This project concerns new chippers for sale in Brazil. A mid-sized Brazilian biomass and timber processing company sought to enhance its wood residue management. The company previously relied on outdated small-capacity chippers, which struggled with high-volume eucalyptus and pine residues, leading to inconsistent chip sizes and production bottlenecks.
This project concerns new chippers for sale in Brazil. Brazil’s forestry industry continues to grow rapidly, with large-scale plantations of eucalyptus and pine covering millions of hectares in the southern and southeastern regions.
These operations generate significant amounts of residual wood, including branches, stumps, and offcuts, which require effective processing for further industrial use. Managing this biomass efficiently has become increasingly important for both economic and environmental reasons.
A mid-sized Brazilian biomass and timber processing company sought to enhance its wood residue management. The company previously relied on outdated small-capacity chippers, which struggled with high-volume eucalyptus and pine residues, leading to inconsistent chip sizes and production bottlenecks.
After evaluating several options, the client decided to purchase a standalone new chippers for sale unit, allowing them to improve operational efficiency immediately without investing in a complete production line.

The client operates primarily in the following sectors:
The decision to invest in a single new chippers for sale unit was driven by several factors:
By purchasing a standalone unit, the client could immediately address bottlenecks and test machine performance before considering larger-scale investments.
After consultation with RICHI Machinery, the client selected the XPJ500*500 drum chipper. This model is well-suited for Brazil’s prevalent eucalyptus and pine species, including thick branches and tree stumps. The key technical specifications are:
The XPJ500*500 drum wood chipper is designed for high-efficiency processing of logs, branches, and wood strips. Its high-strength welded steel frame ensures the system operates stably under heavy-duty conditions. The rotor has undergone dynamic balancing to minimize vibration and noise, while the flying and fixed knives, made from quenched 6GrW2Si alloy steel, provide high wear resistance and durability.
A hydraulic-assisted feeding system ensures logs and branches of various diameters are gripped securely, preventing slipping or backfeeding into the feed inlet. This feature is especially useful when processing irregular eucalyptus and pine stumps, ensuring smooth operation.
The client processes forestry residues typical of southern Brazil, including:
The XPJ500*500 drum chipper converts these materials into 20–40 mm wood chips, suitable for a range of industrial applications:
RICHI Machinery customized the chipper screen to meet the client’s specific requirements, ensuring optimal chip size and uniformity.
The XPJ500*500 drum chipper crusher machine was shipped via sea freight from China to Brazil, arriving at the Port of Rio Grande, a major gateway for southern Brazilian industrial shipments. RICHI Machinery coordinated the shipping process, including packaging, customs clearance, and inland transportation to the client’s facility.
RICHI engineers provided full on-site support during installation, including rotor alignment, hydraulic adjustments, and calibration. Operators received detailed training in machine operation, maintenance procedures, and safety protocols to ensure smooth start-up and consistent output from the first day.
“The XPJ500*500 handles eucalyptus and pine efficiently, even when processing thick branches and stumps. The uniformity of the chips has improved our biomass feedstock and particleboard production. The hydraulic feed system and sturdy construction reduce downtime and make the machine easy to operate. RICHI’s support has been excellent, from installation to training.”
Operational outcomes include:
The XPJ500*500 drum chipper offers advanced technical advantages:
These features provide efficiency, durability, and operational reliability, making it a preferred choice for Brazilian forestry operations.
