A shredder (English shredder or the Anglicism shredder), also called a chipper or chopper, is a mechanical device for shredding a wide variety of materials. It is generally used to shred bulky, large-volume waste (e.g. old wood, old cars, plastic containers) and reduce its volume. The principle of the shredder is in most cases based on a grinding mechanism powered by relatively powerful electric or combustion engines. This can consist of a gear system constructed using offset rollers, an impact disk or a hammer mill. If an object is put into the shredder, it is broken down into small pieces by grinding, grinding, tearing, smashing or cutting. The result is called shredded material; in the case of biomass, particularly wood, it is also called wood chips or wood chips. Wood chips (also wood chips, wood chippings or wood chips) are wood that has been chopped up with cutting tools. Shredded wood, on the other hand, is produced by shredding wood with blunt, crushing tools.[1] Wood chips are used primarily as a raw material for the wood processing industry and as a biogenic and renewable fuel. Depending on their origin, the terms bark chips or forest chips (forest wood chips) are also used. Production Wood chips are produced with chippers. Mobile or stationary disc, drum or screw chippers shred residual forest wood (for example, cut branches), small wood (too small in diameter) and other low-quality wood (for example from thinning, cuttings from landscape maintenance measures or rotten old wood) that cannot be processed by industry into higher-quality products. With the increased planting of short rotation plantations, these are becoming the raw material source for wood chips. Properties Wood chips consist of 100% wood. They have a calorific value of around 4.0 kWh (= 14.4 MJ) per kg (depending on the type of wood, with a water content of around 20%) and are suitable for automatic feeding of heating systems using screw conveyors, spring tine discharges, push rod discharges and conveyor belts, for example. Wood chips in practice: In practice, wood chips are classified into different product categories depending on their source and intended use. In the chipboard and wood-based materials industry, a distinction is made between MDF wood chips and chipboard wood chips. These names indicate the different production processes in which the wood chips are processed into high-quality products such as table and insulation boards. Since every production process, and usually even every factory, has individual requirements for the raw material, the wood chip market is highly fragmented. Another reason for the fragmentation of the market is the diverse sources of wood chips. For example, forest wood chips are distinguished from sawmill wood chips. Use: Wood chips serve as a raw material for the wood processing industry (e.g. chipboard, wood fiber insulation boards, paper industry) and as fuel for combined heat and power plants or for wood chip heating systems. They are also used as a substrate in mushroom cultivation and as a material for covering the ground, for example in gardening and landscaping.
