Components Replacement
1 Change of blade
Disassembly of blades: After the machine completely stops, loosen the cover lid tightening screw, join cover lid and lifting arm with bolt, start the oil cylinder to lift up lifting arm and the cover lid, rotate the safety plate so that lifting arm is fixed sturdy, then cut off power supply, unscrew the fastening bolts, tapping slightly, then blades can be taken down.
Installation of blade:
a. Clean up the contact area for installing blades with compressed air or other effective methods carefully.
b. According to the sequence of disassembling blades, put back blades
c. Tighten blades fastening bolt with delivery attached torque dupler and torque spanner.
Blade sharpening: When blades need to be sharpened, need add cooling fluid, the weight deviation of two blades cannot exceed 25g.
2 Change of hammer
After the machine completely stops, the feed hopper stop rotation, loosen screw on the side, start the oil cylinder to flip over feed hopper and the cover, turn the insurance plate to support the feed hopper tightly, then cut off power supply, unscrew the fastening bolts, tapping slightly, then hammer can be taken down.
Installation of hammer
a. Clean up the contact area for installing hammers with compressed air or other effective methods carefully.
b. According to the sequence of disassembling hammer, put back hammers, guarantee the dynamic balance of the rotor.
c. Tighten the fastening bolt with delivery attached torque enhancer and torque wrench
Hammer repair: When welding repair the hammers, must add cooling fluid, the weight deviation cannot exceed 15g.
3 Change of dead knife
a. Loosen and take down the two clip keys or fastening screws which on the chassis.
b. Use dead knife disassembly tool or pull out the dead knife by hand directly.
c. Loosen the dead knife fastening bolt, take down the dead knife and change
Dead knife sharpening
There are 4 cutting edges for dead knife, can exchange the other side edge if one cutting edge is blunt. Sharpen the dead knife when all cutting edges are worn. When sharpening, must add coolant, and ensure the cutting edge angle.
4 Change of screen
a. lock the below 2 holes with the special rod.
b. Lock the 2 holes beside the feeding cover with suitable rod.
c. Remove the following screws
d. Use hydraulic to overturn the rotor cover
e. Change the screen
Product Structure

The wood chipper is mainly composed of chassis, dead knife base, dead knife, chipping rod, rotor, main shaft, hammer or blade, upper feeding mechanism, below feeding mechanism, feeding device, discharge device, hydraulic system and electric control system.
Product Features
1) Rotor rotation speed adjustable. According to the customer's specific requirements, the machine can be modified, such as adjusting the corresponding parts to change the rotation speed of the rotor, to meet the different requirements of customers on discharging granularity and production capacity.
2) Unique dead knife design. Thanks to the decades of experience, we create a special shock absorbing buffering dead knife design and already got the patent. This design protects the rotor, decreased the maintenance cost and extends the life span of the machine.
3) Forced auto feeding system. Start the oil pump, oil cylinder piston extend-retract, swing device rises or falls, then the upper feed roller adapt to the nature of feedstock automatically. This function enables the machine can adapt to wide range raw material and the feed process is more smooth. We got the patent for it.
4) Easy maintenance. Thanks to the hydraulic system, it is easy and convenient to open the machine cover to check or replace the cutter, screen mesh and so on.
5) Chain conveyor. The feeding chain conveyor is made of high manganese steel with the thickness 10mm, which is a typical anti-wear steel, cast organization is austenite and carbide. Via the water toughening treatment, the surface would be rapidly hardening and that make its internal remains the good toughness and deformability under the condition of strong impact and extrusion and the hardening layer with good wear resistance. These characteristics determine that the service life can be up to 22000 hours, which is better than the traditional belt's 2000 hours. In addition, the traditional belt' s with small friction coefficient which will cause the feed speed to be slow and not smooth, but the chain type solved all the above questions.
6) Perfect chain conveyor length. The length of the chain conveyor is matched with the machine running, which can achieve the best machine performance.

7) Dual control, One is fixed electrical cabinet and the other is remote control, that makes the operation more safe and convenient.
8) Automatically frequency conversion contorl for feeding system. Feed roller and chain conveyor can be adjusted automatically by the frequency conversion that makes the operation is safe and simple. According to the specification and quantity of raw materials, the feeding speed can be adjusted automatically to save energy and promote efficiency. It can adjust feed speed automatically according to the load of main motor to avoid idle running of machine.
9) Overload protection.The main motor starts by a soft start switch, and the circuit has an overload protection device, which automatically cuts off the circuit when overloaded.
10) Interlocking control of feed system and avoid feeding plugging. During normal operation, feeding motors and chain conveyor motor work simultaneously. Once there is a plugging, feed system stop feeding, two feeding motors and chain conveyor reverse together.
11) Pulley secured by inner hole locking device. Easy to assemble and disassemble. No the traditional violent assemble and disassemble. Protect the main motor. This makes easy to maintain the main and prolong the life span of the main motor.
