Saalasti - Model H -Industrial Wood Chipper

Industrial Wood Chipper - Applications and materials: large capacities, materials that are difficult to process, and changing materials

The Saalasti Chipper H biomass chipper is suitable for power plants, biomass terminals and other high- capacity applications where precise particle size handling and high reliability are essential.

Typical raw materials include logs, bales of dry branches, loose branches, thinnings, and tops of trees. The Saalasti Chipper H is suitable for a wide range of applications, as the particle size is adjustable and the capacity can be easily increased by increasing the motor power.

Typical raw materials include logs, bales of dry branches, loose branches, thinnings, and tops of trees.

The Saalasti Chipper H is equipped with our Multitool rotor for easy changing of the chipper or crusher knives depending on the material to be processed. This allows the customer to use a greater variety of materials. The value of Saalasti’s Multitool rotor becomes especially clear from a long term perspective, as power plants do not usually use the same raw material throughout their lifetime.

Thanks to the horizontal feed conveyor, the material to be processed can be unloaded directly from the trucks to the machine – even from two trucks at the same time. Depending on the capacity selected (150–600 loose m3 per hour (P63)), from three to six loads can be unloaded per hour. Once the material is loaded onto the feeder, the biomass chipper’s powerful rotor processes it to the desired particle size. The particle size can be optimized to the customer’s needs, and can be easily changed between P32 and P100.

A stationary chipper for onsite processing presents a more cost-effective alternative than a mobile chipper

Although the investment costs of a stationary onsite chipper are higher, the lower operating costs  compensate for this. This makes a stationary chipper more cost-effective than a mobile chipper.

The following three factors make the stationary chipper the more cost-effective choice:

Lifespan:

• The heavy-duty, robust construction of the Saalasti Chipper H ensures decades of service life and easy refurbishment
• by contrast, the portability of a mobile chipper and its lightweight design result in shorter service life

Maintenance:

• The Saalasti Chipper H is designed for easy maintenance, and its high durability ensures long service intervals.  vs. a mobile chipper often requires more frequent maintenance cycles due to its lightweight design and parts

Motor efficiency and eco-friendliness:

• The electric motors of the Saalasti Chipper H guarantee high efficiency
• by contrast, mobile chippers are often equipped with a high-consumption diesel engine

1. Suitable for various biomasses such as wood, cane and coconut
   • The Multitool rotor makes it easy to change blades, capacity and particle size depending on the material.
2. Reliable, long-lasting and robust
   • We supplied our first horizontal-feed chipper in the early 2000s to a power plant in Finland. It is still in use.
3. No need for intermediate storage before the feeder
   • Thanks to the horizontal feeding conveyor, the material can be unloaded directly from the trucks to the feeding conveyor.
4. Efficient unloading of material directly onto the feed conveyor.
   • Two trucks can be unloaded at the feeder at the same time.
5. High availability and low total cost of ownership.
   • The Saalasti Chipper H is designed for continuous industrial production.
6. Saalasti experts always at your service for maintenance, support and spare parts.
   • Our highly experienced service staff understand the operating environment and support our customers throughout the life cycle of the machinery. Original Saalasti spare parts are available with fast delivery around the world.
