This is a project regarding a drum grinder in Brazil. A mid-sized Brazilian biomass processing company faced operational challenges with handling thick eucalyptus branches and pine stumps leftover from plantation maintenance.
This is a project regarding a drum grinder in Brazil. Brazil is home to vast forestry resources, with extensive plantations of eucalyptus, pine, and acacia across states such as São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Paraná. The forestry and biomass processing industry is expanding rapidly, driven by growing demand for renewable energy, wood-based panels, and landscaping materials.
A mid-sized Brazilian biomass processing company faced operational challenges with handling thick eucalyptus branches and pine stumps leftover from plantation maintenance. Their previous equipment could not efficiently produce uniform wood chips, resulting in downtime and inconsistent product quality.
To address this, the client decided to purchase a single drum grinder, rather than investing in a full production line. This approach allowed them to improve operational efficiency immediately and test the machine’s integration with existing equipment for future expansion.
Name:
wood chipper
Country:
Brazil
Date:
2025
Capacity:
6–8 tons per hour
Model:
XPJ500x500
Main Motor Power:
110 kW
Raw Materials:
logs, branches, stumps
Final product size:
20–40 mm
The client operates in:
The client opted for a standalone drum wood chipper because:
After careful evaluation, the client selected the XPJ500x500 drum grinder, ideal for medium-to-large wood residues common in Brazil. The key parameters include:
The XPJ500x500 drum grinder in Brazil is designed for high-performance processing of logs, branches, stumps, and wood strips. Its welded high-strength steel frame ensures stability, while dynamically balanced rotors reduce vibration and noise. Knives made from quenched 6GrW2Si alloy steel guarantee long-term wear resistance and reliability.
The hydraulic-assisted feeding system allows the client to process irregular and thick branches efficiently. By gripping the material firmly, the feed rollers ensure smooth feeding into the chipper, preventing backfeeding or material slippage.
The Brazilian client primarily processes:
The drum crusher machine converts these materials into uniform 20–40 mm wood chips, suitable for:
RICHI Machinery customized the screening system to ensure precise chip size, meeting the client’s requirements for energy and industrial uses.
The XPJ500x500 drum grinder was shipped from China to Brazil via sea freight, arriving at the Port of Santos, Brazil’s largest and most accessible industrial port. RICHI Machinery coordinated the shipping, customs clearance, and inland transportation to the client’s facility. On-site engineers performed installation, rotor balancing, hydraulic adjustment, and operator training, ensuring immediate operational readiness.
“The XPJ500x500 drum grinder efficiently processes eucalyptus and pine branches into consistent 20–40 mm chips. The hydraulic feed system ensures no material slips, and the machine operates smoothly with minimal vibration. RICHI’s installation and training were excellent, and we’ve already seen a significant improvement in throughput and product quality.”
Key operational results include:
The XPJ500x500 drum grinder offers advanced features:
These features make the XPJ500x500 drum grinder a reliable and efficient solution for Brazilian forestry and biomass operations.
The drum grinder is versatile, serving multiple industries:
