chipper feed problems

[charlie batten]

Hi, ill try and be brief with this. When we're feeding brash into the chipper it seems to be butting up to something before it hits the fly wheel. So you have to take it out trun it round and try again, very annoying. I have changed the anvil as the one that was on was too short, but it doesnt seem to have solved the problem. I wonder if the bottom roller might need building up as it is a very old machine. Has anyone else had this kind of problem? The chipper is an old 8" eurogreen turntable pezzalato.

 

Any help would be awesome as its soooooooooooo annoying!!!!

Very common problem on those eurogreen machines, the end of the timber hits the leading egde of the anvil- we solved the problem on ours by welding a 3mm plate to the bottom of the infeed, between the rear of the feed rollers and the front of the anvil, grind it smooth to create a ramp to clear the anvil- sold it 12 years ago though as it spent more time being repaired rather than earning money:(
