Wood Chipper Blade

1.Wood processing and furniture manufacturing: Blades are used to cut logs into specific sizes of wood chips or lumber, suitable for scenarios such as board cutting and construction template processing in furniture manufacturing. Modern woodworking machinery improves production efficiency and product quality through high-precision cutting technology, supporting the demand for large-scale production.

2.Paper and pulp industry: The wood chips cut by blades are the main raw materials for pulp production. By adjusting the blade parameters, the size and thickness of the wood chips can be controlled to meet the requirements of the paper making process for material uniformity. Chipping machines usually work in conjunction with peeling machines and conveyors to form a continuous production line.

3.Manufacturing of artificial boards (particleboard, MDF, etc.): Cut wood chips are used as the base material for particleboard and MDF, and various types of boards are produced through hot pressing technology, which are widely used in the fields of construction and decoration. This process relies on the efficient crushing ability of the blade to process wood waste.

4.Biomass energy and power generation heating: Wood chips can be used as raw materials for biomass pellets for power plant generation or boiler heating, which is in line with the trend of sustainable energy development. The crushing treatment of tree branches and wood residues by blades improves resource utilization efficiency.

5.Recycling of forestry resources: Blades are used to treat residual materials after logging (such as branches and small diameter trees), cutting wood with a diameter of less than 200mm into craft wood chips to reduce resource waste and enhance economic value.

6.Horticulture and environmental protection coverage: Branches and leaves trimmed in households or gardens can be crushed with blades and used as soil cover to moisturize, inhibit grass growth, and beautify the environment.

7.Chipping machine blades are also used in textile and wood chip factories as core components for material preparation and processing.

High load hardwood processing: Prioritize hard alloy (YG8-YG12) or high-speed steel, such as processing high-density wood such as oak and teak.

Cork/intermittent operation: Alloy tool steel (Cr12MoV) or carbon steel (T10) can meet the demand while considering cost

The shape design of the wood slicing machine blade directly affects cutting efficiency and finished product quality, and its structure needs to be adapted to different wood hardness, processing scenarios, and equipment types. The following are common shape classifications and characteristics:

Blade parameter optimization

Blade angle: Hard alloy blades are recommended to have a rake angle of 15 ° -20 ° to balance sharpness and wear resistance.

Thickness selection: When processing thin wood veneers, use ultra-thin blades of 0.8-1.5mm to reduce material loss.

Wood type: Hardwood is recommended with stepped teeth or ostrich back teeth, while cork is suitable for left and right teeth.

Cutting method: Cross cutting requires symmetrical tooth profile, while longitudinal cutting prioritizes the dorsal teeth.

Equipment matching: The drum cutting machine requires curved blades, and the push table saw is suitable for balancing the ladder teeth.

Durability: Extended replacement cycle for high-speed steel or SKD-11 material blades.

By selecting blade shapes and parameters reasonably, wood processing efficiency can be significantly improved, energy consumption and maintenance costs can be reduced.

1.Daily maintenance

Regularly clean the surface of the blade with sawdust resin to avoid adhesion and increase in cutting resistance.

It is recommended to check the wear of the hard alloy blade every 200 hours and promptly repair or replace it.

2.Replacement cycle reference

Alloy tool steel blade: It needs to be replaced after about 150-300 hours of continuous operation.

Hard alloy blade: The lifespan can reach 800-1200 hours (depending on the hardness of the wood).

Summary: The blade of a wood slicer needs to be selected based on the hardness of the wood (pine/hardwood), processing accuracy (rough/fine cutting), and cost budget.
