Wood Mulcher in Poland

Raw Materials and Equipment Selection

Polish biomass pellet plants commonly process local softwood species, such as Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), as well as hardwoods like beech and oak. These woods are readily available as industrial residues from sawmills and wood-processing plants.

The client planned to process the following materials:

• Logs and branches from Scots pine and spruce plantations
• Hardwood offcuts from beech and oak furniture production
• Wood residues from sawmill operations, including slabs and trimming waste

Given the variety of raw materials and the desired chip size of 20–40mm, the XPJ850*500 drum wood mulcher was selected.

Role and Application in Pellet Production

The wood mulcher in Poland plays a critical role in the client’s pellet production line. Its primary functions include:

1. Efficient size reduction: Logs, branches, and wood strips are cut into uniform 20–40mm chips, suitable for hammer mills and pellet presses.
2. Reducing downtime: High-strength welded steel construction and precise blade fixation ensure stable operation with minimal maintenance.
3. Improving pellet quality: Uniform chip size promotes consistent drying and compression in pellet presses, resulting in higher density and durability.
4. Handling variable raw materials: The hydraulic-assisted feeding system enables smooth processing of large-diameter logs and uneven materials without jamming.

These wood chips are primarily used in the production of biomass pellets for residential and industrial heating, contributing to renewable energy supply and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Some chips are also utilized for wood-based composite materials and particleboard production, increasing the versatility of the facility’s output.

Shipping and Logistics

The wood mulcher was shipped from China to Poland via sea freight. The crusher machine arrived at Port of Gdańsk, one of the main seaports in northern Poland serving heavy machinery imports. RICHI provided detailed instructions on packaging, customs documentation, and local transportation to ensure safe delivery to the client’s plant.

Technical Advantages and Versatility

The drum-type wood mulcher in Poland is designed for durability, efficiency, and versatility. Its key features and advantages include:

• Robust construction: High-strength welded steel ensures structural stability for long-term operation.
• Durable blades: Flying and fixed blades made from 6GrW2Si alloy and quenched for high hardness and wear resistance.
• Rotor balance: Dynamic balancing ensures minimal vibration, reducing noise and prolonging equipment life.
• Hydraulic-assisted feeding: Adjustable feed rollers improve material intake and prevent slippage.
• Compact and safe design: Rational structural layout allows easy operation, maintenance, and high safety standards.
• Customizable screen size: Allows adjustment of chip size according to downstream pelletizing requirements.

This versatility makes the XPJ drum wood mulcher suitable for sawmills, biomass pellet plants, furniture factories, and wood recycling facilities across different regions, handling a wide range of softwood and hardwood residues.

Client Feedback

After several months of operation, the client reported substantial improvements:

• Consistent chip size: All processed wood achieved the desired 20–40mm specification, improving downstream pellet quality.
• Increased production efficiency: Output increased by approximately 20% compared to previous equipment.
• Reduced maintenance: Blade wear and downtime were significantly lower, with less frequent replacement required.
• Operational reliability: The hydraulic-assisted feeding system minimized material jams, ensuring smoother workflow.
