3–4 T/H High Efficiency Wood Chips Crusher in Vietnam

Client Profile and Purchase Motivation

The client is a medium-sized enterprise specializing in:

• Biomass pellet production for local and export markets
• Wood powder for MDF, particleboard, and animal bedding
• Value-added processing of forestry residues and plantation offcuts

The motivation to purchase the standalone high efficiency wood chips crusher machine was driven by several key needs:

• Increase throughput to 3–4 tons per hour of wood chips
• Produce uniform particle sizes ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm
• Reduce energy consumption and mechanical wear compared to previous low-efficiency crushers
• Improve downstream pelletizing and powder processing quality

The purchase of this single SFSP66*100 hammer mill allowed the client to modernize their crushing process without investing in a full-scale production line upgrade. It also gave them flexibility to process a wider variety of wood species, including eucalyptus, acacia, and pine residues, which are abundant in central Vietnam.

Equipment Selection and Specifications

RICHI Machinery recommended the SFSP66*100 model for this project based on the client’s material characteristics and production goals. Key specifications include:

• Rotor diameter: 660 mm
• Crushing chamber width: 1000 mm
• Rotating speed: 2980 rpm
• Hammer line speed: 103 m/s
• Motor power: 110 kW
• Expected wood chip throughput: 3–4 T/H

The crusher was equipped with customizable sieves to produce final particle sizes from 1 mm to 10 mm. This range met the requirements for both pellet production and fine wood powder applications. The machine’s water-drop-shaped crushing chamber, adjustable pressure plates, and optimized hammer arrangement ensured high efficiency and low vibration during operation.

Raw Materials and Processing Goals

The client processes various types of wood chips, including:

• Plantation residues: eucalyptus and acacia branches from local plantations
• Sawmill offcuts and trims
• Pinewood chips from small-scale logging operations

Vietnamese wood species are generally dense and fibrous, making uniform crushing a challenge. The SFSP66*100 hammer mill was specifically chosen for its ability to:

• Handle high-density wood chips without frequent jamming
• Maintain uniform particle size for downstream pelletizing and powder applications
• Operate continuously during peak harvest and processing seasons

The crushed wood chips are used in several high-value applications:

• Biomass pellets: Uniform 5–8 mm particles ensure optimal pellet quality, density, and combustion efficiency for domestic heating and industrial boilers.
• Wood powder: Fine wood powder (1–5 mm) is used in particleboard, MDF panels, and animal bedding products.
• Composting and soil amendment: Pulverized wood chips improve aeration and moisture retention when mixed with other organic materials.

By transforming raw wood chips into standardized products, the client maximizes value and ensures consistent quality for both local and international customers.

Transportation and Logistics

The SFSP66*100 hammer mill was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Ho Chi Minh City, the largest commercial port in southern Vietnam. Upon arrival, RICHI Machinery coordinated the transportation of the machine to the client’s facility in Lam Dong province. The installation process included:

• On-site assembly and alignment
• Operator training and safety instruction
• Integration with existing production infrastructure

The client was able to start full-scale production shortly after installation, achieving immediate productivity improvements.

Operational Benefits and Client Feedback

“The SFSP66*100 high efficiency wood chips crusher has been a game-changer for our operations. We now produce consistent wood chip sizes, which greatly improves pellet quality and powder uniformity. Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the adjustable sieves and movable operation doors. We also appreciate the low vibration and quiet operation compared to our older crushers. RICHI’s team was professional throughout the installation and training process. This machine has already paid for itself through improved efficiency and product quality.”

Key operational advantages noted by the client include:

• Increased throughput by approximately 30% compared to previous equipment
• Reduced hammer wear due to the reversible rotor design
• Stable energy consumption with minimal fluctuation
• Versatility to handle multiple wood species without adjustments
