Hi all 

I am now upgrading my chipper we are running a mx235 at the min 

but I have start to notice it’s not blowing the chip into the truck. What chipper has the best set of “fans”for blowing chip far. 
 

Thanks

If your chipper is not throwing the chip as far as it used to then there’s an issue like rounded anvil etc. 
If it’s never really thrown it far enough then that’s a different story. 
My Schliesing throws it plenty good!

Have you adjusted the chute? are the fan blades and chute clear?

 

What are you chipping? Palm can wrap around and clog things up, I'm told - well I've seen it wrapped tightly around the main shaft bearing and a pain to get out.

 

Open the lid and get some photos of the fan blade.

So I’ll give a little more on This 

it will throw the likes of ash,oak,beech anything like that grand 

but was chipping holly today and it was struggling with the green, anything that leafy or green it seems. I asked one of the lads who is always using that chipper and he “said it was gradually getting worser” (haha)

First thing is the anvil.

If the fans were damaged it would shake like buggery.

No

 

That model has adjustable knives pockets . So when was the last time you adjusted the knife to Anvil gap?

 

.5mm close side to the rotor shaft and 1.5 on the far side is pretty standard over all smaller machines I have fixed in the last 26 years anyway.
