How does an automated wood crusher help businesses save on labor costs?
Labor costs are getting higher and higher, while finding experienced people to operate machinery is not easy. Many wood workshops are currently in a difficult situation due to both lack of workers and high costs.
In this context, the automated wood crusher becomes a valuable solution. Not only does it help reduce the amount of labor required, this equipment also improves efficiency and saves operating costs significantly.
So how exactly does an automated wood crusher help businesses save on labor costs? Let’s find out right away.

Overview of automatic wood crusher
Sawdust crusher is a specialized equipment used to crush all kinds of wood, wood chips, peeled boards, pallets, and even waste from the wood processing industry into chips, sawdust, or wood powder. What’s special is that instead of requiring many workers to operate the machine, feed materials, or adjust manually, this system operates almost completely automatically.
What is automation in wood crusher?
Automation in wood crushers is understood as the integration of control technologies such as PLC, inverter, safety sensors and intelligent feeding systems. Thanks to that, the machine can:
-
Automatically receive raw materials, adjust appropriate grinding speed.
-
Automatically starts and stops when there is a problem or out of material.
-
Minimize manual intervention from the operator.
Simply put, if the traditional wood crusher requires 2-3 people to operate the machine per shift, the automated version only requires 1 person to supervise and does not need to operate directly continuously.

Who is this device suitable for?
Automatic wood crusher is especially suitable for businesses:
-
Has medium to large production scale.
-
Want to save on labor costs and stabilize long-term production.
-
Currently applying automatic production lines (such as pelleting, drying, packaging…) in the biomass energy industry, MDF and plywood production, or wood chip export.
This is not just a technical device, but a step forward from manual production to modern industry – where efficiency, safety and cost savings are top priorities.
Detailed analysis: How does an automated wood crusher save labor costs?
In many wood processing factories, the cost of hiring workers for the raw material crushing stage always accounts for a large proportion. With traditional wood crushers, each shift usually requires 2-3 people to feed, control and troubleshoot. But when switching to an automated wood crusher, the business only needs 1 person to supervise the entire process. The machine can feed itself, adjust its speed and stop when an error is detected, significantly reducing the number of direct workers.
Another advantage is that the machine does not require highly skilled workers. The control interface is simple and easy to operate, so even new people can work after a few training sessions. This helps businesses reduce recruitment and training costs, and avoid dependence on old personnel.
In addition, thanks to the smart sensor system, the machine automatically stops when overloaded, jammed, etc., helping to reduce production interruption time. The operator does not need to be on duty continuously, but only needs to monitor error messages and handle them when necessary, avoiding wasting working hours.
In fact, a pellet factory in Binh Duong showed that after switching to an automatic crusher, they reduced the number of people per shift from 3 to 1, saving more than 20 million VND per month. For many factories, this is a one-time investment solution, saving long-term and creating stability in operation.
Comparison: Conventional wood crusher and automatic wood crusher
| Criteria | Conventional wood crusher | Automatic wood crusher |
|---|---|---|
| Number of operating staff | 3–4 people/shift | 1-2 supervisors |
| Feeding | Handmade | Automatic by conveyor or dosing system |
| Control | Manual, using mechanical switch | Automatic by PLC, easy to operate touch screen |
| Stability | Depends on operator skill | Stability, sensor control and intelligent system |
| Troubleshooting time | Slow, easy to cause long stoppage | Early warning, automatic stop, quick handling |
| Long term operating costs | High (labor, wear and tear, operating errors) | Lower thanks to reduced manpower and equipment protection |
| Work performance | Fluctuating, human dependent | Stable, can improve productivity up to 20% |
| Scalability | Need to increase staff | Can keep the same staff, expand the chain easily |
