From Straw to Pallet Raw Material: How a Drum Wood Chipper Transforms Efficiency in Wood Processing

For pallet manufacturers, consistent raw material supply isn’t just a challenge—it’s the foundation of production stability. Many companies still rely on manual sorting and low-efficiency chipping methods that lead to uneven particle sizes, inconsistent quality, and high labor costs. That’s where our drum-type wood chipper comes in—not as an upgrade, but as a game-changer.

This machine is engineered for real-world conditions: from agricultural waste like straw and corn stalks to hardwood logs up to 40 cm in diameter. It processes diverse feedstocks into uniform chips—perfect for pelletizing, panel board blending, or direct use in pallet manufacturing.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Chipper

Unlike traditional flatbed models, our drum chipper features:

  • Quick-change blades – Reduce downtime by up to 40% during maintenance
  • Hydraulic cover system – Ensures safe operation while improving throughput
  • Adjustable chip size – From 3mm to 25mm depending on your downstream needs
Performance Metric Value
Max hourly output 8–12 tons/hour (depending on material density)
Infeed diameter range Up to 40 cm (logs) / 15 cm (straw bundles)
Chip consistency (standard deviation) ±2 mm across batch

Real Results from Real Clients

A European pallet manufacturer using this chipper reported a 35% reduction in raw material waste within three months after switching from hand-fed shredders. They also cut their labor cost per ton by 28%, thanks to automated feeding and minimal operator intervention.

Another client in Southeast Asia, processing rice straw into pallet-grade chips, saw a 20% increase in yield due to better moisture control and uniform particle size—critical for bonding in laminated boards.

"Let every piece of biomass count — whether it's a straw stalk or a fallen branch."

If you're tired of inconsistent chip quality or unreliable supply chains, this isn't just another machine—it’s a strategic investment in operational resilience.

You may be asking: “Is my current setup holding me back?” If so, let’s talk. We’ve helped over 70+ factories optimize their raw material prep—and we’re ready to do the same for you.
