For pallet manufacturers, time is money—and every second wasted on inefficient wood processing adds up. That’s why the efficient drum wood chipper has become a game-changer in modern wood processing lines. Designed specifically for the pallet industry, this machine delivers faster throughput, lower maintenance costs, and improved safety compared to traditional chippers.
Unlike older models that require frequent blade replacements and manual feeding, today’s drum wood chipper features a robust rotor design capable of handling logs up to 30 cm in diameter at a rate of 1.2–1.5 tons per hour—up to 40% faster than conventional systems.
One manufacturer in Poland reported cutting their labor costs by 27% after switching from a fixed-blade chipper to a drum-style model. With automated feed rollers and self-cleaning mechanisms, downtime due to clogging or blade wear dropped from 12 hours/month to just 3 hours.
In a case study conducted across 8 European pallet plants using our client’s high-efficiency drum chipper, average production increased by 22% within two months—with no additional staff required. The machines also reduced wood waste by 15%, thanks to precise chip sizing (typically 2–5 cm) ideal for particleboard and fiberboard applications in pallet manufacturing.
What makes it even more attractive? Maintenance is now a 15-minute task once a week instead of daily inspections. The modular blade system allows quick swaps without tools—saving an estimated 10+ hours per month per unit.
As sustainability becomes a top priority in global supply chains, this chipper aligns perfectly with eco-friendly practices. Its energy-efficient motor uses only 7.5 kW/hour per ton processed—about 20% less than older models—and produces uniform chips that improve combustion efficiency in biomass boilers used by many forward-thinking producers.
Whether you're scaling up your operations or optimizing existing lines, integrating a drum wood chipper isn’t just smart—it’s essential for staying competitive in 2025 and beyond.
