Brief Introduction to Wood Crusher?
Wood crusher is ideal equipment for producing various types of wood products. Wood pellets or biomass briquettes production line also needs crushing equipment. Wood crusher is specially designed to crush branches, tree roots, slab scraps and so on for further production. It occupies little room which makes it quite popular in small-size biomass fuel plants.
Working Principle of Wood Crusher
The crusher includes two inlets, one is for feeding wood branches and wood logs, the other is for feeding stalks and wood chips. Besides, it has both blades and hammers. Blades can cut the wood into chips and shavings. Hammers are rotating at high speed and striking the big size materials into fine sawdust. When the sawdust reaches the required size, it can get through the mesh of the sieve and discharge from the outlet.
Benefits of Wood Chipper
The wood chipper makes the cleaning up process far quicker than the amount of time other measures to get rid of the wood would take. After the wood is chipped and in one pile, the area is clean and you can use the wood chips for other purposes.
Having a wood chipper can save time and energy. There is no need to take the hassle of driving to the dump repeatedly to dispose of the trees or exert energy into other methods of getting rid of the waste. Wood chippers are quite manageable and not even remotely challenging to operate.
Other methods of getting rid of trees and their branches, such as burning, are harmful to the environment. The wood chipper safely converts the large chunks of wood into smaller pieces without affecting anyone or harming the environment.
The wood chipper converts large pieces of wood into smaller pieces that are very useful. The little wood chips can be used for:
- Mulching - the mulch is good for plants and can be used in gardening.
- Pressed wood - The wood chips can create pressed timber, which is used to make various wooden objects.
- Biofuel - Using special enzymes, the wood chips can be turned into biofuel. This can fuel cars or other machinery.
Types of Wood Chipper
Drum Chipper
It is a chipper with a large horizontal drum with blades. These blades are found inside the drum and are set at regular intervals. This sort of wood chipper is good for handling larger loads and fibrous materials.
Disk Chipper
This chipper has a vertical disk with inset blades that cut wood at an angle of 45-degree. This type of wood chipper is fast and energy-efficient. In addition, it uniformly cuts chips! It is good for smaller branches but is not suitable for fibrous materials.
Screw Chipper
This sort of chipper has blades that are shaped like a large screw. The rotating mechanism of these blades helps pull the wood through the chipper. The plus point of this chipper is that it produces uniformed chips. In order to change the size of the chips, this chipper will require you to change its blades.
Suitable Material
wood branches, bamboo, couch grass, corn and sorghum stalks, wheat straw, etc.
Applicable Industry
Our wood crusher can be used in paper making, high-density board(HDB), fiberboard, chipboard, edible fungi cultivation, biopellets production, biomass briquettes production, boiler burning, etc.
Difference Between a Wood Shredder and a Wood Chipper
Structure
Let’s talk about the overall structure. Unlike a wood chipper, a shredder does not have a long waste tube. While the chipper only has one hopper, some shredders have two.
Blades
With a shredder for composting, the blades are blunt, while in a chipper, they are sharp for fine cuts. As a result, the way that both tools break down the materials differs greatly.
Suitability
The use of a wood chipper is recommended for dealing with massive wood waste, such as huge branches over 4 inches in diameter. It can be swallowed by the machine to produce chips of similar size. A shredder is best for you if your yard produces more soft organic materials such as leaves, broken twigs, and similar debris. The machine can handle yard debris up to 6 inches in diameter.
Driving Force
Nevertheless, both machines need power to operate. Depending on the materials’ diameter, a wood chipper may require more power. Less power is required for materials with smaller diameters. What kind of trash you intend to remove will have a significant impact on your choice.
In the use of wood crusher machine, the first thing you need to do is to start the machine and make the equipment idle for a few minutes. Check whether the operating voice is unusual and the rotating direction is correct, then put the material for crushing. Once the problem is found, users should stop the machine in time for maintenance. Do not maintain the machine when it is running so as to avoid accidentally injure.
Users need to check the raw material before crushing. There must not be stones and metal foreign bodies in the raw material in order to avoid damage to the machine. If blocking occurs in the process of using wood crusher machine, it is strictly prohibited to put the hand in the machine. Instead, the machine should be stop for checking.
After the crushing is completed, the equipment should be idle for a few minutes and then shutdown, so that the remaining raw materials can be completely discharged, then clean the wood crusher machine and make daily maintenance.
Raw materials that can be processed by wood crushers are various. Such as logs, tree branches, roots, wood scraps, wood chips, crop straws, bamboo chips, carton boxes, etc. But there is a standard for the size of the materials to be crushed. Generally speaking, it can crush tree branches and stems with a diameter of 5cm-50cm.
Many fiber stalks like coconut shells, corn stems, bamboo, couch grass, sorghum stalk, rice husk, straw, and cotton stems are also common materials for the wood crushing machine. After crushing, the materials are always particles, sawdust, or powder.
Precautions About Using the Wood Crusher Machine
When processing logs or branches, wood shredders have no requirements for the humidity of the wood, but the humidity of the wood is not too large. If the water content is too large, the structural rigidity of the wood is reduced and it is not easily broken, and the productivity and output of the machine are reduced.
In the use of the wood crusher, it is forbidden to put wood with nails and other metal objects, because the machine uses sharp sharpened blades, and this kind of blade has no problem in cutting wood materials, but if you enter the nails, it will cause damage to the wood shredder.
The maintenance of the wood shredder is calculated according to the number of work hours performed on the wood shredder, that is, each time the machine completes some accumulated work, the parts of the machine need to be maintained. Regular maintenance is required depending on the use of the machine, the material for crushing, and changes in the operating load of the motor.
Choosing The Right Wood Crusher Equipment For Your Needs
Type Of Material
A wood chipper may be the better choice if you primarily work with large woody materials. However, a wood shredder may be more suitable if you handle small branches, leaves, and green materials.
Output Requirements
Consider the size and texture of the end product you require. Wood chippers produce uniform wood chips, while wood shredders create smaller, more irregular particles.
Noise Levels
If you need to work in a residential or noise-sensitive area, you may want to opt for a wood shredder, which tends to be quieter than a wood chipper.
Budget And Maintenance
Wood chippers and shredders come in various price ranges, so consider your budget when making your choice. Additionally, both types of machines require regular maintenance, such as sharpening or replacing cutting blades and checking safety features.
Drive
At present, there are diesel engines and electric motors in wood crusher machine, so we can choose the drive according to our site. If it is convenient to use electricity, we can directly use three-phase electricity to provide power for wood crusher machine. However, if it is in the wild or in the case of insufficient electricity, choosing diesel engine as the drive will better report to the professional production.
Matching Power
The machine manual and nameplate contain the power kilowatts of the motor supporting the crusher. It often indicates not a fixed number, but a certain range. There are two reasons: one is that the power required to crush different raw materials varies greatly. For example, under the same working conditions, the power required to crush sorghum is twice as much as that required to crush corn. Second, when using different sieve holes, it has a great impact on the load of the crusher.
What determines the crushing efficiency of a wood crusher?
The wood crusher can crush a wide range of raw materials, a wide range of applications, and multiple functions. Different raw materials have different growth structures and material densities. For example, redwood, pine, etc. are less likely to be broken, while straw , weeds, etc. are easier to break, so the choice of materials has a great impact on the output of the wood crusher.
The Moisture Content of Raw Materials
Too high moisture content not only makes the crusher pulverization rate reduced, but also the requirements of material particles are too small, it is easy to block the screen, so we dry the raw materials with too high moisture content and then crusher, it is easier to handle.
Particle Size
This situation is not difficult to understand. The output of wood chippers is definitely higher than that of wood hammer mill. The finer the powder, the lower the yield. Product granularity also has a great impact on output. Wood that does not meet the requirements will be continuously crushed in the equipment until it is crushed into materials that meet the specifications before leaking from the screen.
Power Issues
Considering power issues, blindly increasing power will not completely increase the output of the equipment, and may also damage the wood crusher. Therefore, different types of motors are generally equipped with suitable motors. When we buy wood crushers, The key is to consult a manufacturer whether it can match the required power.
How to Improve the Production Capacity of Wood Crusher?
Choose Suitable Equipment
When choosing wood crusher, we should choose the appropriate model and specification according to the production demand and material characteristics. Generally speaking, wood crusher’s production capacity is related to its rotational speed, blade number and blade quality. Therefore, when purchasing wood crusher, we should choose equipment with moderate speed, large number of blades and good quality to ensure its high production capacity.
Pay Attention to the Maintenance of Equipment
Regular inspection and maintenance of wood crusher can ensure that the equipment is in good working condition and reduce the possibility of failure. Specifically, the accumulated materials and sundries inside the equipment should be cleaned regularly to keep the ventilation of the equipment smooth; Check the blade wear of the equipment regularly and replace the seriously worn blade in time; Lubricate and fasten the equipment regularly to ensure the normal operation of all parts of the equipment.
Reasonable Adjustment of Wood Crusher’s Working Parameters
Working parameters include feeding speed, discharging granularity, etc. Too fast or too slow feeding speed will affect the production capacity of wood crusher. Therefore, in actual operation, the feeding speed should be reasonably adjusted according to the material characteristics and equipment performance to ensure that the equipment can work in the best condition.
Wood Crusher Common Fault Problems And Solutions
Do you hear a rubbing or knocking sound? You don’t know the cause, but it certainly doesn’t seem normal. Chances are, small pieces of metal or rocks are stuck in the machine’s rotor or counter blade. To find out, stop the shredder and switch it to service mode. This allows you to unlock and open the maintenance door. This procedure depends on the type of your machine. For precise instructions, see the operating instructions. It is important to check the condition of the shredding tools and counter knives here. They may have been damaged by foreign objects, in which case they need to be replaced.
What does it mean if your machine’s main drive frequently reverses, first in one direction and then in the other? Usually, it means the crushing tool and counter knife are worn out. Simply rotate the tools or replace them if necessary. However, depending on the model series, the rotor or cutting frame may also show signs of wear. Then you have to examine them more carefully and take further action.
Does your control panel indicate that the temperature of the shredder bearings is over 80 degrees Celsius? There could be several reasons for this.
- Insufficient lubrication. Check for oil or grease leaks. Replace the seals and apply new grease.
- Dirt has been collected in the bearings. This can cause increased friction and higher temperatures. Clean and relubricate the bearings. Tip: Always check bearings for mis-assembly. This can also be the cause of high temperatures.
Was your shredder running smoothly before the rotor came to a sudden hard stop causing the machine to go into fault mode? Switch it to service mode and open the service door. Then follow the instructions in the operator’s manual. If necessary, empty the shredding chamber and remove any large pieces of metal or stone. Check for damage to the crushing tools and counter knives.
What should you do if the output of your shredder or pelletizer is unsatisfactory because the particles are too large? There are two possible reasons for using a shredder.
- The screen hole size is too large. Installing a screen with smaller holes.
- The shredding tool is worn, increasing the distance to the counter knife. In this case, rotate the tool or replace it. And do not forget to correct the cutting gap if necessary.
