The application of wood chipper machines in wood processing – a solution to improve production efficiency.

In modern woodworking factories, optimizing material utilization and reducing labor costs are top priorities. And wood chippers are one of the devices that effectively solve this problem.

Besides quickly processing excess wood, wood chippers also open up new avenues for recycling and producing value-added products such as wood chips, pellets, and MDF. So, what are the application of wood chipper machines in wood processing and production, and why are these devices increasingly chosen by factories? Let’s explore this in the article below.

Overview of wood chipper machines in the wood processing industry

Wood chipper machine are specialized equipment used to grind wood into chips – an important input material for industries producing plywood, wood pellets, MDF, or for use as biomass fuel. With the wood processing industry booming and the demand for utilizing wood waste increasing, wood chippers have become an indispensable part of modern production lines.

Depending on the intended use, wood chippers can process a variety of materials such as logs, wood scraps, wood chips, branches, or leftover veneer. The application of wood chippers not only saves labor costs and improves efficiency, but also contributes to promoting green production – maximizing resource utilization and minimizing waste.

Today, many businesses have invested in high-capacity, highly automated wood chipping machines to integrate with other processing lines, thereby increasing competitiveness and expanding sustainable production scale.

Applications of wood chipper machines in wood processing at each stage of production.

Processing raw materials

Right from the raw material receiving stage – usually scrap wood, logs, short pieces, and scraps from plantations or logging facilities – wood chippers play a crucial role in bringing the material to standard sizes, ready for subsequent processes.

Using a shredder at the beginning of the production chain helps to:

  • Make full use of irregularly shaped wood.
  • Reduce the volume of wood for easier internal transport.
  • Stabilize input for wood chip or plywood processing lines.

Recycling waste products after sawing and peeling.

In sawmills and factories producing plywood, MDF, or veneer, there is a large amount of wood scrap, chips, and leftover edges after processing. Wood chippers can directly process these waste products into reusable wood chips, suitable for:

  • Wood pellet pressing
  • Made from MDF and HDF materials.
  • Paper or biochar production

This helps reduce waste, increase the value of materials, and aligns with a circular, green production model.

Prepare the materials for the pelletizing system.

For wood pellet production plants, standardizing the size of the input wood is mandatory. Wood chippers are responsible for the following tasks at this stage:

  • Cut the wood into standard sizes (10–30mm).
  • Ensure uniformity for optimal compatibility with the fine mill and pellet press.

Investing in a suitable shredding machine for the pressing system helps increase pellet pressing efficiency, reduce energy waste, and improve the quality of exported pellet products.

Wood chips have many applications in the paper industry, as fuel for furnaces, as bedding for barns, etc.

Wood chip production for export

For many businesses aiming to export wood chips (acacia, rubberwood, etc.), wood chipping machines are a key piece of equipment. The finished wood chips require:

  • Uniform size, no crumbs.
  • Minimize contamination with impurities, soil, and sand.
  • Complies with Japanese, Korean, and Chinese standards.

Using high-capacity industrial wood chippers (15–30 tons/hour) helps ensure timely delivery and maintain consistent batch quality – a crucial factor in the international wood chip market.

Preparing fuel for a biomass-fired boiler.

In many factories and enterprises that use biomass-fired boilers, wood chippers help transform waste materials such as wood chips, dry branches, and wood scraps into wood shavings – a suitable fuel for the boiler.

Benefit:

  • Take control of fuel sources and reduce dependence on coal and fuel oil.
  • Reduce boiler operating costs.
  • Reducing CO₂ emissions contributes to meeting ESG standards.

How does the application of wood chippering machines in wood processing improve production efficiency?

Wood chippers play a crucial role in improving production efficiency at wood processing plants.

This equipment facilitates the rapid and uniform processing of raw materials such as logs, wood scraps, branches, etc., into standard-sized wood chips. As a result, the entire downstream production line, including pelletizing, MDF/HDF board manufacturing, or biomass fuel compression, operates smoothly, significantly reducing waiting times and bottlenecks.

Besides standardizing input materials, wood chippers also effectively utilize wood waste – transforming it into valuable raw materials instead of discarding it, thereby increasing recovery rates and reducing material costs.

Furthermore, compared to manual labor or individual shredding equipment, industrial shredders can handle continuous, high-capacity processing, helping factories shorten production time, reduce labor costs, and optimize operating expenses.

Economic benefits from using wood chipper machines in wood processing.

In the context of the wood processing industry’s ever-increasing demands for productivity and resource optimization, wood chippers are emerging as a strategic solution that delivers significant economic value to businesses.

Optimize raw material costs and increase profit margins.

Instead of wasting excess wood after sawing, peeling, or processing, wood chippers allow for the efficient recycling of wood scraps, branches, and wood chips into usable wood chips for pellet production, MDF, particleboard, or biomass fuel. This not only reduces the cost of purchasing new raw materials but also generates additional revenue from materials previously considered waste.

Increase productivity and reduce operating costs.

With its ability to process quickly, continuously, and stably, wood chippers contribute to speeding up the entire production line. This allows businesses to shorten order completion times, reduce reliance on manual labor, and improve equipment efficiency. Simultaneously, standardizing input materials helps protect downstream equipment such as grinders and presses – reducing wear and tear, saving maintenance costs, and extending system lifespan.

Increase competitiveness and expand production scale.

Owning a wood chipping system that matches the capacity and production goals not only helps businesses optimize internal costs but also enhances operational autonomy – especially when serving export markets that require strict wood chip quality standards. Businesses can expand production without incurring corresponding costs in terms of personnel or time.
