Installation of a 20-ton wood chipper in Can Tho – An efficient wood processing line solution by GREEN MECH

As part of the strategy to enhance wood processing capacity in the Mekong Delta region, many businesses are transforming by investing in modern industrial equipment with high capacity and durability.

A standout example is the installation of a 20-ton wood chipper in Can Tho carried out by GREEN MECH – an optimal solution that allows customers to proactively manage wood chip supply, reduce production costs, and meet increasingly stringent market demands. This project represents not only an equipment upgrade but also a sustainable approach to strengthening the local wood processing value chain.

Customer Requirements in Can Tho

For this project, the customer sought to invest in a high-capacity wood chipping system to produce wood chips for in-house processing or supply to industrial partners. During the site survey and consultation, GREEN MECH’s technical team identified several key priorities from the customer:

• The machine must have a capacity of 20 tons/hour or more to meet large orders.
• Ability to process whole fresh logs, including species such as acacia and eucalyptus.
• Machine design must fit the existing facility layout without requiring discharge pits or recessed foundations.
• The system must be easy to maintain, simple to operate, and capable of long-term stable operation.

Based on these requirements, GREEN MECH proposed and installed the GM-20DC model – a horizontal-feed 20-ton/hour wood chipper manufactured in Vietnam, optimized for local production conditions.

Introduction to the GREEN MECH GM-20DC Horizontal-Feed Wood Chipper

The GM-20DC model is a heavy-duty industrial wood chipper specifically designed to process fresh logs with diameters of up to 250 mm. The machine is equipped with a large-diameter rotor of up to 1,200 mm, combined with 8 alloy cutting blades measuring 380 x 145 x 16 mm, allowing it to produce uniform wood chips that meet technical standards for use across various processing industries.

A key feature of this model is its horizontal feed and bottom-discharge design, eliminating the need for chip storage pits typically required in traditional vertical-feed chippers. This significantly reduces foundation costs and installation time, making it ideal for existing factory layouts.

The entire drive system is powered by a 110 kW SIEMENS motor running at 960 RPM – a world-leading brand in industrial motors. This motor provides stable and powerful chipping performance, high durability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance for long-term operation.

Smart Control Cabinet – Automatic Feed Adjustment

Accompanying the wood chipper is a synchronized control cabinet, custom-designed by GREEN MECH to industrial standards. The cabinet uses control devices imported from Taiwan, South Korea, or Vietnam, with a powder-coated anti-rust steel enclosure, a well-organized layout, and user-friendly operation.

One standout feature of the control cabinet is its ability to automatically adjust feed speed according to the actual load of the main motor. Specifically, if the motor load exceeds the preset threshold, the system reduces the amount of wood fed into the machine to protect it, then automatically restores the feed rate once the load stabilizes. This ensures the machine always operates within safe limits, minimizing damage and extending the overall lifespan of the system.

Additionally, the cabinet integrates an INVT inverter, allowing soft start, reducing electrical shocks, protecting the motor, and saving energy. Other features, such as phase protection, current monitoring, warning lights, and an emergency stop button, are fully included to ensure safe operation.

Practical Benefits After Installing the 20-Ton Wood Chipper in Can Tho

Once the 20-ton horizontal-feed wood chipper was operational, the customer in Can Tho observed significant improvements in production:

• Doubled wood chip production capacity compared to the previous equipment.
• Uniform chip quality without breakage, meeting output standards.
• Stable operation with minimal manual intervention, reducing labor requirements.
• No need for discharge pits, shortening installation time and costs.
• Energy savings thanks to the smart load adjustment mechanism.

Using the 20-ton horizontal-feed wood chipper also enables the customer to proactively manage raw material supply, supporting potential expansion into pellet production, MDF boards, or supplying industrial paper processing partners in the future.
