Wood chip for biomass

[Charleton Chips]

Does anyone if tilhill does buy woodchip for biomass because we asked someone on the stand at apf and he look at us like we were stupid. Or any1 apart stobarts or Vicary because I use 1 of these companies but I'm producing upto 80-100 tonne a month but I can do more.

You don't really mean "give " I presume

When some1 came out to my yard they spoke to my dad and said something about it not being on a hard stand and the price was bad.

I have heard that Stobart are giving £3 per ton. I'd not get too excited about that price! Still I used to think £0.50p a ton for chip wood was a good price ten years ago....

The price is slowly going up

It needs to get a lot better before I sell my chip to them. I sell to Vicary and they helped me this last year with getting the chip size right for a good price.

The reason people are fussy is the problems foreign bodies cause. If you can produce good quality fairly dry chip you should have no trouble selling.

Direct to the end user and cut out middle man would give you the best price. Not sure we would want to get involved with chip in an open yard not on concrtete.

Because the chip I've been producing lately is mixed of a chipper and now we've bought a shredder from chippers international. It's dry and keep outside on hardcore and road plainings yard. We are looking into getting a screener to get rid of the problems caused by foreign bodies.

Shredder is bad news. Chip does not flow well, it locks together. If you have dry wood to chip it is a shame not to chip onto a concrete surface. Its a valuable commodity. If you could get it right then sell to the end user.you will make money.

We have bought chip in from time to time when we didn't want to chip our own wood.

What sort of chip are you guys talking about. MC, size, quantities quality etc. We are near Plymouth
