G50 wood chip, any good?

[briquette_seller]

I have been asked on several occasions to produce G50 spec chip.

Being a firewood merchant, iam not all that clued up on whats good and whats not when it comes to wood chip.

 

Not 100% sure what boilers want/need.

 

Here is a few pictures of what my machine produced, any thoughts/comments would be much appreciated.

 

Iam not sure if this is of good enough quality?

I'm no expert, but that does not look great, what were you chipping?? branch wood??

No, it was round wood, felled approx 2 years ago, spruce, pine and larch

What chipper??

[Mortimer Firewood]

There should be no long shards in there and be a lot more uniform than that what chipper produced that?

[renewablejohn]

If it was mine it would all be rejected as it has far to many long shards which creates problems with most auger feeds. What sort of chipper is it and does it have a G50 screen in the chipper.

 

Looks more like output from a shredder than a chipper.

The machine is not a dedicated "chipper"

The machine was set up as a chipper, i.e sharp knifes and a screen

Why can't you simple tell us what machine it is??

If that is the quality its producing I would send it back and treat yourself to a tried and tested Heizohack chipper. I discounted other biomass chippers due to the high power needed for the same quality of output.

Bandit Beast 1680.

 

Wasnt bought for its "chipping" capabilities, but due to a change in circumstances, i thought rather than it sitting going rusty, i could chip with it.

 

It doesnt look like its going to meet the grade though.
