The Wood Shavings Machine (Chain) is a high-performance industrial machine designed to produce clean, uniform, and dust-free wood shavings from logs, timber scraps, branches, or other wood pieces. With a durable chain-feed system and precision cutting structure, it is widely used in animal bedding production, poultry farming, wood packaging, biomass fuel preparation, and wood-based manufacturing industries.
This chain-type model ensures stable feeding, accurate shaving thickness, and reduced labor intensity, making it the preferred choice for factories seeking automated, continuous wood shavings output with minimal waste.
What is a Chain-Feed Wood Shavings Machine?
Unlike roller or belt-driven machines, the chain-type wood shavings machine is equipped with a chain conveyor system that securely holds and transports raw wood into the cutterhead. This structure prevents slippage or uneven feeding, which directly improves shaving consistency and production capacity. It is particularly suitable for processing straight-grain materials and log segments of fixed length.
Once the wood is clamped by the chain feeding platform, it is advanced steadily toward the high-speed rotating blades that shave the surface layer by layer. The final shavings are soft, thin, and uniformly sized—ideal for animal bedding or packaging filler.
Key Features of the Wood Shavings Machine (Chain)
-
Durable Chain Conveyor Feeding
Provides smooth and accurate material feed, ensuring even cutting and preventing raw wood from moving during operation. -
Adjustable Shaving Thickness
The blade height and position can be precisely adjusted to achieve desired shaving thickness ranging from 0.2 mm to 2 mm. -
High-Efficiency Cutterhead System
Equipped with sharp and wear-resistant steel blades that produce clean, curly shavings with low dust output. -
Heavy-Duty Frame Construction
The machine body is made of thick carbon steel plates, providing long-term durability and vibration resistance under continuous operation. -
Easy Maintenance and Safety Design
Designed with quick-access blade replacement slots, safety interlocks, and emergency stop buttons for operator protection.
Applications
The Wood Shavings Machine (Chain) is ideal for a variety of industrial and agricultural uses:
-
Animal Bedding Production
Produces soft and dust-free shavings for poultry, horses, dairy cows, and small pets. -
Packaging Material
Used as cushioning filler in wooden crates or boxes to protect fragile goods. -
Composting and Biomass
Converts timber waste into uniform particles suitable for composting or biofuel processing. -
Furniture and Panel Industries
Generates uniform shavings for further particle board or insulation panel production. -
Wooden Pallet Manufacturing
Utilizes scrap wood from pallets and offcuts efficiently, reducing waste in production lines.
Advantages
-
Consistent Output Quality
Get uniform, premium-grade shavings suitable for commercial resale or end-use. -
Reduced Labor Cost
Chain feeding ensures semi-automatic operation with fewer manual interventions. -
High Daily Output
Capable of processing several cubic meters of wood per hour, depending on machine size and log dimensions. -
Customizable to Your Needs
Multiple models available with different shaving thicknesses, feed sizes, and motor power configurations. -
Low Maintenance, High ROI
Engineered for long service life with easy-to-replace wear parts, reducing downtime and total ownership cost.
Available in Both Chain-Feed and Hydraulic Models
In addition to the chain-feed version, we also offer a hydraulic wood shavings machine, providing even more flexibility for different production environments and material handling needs. The hydraulic version is equipped with a hydraulic pushing system that presses the wood material forward into the cutterhead, ensuring stable feeding, especially for irregular or shorter wood blocks.
Key Benefits of the Hydraulic Model:
- More Adaptive Feeding: Ideal for non-uniform wood shapes such as blocks, short logs, or wood leftovers.
- Compact Footprint: Optimized for limited workshop space without sacrificing output performance.
- Quiet and Smooth Operation: Hydraulic feeding provides smoother motion with lower vibration and noise.
- Easy Operation and Maintenance: Simple hydraulic controls and fewer moving parts reduce operator workload and maintenance time.
This dual offering—chain and hydraulic wood-shaving machines—allows customers to choose the most suitable machine based on material type, production volume, and automation requirements.
