Recommended Posts

would it limit you to the type of brash which would be appropiate?

I.E people wouldnt want a bag full of conifer sticks and needles

any way of changing the size of the end produce-e.g convert it to standard chip??

very intresting

 

Its chunks or nothing I'm afraid. Not sure about the connifer needles, but a bag of connifer kindling usually sells for £2 these days...

As for the small stuff, it still just chops it into small lengths. It all burns:001_smile:

 

Firewood mulch eh :001_smile:

 

Think I'll really blunt the blades on the chipper and create some that way :001_tongue:

I think there's a product there Ed. Even if you employed some labour to sort it - the production rate would be higher when processing the smaller diameter stuff, safer too.

 

If your running a biomass boiler unit, I don't suppose you care about twigs going in with the logs... Like Dean say - just shovel it in!!! It would certainly dry quicker than larger logs?!?!

i think its a top idea if it was conifer ect take the chipper

we have been discussing how we could press chips into logs like the paper log idea or strapboard idea

that machine does not look expensive

to be able to log up small cord would be ace

chimenea,s would be ideal

we have had to start tipping elsewhere as they told us to keep tipping and they would keep pushing it up pile got that big it shut the road i got a telling off for tipping in the middle of the road and blocking someone in but there was no where else to put it

By the time they realise it's no good for small installations the whole lot will be to rotten for the power stations as well...heh ho... :)

Ed, could you not just build a conveyor that was two conveyors in one, a very open mesh conveyor ridding say 6 inches over a rubber mat conveyor so that the small stuff falls through the mesh onto the rubber mat. I the mesh conveyor is longer you could have your pickup back spit into two compartments, the bigger lumps going into one compartment and the small bits into another.
