216 MODEL DRUM TYPE WOOD CHIPPER FOR SALE
If you are looking for a small to medium scale wood and biomass process machine, and need a high capacity wood chipping machine, then this model drum chipper is exactly what you need.
The KXC216 drum-type wood chipper is widely used in the biomass energy crushing field. It is mainly used to cut logs (with a diameter of less than 20 cm), branches, bark, coconut shells (excluding fresh coconut shells), EFB (empty palm fruit bunches), and other biomass raw materials into uniform chips of less than 30 mm in size. It features high output, high-quality wood chips, low energy consumption, and stable operation, making it one of the key pieces of crushing equipment in paper mills, wood-based panel factories, biomass power plants, biomass pellet fuel production and processing plants, and large-scale composting plants.

KXC216 55KW DRUM WOOD CHIPPER DETAILS IN WORKSHOP




KXC216 model drum chipper is composed of main chipper base, knife roller, up and down feed roller, feeding belt and discharging belt, hydraulic buffer system and electrical control system. The whole machine is made of high-quality thickened steel plates, which is sturdy and durable and can still operate stably when processing hardwood.
KXC216 DRUM TYPE WOOD CHIPPER PARTS CONSUMPTION



The main wear parts of this KXC216 drum chipper consist of three parts: the flying knife, the fixed knife, and the conveyor belt in the feeding section. The flying knife needs to be sharpened regularly, but the sharpening frequency depends on the material of the knife, the hardness of the wood, and its moisture content. Generally, softwood and fresh wood with high moisture content require much less sharpening. However, harder blades are not always better; the material and angle of the blades need to be selected based on the characteristics of the raw material to achieve the best output and operating performance.

The video shows 216 model drum chipper using wood offcuts with a moisture content of approximately 60%. It’s clear to see that the machine maintained smooth feeding, stable cutting without clogging, and achieved a tested capacity of 4-6 tons per hour, producing wood chips with good uniformity.
THE RAW MATERIAL SUITABLE FOR KXC216 DRUM WOOD CHIPPER





The 216 model drum chipper can process a wide range of materials, including most agricultural waste and biomass forest waste. For wood logs, the wood logs diameter is better no more than 200mm. And for agricultural waste, it depends on the actual conditions. The drum chipper is designed to handle these different raw materials efficiently, turning them into uniform chips that can be used for various applications like biomass energy or animal feed.
- Coconut shell
- Bamboo
- EFB
- Hard wood logs
- Soft wood logs
- MDF plates
- Tree branches
- Wood veener
- Waste from furniture factory
- Waste from paper factory
- Other biomass or Industrial waste

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What causes uneven wood chip size in wood chippers? How to solve it?
The main reason is worn blades or excessive distance between the fly knife and the stationary blade. The solution is: first, stop the machine and disconnect the power. Then check the blades. If the blades are dull, they need to be sharpened; if they are severely worn, replace them with new blades. If the distance between the stationary blade and the fly knife is too large, adjust the distance.
Can the KXC216 drum chipper process logs with larger diameters? Will it clog?
This model is more suitable for processing logs with a diameter of no more than 20 cm. If the diameter is larger than 20 cm, wood logs need to be fed one by one. If the drum chipper is overloaded, it will automatically stop feeding. If severe clogging occurs, stop the machine immediately for inspection and solve it.
What precautions should be taken when using a drum type wood chipper?
After use, clean the chips residue inside the machine. Regularly check the bearings and add grease. Regularly check the tension of the driving belt; if it is too loose, adjust and tighten it. Regularly check the flying blades wear and sharpen or replace it as needed.
Can you provide technical support if we have no installation experience?
We will provide a detailed installation and debugging manual with the equipment and can also provide online or video guidance to assist you in the installation and debugging process. If needed, we can arrange for professional engineers to provide one-stop services including installation, debugging, and operation training on-site to ensure everything goes smoothly.
What is a good wood chipper?
Wood chippers are not high-precision machines and generally do not require highly automated control. However, they must be reasonably designed and robust enough. This is because when cutting raw materials, from the feeding part to the high-speed cutting of the blades roller, the machine itself needs to be able to withstand high loads. Only a robust and durable wood chipper can maintain an extremely low failure rate.
Wood chipper drum vs dis, which one is better?
Drum wood chippers and disc chippers are used for different raw materials. Drum chippers can process a wider range of raw materials, while disc chippers are only suitable for logs.
