This is a project about whole tree chippers in Canada. A medium-sized Canadian wood processing company, operating in the province of British Columbia, was seeking a reliable solution for processing whole trees, including logs, branches, stumps, and forestry residues, into high-quality wood chips for multiple applications.
This is a project about whole tree chippers in Canada. Canada’s forestry industry is among the largest and most advanced in the world, with abundant supplies of softwood species such as pine, spruce, and fir. These resources support not only domestic industries like lumber, pulp, and paper but also a growing biomass energy sector.
A medium-sized Canadian wood processing company, operating in the province of British Columbia, was seeking a reliable solution for processing whole trees, including logs, branches, stumps, and forestry residues, into high-quality wood chips for multiple applications.
The company’s existing chipping equipment had reached its capacity limits and suffered from frequent downtime, resulting in production bottlenecks and higher operational costs.
To address these challenges, the client decided to purchase a single drum wood chipper, specifically a whole tree chipper, as a standalone unit to complement their existing line of wood processing machinery. The goal was to efficiently process whole trees and larger branches without the need for pre-cutting, ensuring faster throughput and consistent chip quality.

The client is a Canadian company specializing in:
The motivation for purchasing a single whole tree chipper was multifold:
By acquiring a single high-performance whole tree chipper in Canada, the client could integrate it into their existing setup while avoiding a complete overhaul of the production line, allowing for immediate efficiency gains with minimal disruption.
After consulting with RICHI Machinery, the client selected the XPJ500*500 drum chipper, which offered an optimal balance of feed capacity and chip quality for Canadian softwoods. Key specifications of the XPJ500*500 include:
The XPJ500*500 whole tree chipper in Canada is engineered to process logs, branches, stumps, and wood strips into uniform 20–40 mm chips. Its robust steel frame, welded from high-strength plates, ensures durability and long-term operational stability. The rotor is dynamically balanced to minimize vibration and noise during high-speed operation. Both flying and fixed knives are made from quenched 6GrW2Si alloy steel, ensuring high wear resistance and long service life.
A hydraulic-assisted feeding system guarantees that logs of varying diameters are gripped firmly and fed into the chipper without slipping or rollback, optimizing both safety and throughput.
In British Columbia, the main raw materials include:
The XPJ500*500 drum whole tree chipper in Canada processes these materials into uniform 20–40 mm wood chips. The resulting wood chips serve multiple purposes:
The adjustable screen ensures the client can tailor the chip size depending on the intended application, allowing maximum flexibility and product quality.
The XPJ500*500 whole tree chipper was shipped via sea freight from China to Canada. The unit arrived at the Port of Vancouver, the main industrial port for British Columbia. From the port, the chipper was transported overland to the client’s processing site in the interior forest region.
RICHI Machinery provided end-to-end logistics support, including:
Engineers from RICHI supervised the setup to ensure proper rotor alignment, calibration of the hydraulic feeding system, and safe operational procedures.
“The XPJ500*500 chipper handles entire pine and spruce logs effortlessly, producing consistent 20–40 mm wood chips. It’s much faster and more reliable than our previous equipment. RICHI’s team provided excellent installation and training, which made the setup smooth and trouble-free.”
Key operational advantages include:
The XPJ500*500 whole tree chipper in Canada features advanced technical characteristics:
These features make the chipper suitable for handling whole trees and diverse wood species commonly found in Canada.
The whole tree chipper in Canada is versatile across multiple sectors:
Its adaptability allows the client to utilize forestry residues efficiently while maintaining product quality and operational efficiency.
RICHI Machinery offers comprehensive services for clients in Canada, including:
This ensures clients achieve the highest performance and longevity from their equipment investment.
The whole tree chipper in Canada demonstrates the value of high-quality, durable machinery for wood processing operations. With the XPJ500*500 drum chipper, the client successfully:
