This is a project about forestry wood chipper in Brazil. A mid-sized Brazilian wood processing and biomass energy company recognized the need for an efficient, reliable solution to manage its forestry residues. The company previously relied on smaller, low-capacity chippers that struggled to process large-diameter eucalyptus logs and pine branches.
This is a project about forestry wood chipper in Brazil. Brazil is home to one of the world’s largest forested areas, featuring extensive eucalyptus and pine plantations, particularly in the southern states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. These regions are critical hubs for both timber production and biomass energy.
As forestry operations expand, Brazilian companies face increasing challenges in managing residual wood from logging activities, such as tree branches, stumps, and offcuts, which can accumulate and pose operational inefficiencies.
A mid-sized Brazilian wood processing and biomass energy company recognized the need for an efficient, reliable solution to manage its forestry residues. The company previously relied on smaller, low-capacity chippers that struggled to process large-diameter eucalyptus logs and pine branches.
These limitations caused frequent interruptions in production and inconsistencies in chip size. To solve this problem, the client decided to purchase a standalone forestry wood chipper, integrating it alongside their existing equipment to boost productivity and improve material handling without a full production line investment.

The client operates across several sectors, including:
The motivation to acquire a single forestry wood chipper was based on several factors:
By purchasing a single machine, the client gained immediate operational improvements without the need for a large-scale investment in a complete production line.
After consulting RICHI Machinery, the client selected the XPJ680x300 drum wood chipper. This model was ideal for handling Brazil’s predominant eucalyptus and pine species, as well as varying diameters of branches and stumps. Key technical specifications include:
The XPJ680x300 drum forestry wood chipper in Brazil is designed for high-efficiency processing of logs, branches, stumps, and wood strips. Its high-strength welded steel frame ensures stability during continuous heavy-duty operation. The rotor is dynamically balanced, minimizing vibration and noise during operation. Flying and fixed knives are crafted from quenched 6GrW2Si alloy steel, offering exceptional wear resistance and durability, which is essential for dense eucalyptus wood.
A hydraulic-assisted feeding system ensures that logs and branches of different diameters are securely gripped and fed into the chipping chamber. This prevents slipping or backfeeding, which is particularly useful when processing uneven or irregular eucalyptus stumps.
The client processes the following materials commonly available in southern Brazil:
The XPJ680x300 forestry wood chipper in Brazil converts these materials into 20–40 mm wood chips suitable for multiple applications:
RICHI Machinery customized the screen to meet the client’s specific size requirements for optimal downstream use.
The XPJ680x300 forestry wood chipper was shipped via sea freight from China to Brazil, arriving at the Port of Santos, the country’s largest port and a key gateway for southern industrial shipments. RICHI Machinery provided full logistics support, including packaging, customs documentation, and inland transportation to the client’s facility in Paraná.
On-site, RICHI engineers assisted with installation, rotor alignment, and hydraulic calibration, ensuring the chipper was ready for immediate operation. Training for operators and maintenance staff was also included, allowing the client to fully utilize the chipper’s capabilities from day one.
“The XPJ680x300 handles eucalyptus and pine effortlessly. It produces uniform chips every time, which has greatly improved our biomass and particleboard operations. The hydraulic feed system and durable construction have minimized downtime, and RICHI’s support has been exceptional.”
Key operational outcomes include:
The XPJ680x300 drum forestry wood chipper in Brazil provides advanced features that make it suitable for Brazilian forestry operations:
These features ensure the client achieves reliable, high-quality production with minimal downtime.
The forestry wood chipper in Brazil is versatile and applicable across multiple industries in Brazil:
Its adaptability makes it a key asset for any Brazilian forestry operation.
RICHI Machinery offers comprehensive services to Brazilian clients:
