Wood chippers are frequently used in industrial lumber applications to reduce wood into chips or sawdust, as part of wood recycling or as part of a manufacturing process. Wood chippers are also used by those in the agricultural industry during property and land maintenance, or to aid in clean up after a storm or meteorological event. Typically, wood chippers are comprised of several distinct parts, including a hopper, a collar, a chipper, and a collection bin. An internal power source, typically a combustion engine, can range from 3 to 1,000 horsepower, depending on the size and type of chipper.

How Wood Chippers Work
Regardless of the size or make, wood chippers all function in the same basic manner. An internal engine, either an electric motor or a fossil-fuel engine, powers the device. A gearbox uses pulleys and v-belts to connect the engine to a set of knives—the pulley enables the engine to control the speed at which these blades rotate, and the v-belt transmits the power from the engine. Internal gears within the gearbox also help control speed and power.
Wood chippers typically have two separate chutes for processing wood. The first chute, the smaller of the two, shreds branches into chips. The second, larger chute features blades and additional devices, such as hammers, to turn excess plant material (such as leaves) into mulch.
