QUICK ANSWER

Rajshree Group manufactures and supplies high-performance Disc Chippers and complete Chipping Systems for pulp and paper mills. Uniform chip size is critical for consistent pulp quality and optimal chemical penetration in the digester.

PROVEN TRACK RECORD

In 2021 we supplied and commissioned a complete 100 TPD kraft pulp mill in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh — wood yard, digester, brown-stock washing, bleaching and pulp dryer. Since 2003, Rajshree Group has delivered 22+ pulp and paper projects across three continents — India, Africa and the Middle East — totalling over 2,000 TPD of installed capacity.

Why Chip Quality Directly Determines Pulp Quality

In kraft pulping, cooking liquor penetrates wood chips primarily through the ends and cross-section — not through the sides. This means chip thickness is the single most critical dimension: over-thick chips lead to incomplete delignification at the core (producing dark, high-kappa "rejects"), while over-thin chips and excessive fines are over-delignified, wasting fibre and increasing chemical consumption. Rajshree's disc chippers are designed to produce the uniformly sized chips that make pulp quality predictable and consistent.

Our chippers are fitted with precision-machined Swedish-grade tool steel knives mounted on heavy-duty cast steel discs. Knife-to-anvil clearance is factory-set and field-adjustable via micrometric knife clamps — a feature critical in tropical environments where wood species and moisture content vary seasonally. Knife replacement is a single-operator task achievable in under two hours, minimising production downtime.

Downstream of the chipper, Rajshree's chip screening system separates oversized chips (for re-chipping), acceptable chips, pin chips, and fines into individual fractions. Only the accept fraction enters the chip silo — maximising cooking uniformity and reducing reject rates at the digester.

🪚 Target Chip Specification

Rajshree chippers are calibrated to produce chips of 20–25 mm length and 3–5 mm target thickness — the internationally accepted window for kraft pulping. Chip acceptance rate (material within spec) typically exceeds 88% of input wood volume, with less than 3% fines generation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rajshree's drum and disc chippers can process all commercially important pulpwood species: eucalyptus, acacia, pine, poplar, mixed hardwoods, Gmelina, bamboo logs, and plantation thinnings. The chipper knives, counter knives, and screen plate apertures are configured for the specific species being processed to produce the correct chip size distribution.
For chemical pulping, the target chip size is 15–25 mm length with 3–6 mm thickness. Undersized chips (fines) cause pulp yield loss. Oversized chips are under-cooked, increasing the kappa number and screening rejects. Rajshree's chipping plants include a chip screening system to remove oversize and fines before the digester feed.
Rajshree supplies chipping plants from 5 ODT/hr to 50 ODT/hr (oven-dry tonnes per hour). Capacity is matched to the pulp mill digester feed rate with a chip bin providing surge storage between the chipper and digester. For a 50 TPD pulp mill, a single drum chipper of 8–12 ODT/hr is typically sufficient for single-shift operation.
Knife life depends on wood species and dry matter content. For plantation softwoods and eucalyptus, knife sets typically last 8–16 hours before resharpening. Rajshree supplies knife sets in quantities sufficient for 6–12 months as part of the commissioning spare parts package and provides knife grinding equipment on request.
Yes. Rajshree's chippers can process both softwood and hardwood species, with knife profile and speed adjustments for optimal chip quality from each species. Mills that use a mix of plantation softwood and hardwood can process them through the same chipper by adjusting knife setting. A chip blending bin downstream provides uniform composition to the digester.
