    I presume you mean £50/tonne. For comparison our chipping cost is less as the transport is over 600 tonne and our wood is easy to handle. £16/tonne sounds right to me. How are the rings going to be loaded. Even if the chipper copes the grab on the chipper will not feed it at 60 tonnes /hour so the price goes up,.We have to be desperate to pay moe than£50/tonne. Walking floor is the cheapest transport. Get a price first. Sorry to be negative but these are things to consider. The last heizohack I looked at had smaller blades than the Komptech so smaller bites. Perhaps why it coped so well.

    I still think the firewood route is the way to go. You just need someone with a splitter who is looking for hardwood. Transport to another yard via bulk tipper probably similar cost as chipping. Remember you still have to have transport after chipping so two hits.

    Explain to Dan what you want to chip. I would think they might spend as much time clearing jams as producing chip. It will be very costly per ton then.
  4. cornish wood burner
    All ringed up?
  5. cornish wood burner
    Shredded chip is not good for biomass if that is your plan. bridges, jams augers etc.We have had a load chipped with the beast, never again. Very few biomass setups could cope.
  6. cornish wood burner
    I would say a bit less for hardwood. Why chip it, surely would be more money in it to sell for firewood
  7. cornish wood burner
    The diameter is no problem but why rings. Worse possible for chipping. How long are they. Southern wood energy could do it but if short rings then it is a recipe for constant jamming. As you probably know chippers cut well across the grain but not with it.
  8. cornish wood burner
    Mainly Dan Upton Southern Wood energy. We have had many different chippers over the years but for quality, quantity and service Dan is very good. For smaller top ups we use John Wotton but he only has 300 ish hp compared to Dans 780. John produces very good chip with his new Musmax though.

    I try for 2 years if I can. We have just chipped and it is around 25%. I have seen slab wood at 18% but this batch was all round in large stacks. Contract chipping is the only way for us. Two days and our store is full again(600 tons)

    I work for a commercial nursery and we have several large glasshouses which we heat by mainly underfloor heating.
  11. cornish wood burner
    Its fine so I believe, but the wood we buy is for our biomass boiler. We dry it then chip it.
  12. cornish wood burner
    Spin it slowly by hand then check them. File the high ones to even up. Check rake angle and set as well. Presumably you have checked the bearings.

    We buy a few thousand tons of softwood a year and Mark always looks after us regarding price and supplies when we want it. If our agreed price was public then someone who wanted a few loads might feel aggrieved if they were quoted a higher price.
  14. cornish wood burner
    You could jump both ways by having a smooth plate which is easy sliding for the big rings and have a piece of chequer plate secured with a couple of bolts with wing nuts for the more manageable sizes.
  15. cornish wood burner
    I would say price is dependent on quantity. We also buy from Mark but I believe he would not want individually agreed prices made public.

    Dowty is perfect when you have a shoulder as on hydraulic fittings but not all parallell threads have suitable shoulders especially on diesel fittings. Often liquid sealers weep slightly under pressure. If you use PTFE tape make sure you wind the correct way so that when assembling you tighten the tape. Do not go over the end of the fitting. Do NOT leave old tape on the fitting. Clean first then use new tape.
  17. cornish wood burner
    Edge looks more like shredder blades to me. The chipper we hire in gets new blades or a sharpen every day

    PTFE tape

    We used to drill at least 10000 holes a year for many years on one job with a hand drill and found either Dormer or Presto the best. Pressed I would say Presto is the better. If you are drilling special steel then Cobalt but for general use as you have described Presto or Dormer.

    Have you checked if the mounting holes are exactly the same relative to the flywheel edge of the core on the original and replacement modules? Are the replacements new or secondhand? What is the resistance between the kill wire and the coil core?
  21. cornish wood burner
    Adding to Wefixits post regarding checking the coil gap. Is the old and new coil mechanicallly the same regarding mounting holes. Have you checked what resistance there is between the kill wire and frame. Internal short would kill your spark. Megger the ht lead possibly. As an aside I don't think I would risk my volt meter on a ht circuit.

    Slab wood normally is around £20 a ton as far as I remember. Best to enquire at your nearest sawmill. I would offer cash to make up for the small amount you want, might help your case. Before biomass chip became popular it was almost free but price has risen with demand. It will vary but I will try and check tomorrow to see what we pay a work. It is normally bundled but I normally tidy the yard after we have chipped for our biomass boilers so mine is loose and free. You will have a higher percentage of bark so a little more ash. Never a problem though. Lengths vary with what is being cut at the mill. Basically the waste when the good timber is cut from the tree so anything from 1 to 3 metres. Majority fit in my trailer that is 2.4 Metre long.
  23. cornish wood burner
    If you have the means of cutting wood at home. Say chop saw. You might consider slab wood from the saw mill rather than or as well as offcuts. No saw mills closer? Most would be happy to sell you slab wood at a very reasonable price. Especially if you can tidy up the waste. I used slab wood for many years and it burns well. Small pieces no splitting, dries quickly and cheap.

    Multimonti from screwfix work well. Drill a hole and screw in. Easy .
  25. cornish wood burner
    That what I was thinking but just threw it in as a cheap and simple option. All this is outside my normal field but I find it very interesting as I run large biomass boilers to heat glasshouses. Thanks for the reply.
