What is the mechanism of SL-216 drum wood chipper?
The SL-216 Máy băm gỗ trống is one of our flagship products and a leading wood chipper model in China. It is widely used in wood processing, paper production, power plants, boilers, and many other industries.
This drum wood chipper is highly versatile—it can process a wide range of raw materials, from branches to tree trunks, as well as waste wood and wood residues, turning them into high-quality wood chips. Equipped with a dust collection system, it enables eco-friendly production. The resulting wood chips can be used as fuel or fertilizer, significantly reducing labor costs.
With a simple structure, high output, and strong adaptability, the SL-216 operates based on a core mechanism involving a cutting disc and feeding system.
Structure and working process of the SL-216 drum wood chipper
The SL-216 drum wood chipper is composed of a cutting disc, blades, screen, feed chute, discharge chute, motor, pulley, housing, and other key components.
When raw materials enter through the feeding port, the high-speed rotating cutting disc brings them into contact with sharp blades, quickly chipping them into uniform pieces. Inside the chipping chamber, airflow generated by the disc’s fan blades helps discharge the wood chips efficiently. Dust and fine particles are collected by the dust collection system, reducing environmental pollution.
Working process overview：
Structure of the chipping disc
At the heart of the SL-216 drum wood chipper is its rotating chipping disc, made from high-strength alloy steel. The disc is equipped with multiple sharp blades arranged in a carefully engineered layout to ensure optimal chipping performance. One of the standout features of this model is the ability to adjust the blade angle, allowing precise control over the thickness of the wood chips.
Feeding system of the SL-216 drum wood chipper
During operation, wood is fed into the chipper through the inlet using a conveyor belt. The feeding speed can be adjusted to ensure smooth and continuous input. The machine is designed to handle various wood diameters, making it highly adaptable and widely used across multiple industries.
Cutting process of the SL-216 drum wood chipper
Once the wood reaches the chipping chamber, the chipping disc begins to rotate at high speed. The sharp blades strike the wood, shaving it into uniform chips. The resulting wood chips are efficiently expelled, preventing clogging and ensuring consistent discharge for further processing.
Chip collection system of the SL-216 drum wood chipper
fter chipping, the wood chips are discharged through the outlet into a collection unit. The SL-216 is equipped with a dust collection system that effectively captures wood dust and debris. This reduces environmental pollution and improves workplace safety and cleanliness.
