FMW Wood Chip Re-Chipper

 

Optimize Your Chip Quality with FMWs Re-Chipper

A reliable wood chip re-chipper is essential for maintaining consistent chip quality and maximizing yield. The FMW Re-Chipper addresses the challenges of oversized and over-thick chips in the material flow.

The global pulp and paper machinery market is expected to grow. To keep pace with this growth and maintain a competitive edge, it’s crucial to invest in technology that optimizes production efficiency and reduces costs. Inefficient chip handling can lead to lower yields, wasted resources, and increased energy consumption.

By efficiently cutting oversized chips to the perfect size, the FMW Re-Chipper ensures optimal chip quality for downstream processes, ultimately improving your yield and reducing costs.

Keyfeatures:

  • FMW Re-Chipper is designed with a multi V-spout for optimal gravity infeed
  • High speed disc with max. number of knives to avoid fines production
  • Rigid “knife-through-disc” design to process all hard & softwood species
  • Easy access to knives and bed knife
  • Prepared for air re-circulation

How it works

The FMW Re-Chipper is used to cut oversized and over-thick chips which are separated during chip screening.

The material to be processed is fed into the chipping spout. Inside the Re-Chipper, a chipping disc rotates and cuts the material to the desired length. The chips are then blown back onto the Chip Screen for re-screening.

The chipping disc is easy to reach to facilitate regular maintenance.

This process improves production efficiency, quality, and productivity while reducing operating costs, raw material usage, and energy consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does a wood chip re-chipper do?

A wood chip re-chipper cuts oversized and over-thick chips, which are separated during screening, down to the correct size.

This allows previously oversized material to be reintroduced into the process as usable, uniform chips instead of being lost as waste, directly improving overall yield.

What is the capacity of the FMW Re-Chipper?

The FMW Re-Chipper (Type WRC-1500) handles up to 130 m³/h, depending on the configuration.

The system is available as a standalone machine or combined with the FMW Chip Screen as a complete screening and re-chipping solution.

How much maintenance does the Re-Chipper require?

The FMW Re-Chipper is designed for low maintenance, with easily accessible, changeable, and re-grindable knives.

The rigid knife-through-disc design and easy access to the cutting components allow for quick servicing with minimal downtime.

Can the Re-Chipper be used as a standalone machine?

Yes, the FMW Re-Chipper is available either as part of the FMW Chip Screen system or as a single, standalone machine.

This flexibility allows it to be integrated into new or existing chip screening setups, depending on your facility’s requirements.
