-30 m³/hour, helping to save labor and ensure labor safety.
In addition, wood chips are also used to make biomass pellets to replace coal, reduce CO₂ emissions, and are environmentally friendly. Stable chip quality also contributes to reducing the defect rate in plywood or paper production. Thanks to that, GREEN MECH wood chipper helps businesses improve their competitiveness and develop sustainably according to the green production trend.
Popular wood chipper capacities today
Small capacity wood chipper (1 – 3 tons)
Small capacity wood chipper (1-3 tons/hour) is often used by household-scale production facilities or small carpentry workshops. This equipment is suitable for processing wood chips, tree branches, and miscellaneous wood into wood chips for mushroom cultivation, as bedding for livestock, or for small-scale boiler combustion. The advantages of this type of machine are low investment cost, easy operation and maintenance, but productivity is limited if large volumes of raw materials are to be processed.
Medium capacity wood chipper (5 – 10 tons)
Medium capacity wood chipper (5-10 tons/hour) is a popular choice for businesses producing industrial boards, biomass pellets, or supplying raw materials for the paper industry on a medium scale. With stable productivity and highly uniform output wood chips, this group of machines helps to proactively source raw materials and reduce the cost of purchasing wood chips from outside.
Many factories now use medium-capacity choppers as an important link to close the production process, save labor and limit the risk of raw material shortage.
Large capacity wood chipper (Over 10 tons)
Large capacity wood chipper (over 10 tons/hour) is designed specifically for large-scale factories or commercial wood chip exporting enterprises. With the ability to handle very large volumes of raw materials, the machine ensures that the output of wood chips has uniform size and moisture content, meeting export standards to strict markets such as Japan and Korea.
In addition, high productivity helps to significantly reduce labor costs and optimize modern production lines. However, the initial investment of large-capacity machines is often quite high, requiring businesses to carefully calculate financial problems.
