Wood shavings machine

Wood shavings machines are mainly used for the mass production of flake shavings with uniform thickness. They have a versatile output range of 300-2000kg per hour. Whether for domestic or commercial use, suitable models are available.
In addition, to meet customer needs, we can customize diesel-powered and mobile wood shaving machines.

The working principle of a wood shaving machine can be simply summarized as simulating manual wood planing, using high-speed rotation for cutting. The core component inside the machine is a rotating cutter head equipped with multiple sharp blades. Wood log enters the machine through the feed inlet, and when the wood comes into contact with the rotating blades, the blades cut the wood at an extremely high linear speed. The shavings are then discharged from the outlet under the centrifugal force and airflow generated by the rotating cutter head.

Blades are typically mounted on the cutter head at a specific angle to ensure smooth cutting. By adjusting the height or length of the blade extending from the cutter head, the thickness of the shavings produced can be precisely controlled.

Wood shavings can be used as bedding for horses, chickens, rabbits, and other animals and poultry, as fillings for the transport of fragile goods, as raw materials for particleboard (plywood), papermaking, and biomass fuel production, etc.

If the wood shavings are wet, they are not suitable for storage and cannot be used immediately. It is important to dry them before using them for various purposes. The rotary drum dryer works well for drying wood shavings.
Below is a video of a wood shaving dryer in operation sent by an American customer. He purchased an 800 model wood shaving dryer from us in 2024, and the machine’s drying effect is excellent.
