Dunno per tonne but 1m3 roundwood produces approx 3m3 chip I think...

 

Thats a huge increase :001_huh:

 

Once you start loading large trailers does the compaction of the chip at the bottom start too reduce the volume again??

Not much compaction until the trailer moves. Biggest compaction we have found is in the shed when the telehandler pushes in and runs on the chip. I would guess we get up to an extra 25% weight / volume in the bottom half of the shed.

Chip for our boiler is very close to 4 cube / tonne. Wet might be 2.5 as already said.
