    Riko have a very nice vertical 1.2m splitter, looks the business. I think its a Uniforest. That's my next purchase, if Santa doesn't deliver.....

    I have approx 100 tones of Spruce round wood available, felled approx 4 years ago, located in Angus, Scotland. Open to sensible offers

    Do you know how many kws you will be producing, and from what size of boiler? I looked into this years ago.

    I use an air line and blow air at the chain when its getting sharpened. Stops bluing and also keeps the grinder clean at the same time. The grinder can be a fiddle to get set right, but I wouldn't do without it. I have had a lot of guys slag it off, and most have admitted it makes a better job than them.

    Any body use/own this chipper, or similar, any good? JENZ HEM 582 D Q

    Vented, without a doubt

    I put everything in log boxes to dry, takes about 3 months this way. Will take longer to dry and a heap, wouldn't take any longer than 6 months

    Larch is good stuff, when dry. Very quick and easy to process. I sell about 300 tonnes a season, and never have any complaints. Cutting and splitting Pine is a dream, like a hot knife through butter, very heavy though, doesn't really dry in the round, needs to be cut and split before it drys. Bought 150 tonnes of Pine 18 months ago, still as wet as the day it came through the door.

    I could hire you a chipper. 2 hours down the road, deal to be done.

    You should look up weidemann loaders. Brilliant machines

    Depends if you apply for a building warrant. They usually want floor vents, that can be a pain. Fitting the stove with double insulated flue ain't too hard really.

    5 within 20 miles, holly crap. Doubt they'll last, can do damage between times though
  14. briquette_seller
    Fair point, but does depend on the installation. E.g. If you use a 40 yard hook lift skip with a drying floor, chip straight into the skip, dry it, then deliver straight to the customer, the chance of contamination is low to nil. Chip on top of mud, scoop the chips off the mud onto the floor in a shed installation, and drive over the floor with muddy tyres, then contamination will be an issue, but surely this is plain and simple bad practice?

    It depends really, what is the main purpose of drying the wood chip? To reprocess into pellets or briquettes? Or simply to produce dry chip? If you just want dry chip with an "average" moisture content, I would say a biomass boiler and a drying floor is the best. If you want a constant moisture content, sub 15%, I would say a rotary drum drier was the best. I run a rotary drum drier, to get down to 6% moisture, to produce briquettes. This gives me a consistent 6%, and this is what I need. A drying floor will give you an average of say 20%, with the chip at the bottom being 15% and the stuff at the top being 25%, which is perfectly acceptable when selling dry chip.

    Drying isn't that expensive, about £9 a tonne using the right machine.

    Does the chipper have a screen in it? Can it produce consistent G30 and G50 chip, or is it more for volume reduction?
  18. briquette_seller
    Does anyone use a log bundler? How do you move/handle the bundles once you have tipped them out of the bundler?
  19. briquette_seller
    Hakki Pilke 1x50, looks the business. 30 tonne splitter. Dunno the price, but iam guessing it will hurt.....
  20. briquette_seller
    I see they are advertised on ebay. A lot of machine for the money. Shame about the seller and poor service.
  21. briquette_seller
    I knew a guy who had one and he swore by it. He thought it was a very good machine. He never had a bad word to say about the machine. I run a Pilke 1x42, very similar machine, but he recommend the Duun would take a larger diameter stick, and easier, due to the generous shape of the guards. Back up from the company he bought it from was pretty poor though, he used to say.
  22. briquette_seller
    round or square? Raw material?
  23. briquette_seller
    I have used several pallet couriers throughout the years, and Pallet-Line have always provided the best service. Cheaper couriers provided no end of hassle, and therefore at the end of the day, not any cheaper.

    Ok, I think I get it.... Because your plated weight doesn't exceed 3.5t, your Operator License exempt, but your train weight allows you to exceed 3.5t. Crazy really. I looked at a 6t little Issuzu, but would need tacho, operators license and a cpc to drive it. Stuff that
  25. briquette_seller
    Oh right, i thought if you had a loaded trailer and truck, you would be over 3.5t all in? Nice set up though, very impressive
