This is a project about whole tree chippers in Finland. A mid-sized Finnish forestry company, operating primarily in the northern regions of Lapland and central Finland, identified a need to upgrade its wood processing operations. Their existing equipment could not handle the increasing volumes of logging residues generated by the region’s intensive forestry practices.
This is a project about whole tree chippers in Finland. Finland, known for its vast boreal forests, has long been a leader in sustainable forestry and wood processing. The country’s rich forest resources include pine, spruce, and birch, providing a strong foundation for industries ranging from timber and pulp to biomass energy.
In recent years, there has been growing interest in efficiently converting whole trees, branches, stumps, and forestry residues into uniform wood chips for both energy and industrial applications.
A mid-sized Finnish forestry company, operating primarily in the northern regions of Lapland and central Finland, identified a need to upgrade its wood processing operations. Their existing equipment could not handle the increasing volumes of logging residues generated by the region’s intensive forestry practices.
To address this gap, the client decided to purchase a standalone whole tree chipper to process logs, branches, and stumps efficiently. This single-unit purchase allowed the client to integrate the chipper into their current workflow without the immediate need for a full-scale production line overhaul.
Name:
tree chipper
Country:
Finland
Date:
2025
Capacity:
6–8 tons per hour
Model:
XPJ680x300
Main motor power:
90 kW
Flying knives:
2
Final product size:
20–40 mm
The client is a Finnish forestry and wood-processing company specializing in:
The client opted for a single whole tree chipper crusher machine to meet several objectives:
By acquiring a standalone drum chipper, the client could immediately improve operational efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure high-quality output without disrupting their existing machinery.
After consultation with RICHI Machinery, the client selected the XPJ680x300 drum wood chipper, which was deemed most suitable for processing Finland’s dominant softwoods. The specifications of this model are as follows:
The XPJ680x300 whole tree chipper in Finland is designed to handle logs, branches, stumps, and wood strips with minimal pre-cutting. Its high-strength welded steel frame provides durability and stability during heavy-duty operations, and the rotor is dynamically balanced to reduce vibration and noise during high-speed chipping. Both the flying and fixed knives are made from quenched 6GrW2Si alloy steel, ensuring excellent wear resistance for Finnish softwood species like pine and spruce.
The machine also features a hydraulic-assisted feeding system, which ensures logs of varying diameters are gripped firmly and fed into the chipper without slipping or rollback. This system is particularly useful for handling birch logs, which can sometimes have irregular shapes, guaranteeing smooth operation and optimal chip quality.
The XPJ680x300 whole tree chipper in Finland processes the following raw materials typical in Finland:
The client aimed to convert these materials into 20–40 mm wood chips suitable for multiple purposes:
RICHI Machinery customized the chipper screen to meet the client’s specific size requirements, ensuring a uniform output tailored to the end-use applications.
The XPJ680x300 whole tree chipper was shipped via sea freight from China to Finland, arriving at the Port of Helsinki, which is the main industrial port serving central and southern Finland. RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive logistics support, including:
RICHI engineers ensured the proper alignment of the rotor, hydraulic calibration, and operator training to guarantee safe and efficient operation from the first day.
“The XPJ680x300 handles pine, spruce, and birch logs effortlessly. It produces consistent 20–40 mm wood chips, which are perfect for our biomass and industrial applications. The hydraulic feed system works flawlessly, and RICHI’s team provided excellent support during installation and training.”
Operational improvements include:
The XPJ680x300 whole tree chipper in Finland offers advanced technical features that distinguish it in the market:
These features allow the client to operate efficiently while maintaining product quality, even in Finland’s cold and sometimes challenging forestry conditions.
The whole tree chipper in Finland is highly versatile, serving a wide range of industries:
Its adaptability makes it ideal for Finnish forestry operations, which require efficiency and flexibility to handle a mix of softwood and hardwood species.
RICHI Machinery ensures that Finnish clients receive comprehensive support:
RICHI’s services ensure that clients maximize productivity and maintain high-quality output throughout the equipment’s lifecycle.
The whole tree chipper in Finland demonstrates the value of investing in high-quality, durable equipment for modern forestry operations. The XPJ680x300 drum chipper has enabled the client to:
