How One Wood Pallet Manufacturer Cut Labor Costs by 40% — With Just One Machine

In the competitive world of pallet manufacturing, time and efficiency aren’t just advantages—they’re survival tools. That’s why we’re sharing real results from a leading European wood pallet producer who replaced three outdated shredders with a single high-efficiency drum wood chipper.

The Problem: Slow, Manual, and Inefficient

Before switching to the new drum chipper, this factory relied on three traditional models that each processed only 5–7 tons per hour—totaling around 15–21 tons/hour. Operators spent over 4 hours daily just maintaining blades and clearing jams. The downtime wasn’t just costly—it was demoralizing for staff.

“We were losing money every shift—not because our business was bad, but because our equipment was holding us back.”
— Marco L., Plant Manager, Germany-based Pallet Solutions GmbH

The Solution: A Single Drum Chipper That Does Triple Duty

After installing one high-capacity drum wood chipper (rated at 18–20 tons/hour), the same team now processes up to 3x more material—with fewer workers, less maintenance, and zero downtime due to clogs.

  • Productivity Boost: 1 machine = 3 old ones (based on actual output logs)
  • Ease of Use: Hydraulic-open chamber + quick-change blade system reduces setup time by 70%
  • Energy Savings: 25% lower power consumption vs. older models (verified via kWh meter data)

What makes it stand out isn’t just speed—it’s adaptability. Whether you're making pallets, producing biomass fuel, or supplying particleboard mills, this chipper adjusts seamlessly with customizable screen sizes and feed controls.

Why Now? Because Efficiency Is No Longer Optional

As global regulations tighten around emissions and labor standards, smart manufacturers are turning to machines that do more with less. This isn’t just about cutting costs—it’s about future-proofing operations in an era where automation is expected, not admired.

Let every minute count. If your current shredder feels like a bottleneck rather than a tool, it might be time to rethink what’s possible.
