Drum Chippers

Drum Chipper for Wood Pellet Production Lines

The HENGMU TCZL560 drum chipper is the ideal first step of a complete wood pellet production line. It reduces logs, branches, slabs, edge trims and bamboo into uniform wood chips, which can then be further crushed by a hammer mill and dried before pelletizing. A stable, consistent chip size is essential for producing EN A1 grade wood pellets, and this machine is engineered to deliver exactly that.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty welded steel rotor with dynamically balanced blades for smooth, low-vibration operation and a long service life.
• Replaceable alloy knives: the fly knives and bed knives are made of wear-resistant alloy steel and can be re-sharpened and reused multiple times, keeping operating costs low. (Spare wood chipper knives are available from stock.)
• Adjustable chip size: the screen and knife settings allow you to adjust the output chip length to match the requirements of your hammer mill or biomass plant.
• Bottom feed roller grips the material and ensures steady, high-efficiency feeding even with short or crooked logs.
• Rugged structure: reinforced chassis and bearings designed for continuous industrial operation.

Typical Applications

The TCZL560 drum chipper is widely used in wood pellet plants, particle board and MDF factories, sawmills, and biomass power plants. It processes fresh logs, forest residues, plywood scraps, bamboo and other woody biomass, turning waste material into valuable, sellable wood chips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What raw materials can the drum chipper process?
Logs, tree branches, slabs, plywood edge trims, bamboo and other woody biomass up to the maximum feed diameter of the infeed chute.

Can I adjust the wood chip size?
Yes. Chip length is controlled by the knife settings, and chip thickness is controlled by the screen size, so you can match the output to your hammer mill.

Do you provide spare knives?
Yes, we stock fly knives and bed knives for the TCZL560 and can ship them together with your machine or separately at any time.
