Industrial Drum Chippers for Wood Processing and Biomass Preparation
TCPEL industrial drum chippers prepare logs, wood branches, slabs, board offcuts and timber residues for wood processing, biomass preparation and pellet production line front-end projects. The current standard series includes eight models, from TC216 to TC2116, with 3–60 t/h final wood chip output. Standard output chip size is 30–50 mm, while other chip sizes can be configured for project requirements. Initial model selection starts with the material form and maximum wood diameter, followed by required final chip output, target chip size and daily working hours. These inputs determine the suitable model and main-motor configuration, and whether the project needs a standalone chipper or a complete processing line.
Quick Answer: How Do I Choose an Industrial Drum Chipper?
To choose an industrial drum chipper, first confirm the wood material and maximum log diameter. Then define the required final wood chip output, target chip size and daily working hours. TCPEL’s current standard series covers eight models with 3–60 t/h final chip output and maximum log diameters from 230 to 600 mm. Standard chip size is 30–50 mm, with custom sizes available for project requirements. These inputs are used to select the model, alternative main-motor configuration and whether the system should be supplied as a standalone chipper or as part of a processing line.
This commercial page covers the current TCPEL drum chipper machines, verified model data and project-configuration inputs. For deeper buying research, use the drum chipper buying guide. For the separate machine type and technical background only, see the disc chipper guide.

Confirm the Wood Material and Maximum Diameter
Start with the wood form and the largest expected diameter. Verified materials include logs, wood branches, wood slabs, wood board offcuts and wood waste or timber residues. Maximum log diameter and feeding opening are separate parameters and must not be used interchangeably.
Define Final Wood Chip Output and Target Chip Size
All t/h values on this page mean final wood chip output. Standard output chip size is 30–50 mm. Other chip sizes can be configured according to project requirements.
Confirm Working Hours and Motor Configuration
Provide daily working hours so the model and any alternative current main-motor configuration can be reviewed. Slash-separated motor values are alternatives for project selection; they are not added together.
Selection path: Wood Material / Form → Maximum Wood Diameter → Required Final Wood Chip Output → Target Chip Size → Daily Working Hours → Drum Chipper Model / Motor Configuration → Standalone Chipper / Complete Processing Line.
Standalone Drum Chipper or Complete Processing Line?
A standalone chipper can be evaluated when the buyer already has suitable feeding, discharge and downstream processing. A complete project may also require a hammer mill for downstream size reduction, a rotary dryer for moisture reduction, a máquina de pellets de madera, a biomass pellet machine and a envasadora de pellets. Review the complete pellet production line when the processes must be engineered together.

TCPEL’s current standard series includes eight drum chipper models. The six-column matrix below uses only Owner-approved current data. Final Wood Chip Output is the capacity metric; Feeding Opening is the machine opening and is not the same as Maximum Log Diameter.
| Modelo | Main Motor | Final Wood Chip Output | Maximum Log Diameter | Feeding Opening | Standard Chip Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TC216 | 55 kW | 3–5 t/h | 230 mm | 230 × 540 mm | 30–50 mm |
| TC217 | 75 kW | 5–7 t/h | 230 mm | 230 × 700 mm | 30–50 mm |
| TC218 | 110 kW | 6–10 t/h | 300 mm | 350 × 700 mm | 30–50 mm |
| TC2110 | 160 / 185 kW | 12–15 t/h | 400 mm | 450 × 1000 mm | 30–50 mm |
| TC2113 | 200 / 220 kW | 16–20 t/h | 400 mm | 450 × 700 mm | 30–50 mm |
| TC2113D | 250 kW | 20–30 t/h | 450 mm | 450 × 1000 mm | 30–50 mm |
| TC4113 | 315 / 450 kW | 35–50 t/h | 450 mm | 450 × 1300 mm | 30–50 mm |
| TC2116 | 400 / 600 / 710 kW | 30–60 t/h | 600 mm | 750 × 1200 mm | 30–50 mm |
Slash-separated main-motor values are alternative current configurations, not values to add together. Standard output chip size is 30–50 mm; other chip sizes can be configured according to project requirements.
How to Select a Drum Chipper for Your Project
Use the verified inputs below to narrow the model range. The final recommendation should confirm the actual material, maximum wood diameter, required final chip output, target chip size, daily working hours, power supply and whether the machine will operate alone or in a complete processing line.
Confirm the Wood Material and Maximum Diameter
Provide the wood form and maximum diameter. Feeding-opening dimensions describe the machine opening; they do not replace the separate maximum-log-diameter value.
Define Final Wood Chip Output and Target Chip Size
Confirm the required final wood chip output in t/h and the target chip size. The current standard chip size is 30–50 mm, with other sizes available according to project requirements.
Confirm Working Hours and Motor Configuration
Daily working hours help determine the model and main-motor configuration. Where a model has slash-separated motor values, those values are alternative current configurations.
Materials and Industrial Applications
Verified materials include logs, wood branches, wood slabs, wood board offcuts and wood waste or timber residues for wood processing, biomass preparation and pellet production line front-end preparation.
Feeding and Discharge Layout
Confirm the site layout, feeding direction, conveyor arrangement and available power supply for the selected standalone machine or processing-line configuration.
Standard and Custom Wood Chip Size
Standard output chip size is 30–50 mm. Other chip sizes can be configured according to project requirements and the required downstream process.
Detailed Technical Boundary
The main selection matrix uses only the Owner-approved current fields needed for initial model selection. Additional verified project details can be reviewed during configuration; unsupported or context-missing exact claims are not published here.

Drum Chipper Buyer Questions
What information is needed to select a drum chipper?
Provide the wood material, maximum wood diameter, required final wood chip output, target chip size and daily working hours. Power supply and whether the project needs a standalone chipper or a complete processing line are also useful for configuration.
What does drum chipper capacity mean on this page?
All t/h values in the current TCPEL model table refer to final wood chip output. They do not refer to raw-log input, loose volume or a universal feed rate.
What is the maximum log diameter?
The current standard series covers maximum log diameters from 230 to 600 mm, depending on the selected model. Maximum log diameter is different from the machine feeding-opening dimensions.
What chip size does the drum chipper produce?
The standard output chip size in the current model table is 30–50 mm. Other chip sizes can be configured according to project requirements.
Which model should I choose for my required output?
Select the model after confirming maximum wood diameter, required final wood chip output, target chip size and daily working hours. Some models have alternative current main-motor configurations, which must be selected for the project rather than added together.
What materials can TCPEL drum chippers process?
Verified applications include logs, wood branches, wood slabs, wood board offcuts and wood waste or timber residues for wood processing, biomass preparation and pellet-line front-end preparation.
Can a drum chipper be integrated into a pellet production line?
Yes. A drum chipper can be evaluated as front-end preparation equipment in a pellet production line. The complete configuration depends on the material, required chip output, target chip size, working hours and project scope.
