ANDRITZ drum chippers combine robust mechanical design with decades of wood processing and pulp industry expertise. More than equipment suppliers, we are process specialists who understand how chip quality, plant availability, maintenance, and downstream processes work together. Whether you need a single drum chipper, a modernization project, or a complete chipping line, ANDRITZ delivers solutions designed for reliable performance and long-term value.
At ANDRITZ, we combine proven drum chipper technology with deep process knowledge gained from hundreds of wood processing and pulp production installations worldwide.
ANDRITZ can supply much more than a drum chipper. Depending on your needs, our scope can include infeed systems, conveyors, screening, chip handling, automation, service solutions, and complete chipping lines.
Our engineering teams help optimize the entire process from raw material handling through chip production and downstream processing.
The ANDRITZ CDH horizontally fed drum chipper provides controlled feeding and reliable chipping for longer wood material and higher-capacity applications.
The ANDRITZ CDV drop-feed drum chipper is a compact and efficient solution for short logs, wood residues, oversize material, and re-chipping applications.
