VTH - Biomass chipper

The solution for the production of wood chips for energy recovery and recycling

Do you prepare wood chips from logs, forest residues and sawmill residues for the pellet industry or as fuels for boiler feed in combined heat and power plants? We can supply you with individually tailored systems with our VTH biomass chippers at their core. Our biomass chipper series covers a very wide performance range in terms of both throughput and the quality of the required output material.

VTH - Biomass chipper

Reliable shredding technology for biomass 

With the new model series of VTH biomass chippers, Vecoplan sets itself apart from the previous standard. Compared to the classic models, the new chippers are characterised in particular by their low space requirement and significantly better accessibility for tool change and maintenance.

Can be used for following material

Wood
Biomass
All

Log

Roundwood which cannot be sawn or directly utilized is usually processed into chips and then used as fuel for wood-burning equipment, as raw material for the panel industry, pellet production or pulp production.

Straw

Grain straw is used in biogas plants. The material is also used in the form of straw pellets for alternative heat generation. Straw is the primary material used in the production of bioethanol.

Coconut shells

Briquettes made from coconut shells burn longer than wood and can be used in crop-growing countries to replace wood from life-sustaining forests. The material is also suitable for use as a fuel in biomass plants and boiler plants. The fibres in coconut shells have excellent insulating properties and are used to this end.

Grasses

Some grasses, such as miscanthus and switchgrass, are called biomass grasses because of the large amounts of biogas they can produce.

Residual forest wood

Residual forest wood is often the raw material for mulch, but it is also used as animal feed. In addition, it is used as fuel in biomass CHP plants (combined heat & power plants).

Green waste

Green waste is used as co-substrates for soil improvement and is increasingly incinerated for energy in biogas plants. Coarser fractions of wood can also be made into mulch.
