Description
The Bartly drum chippers or wood chippers are heavy-duty industrial machines designed for the chipping and shredding of logs, wood residues and biomass, producing uniform, high-quality wood chips. With a wide range of models available, Bartly chippers adapt to different production needs, from small sawmills to large industrial facilities for wood processing and energy generation.
Performance and efficiency
Equipped with high-performance cutting drums, Bartly chippers guarantee continuous, precise and consistent cutting, even when processing high volumes of material. The cutting chamber, designed with hardened steel knives and an efficient discharge system, ensures optimal fragmentation and uniform chip size, delivering superior output quality.
Mechanically welded structure and industrial construction
The chippers are built with a mechanically welded steel frame engineered to withstand demanding workloads and ensure long-term durability. All components are manufactured from high-strength materials and precisely assembled to guarantee stability, low vibration and minimal maintenance. This robust construction makes Bartly chippers ideal for intensive, continuous operation in industrial environments.
Feeding and discharge systems
Bartly drum chippers can be equipped with a variety of feeding and discharge systems tailored to each production layout. These include belt conveyors, vibrating feeders and hydraulic feeding tables, ensuring constant, safe material input and optimised productivity while reducing operator effort.
Safety and control
All Bartly chippers are equipped with safety devices and can be integrated with advanced control and monitoring systems. Operation is simple, safe and fully adaptable, with automatic material-flow regulation and real-time performance monitoring to reduce downtime and maximise efficiency.

Frequently asked questions about Bartly drum chippers
What is the difference between a drum chipper and a disc chipper?
A drum chipper provides greater uniformity in chip size and allows continuous cutting, making it ideal for large-scale industrial biomass and energy production. A disc chipper is better suited for medium-capacity operations or more compact installations.
What types of wood can be processed?
Bartly chippers can process logs, slabs, offcuts, forestry residues and recycled wood. The feeding system can be adjusted according to the material type, length and diameter.
Can the chipper be integrated into automatic production lines?
Yes. Bartly drum chippers can be integrated with vibrating conveyors, belt-transport systems and suction units, enabling full automation and synchronisation with the rest of the production line.
