The Animal Bedding Shavings Machine is a specialized wood processing unit designed to convert logs, lumber offcuts, or wood blocks into soft, fluffy, and consistent wood shavings ideal for animal bedding. Whether you are in the livestock farming industry, equine facility management, or a commercial bedding production business, this machine ensures a reliable and hygienic supply of high-quality shavings, contributing to improved animal comfort, health, and farm hygiene.
With increasing demand for clean and absorbent animal bedding, the need for automated, high-capacity shavings production has never been greater. This machine answers that demand with superior productivity, uniform output, and minimal manual handling, helping you save labor, reduce costs, and ensure consistent bedding supply.
Wesentliche Merkmale
High-Efficiency Wood Shaving
The machine features a series of sharp, durable blades mounted on a rotating drum. As the wood passes through, the blades slice it into thin, uniform shavings without generating dust or splinters. This process preserves the natural softness and absorbency of the wood, making the resulting shavings ideal for bedding.
Adjustable Shaving Thickness
Operators can easily adjust the thickness of the shavings, usually ranging from 0.5 mm to 2 mm, depending on the animal type and bedding preferences. Thin shavings are ideal for poultry and small animals, while thicker, more resilient shavings are preferred for horses and cattle.
Robust Construction for Continuous Use
Built with a heavy-duty steel frame, industrial-grade bearings, and wear-resistant components, the Animal Bedding Shavings Machine is engineered for 24/7 operation in demanding environments. It can process various types of softwood and hardwood, such as pine, poplar, fir, or birch.
Automatic Feeding and Output
Equipped with hydraulic or conveyor-fed log feeding systems, the machine offers automatic operation for consistent production. The processed shavings can be directly discharged onto conveyors or into packaging systems, reducing labor and improving hygiene during collection and transport.
Low Noise and Safety Features
Despite its high capacity, the machine operates with relatively low noise and vibration. Built-in safety features such as emergency stop switches, overload protection, and protective covers ensure safe operation for factory staff.
