- the main product of wood grinding. There are technological, green, fuel and decorative chips.

Fractions of crushed wood

- shredded wood obtained as a result of crushing wood raw materials with chippers and special devices. Technological chips - purified standard material intended for pulp and paper and hydrolysis industries, the manufacture of fiberboard and chipboard. Technological chips are made from high-quality wood, which does not include branches, stumps, roots and other wastes of the forest industry. Depending on the type of production, technological chips may have restrictions on the source wood according to the type of wood. Various grades of technological chips allow impurities: bark 1...15%, rot 1...5%, minerals (sand) 0...0.5%. Charred particles and metal inclusions are not allowed. The main standard particle size of technological chips is 10...20mm. Technological chips may contain a fraction of 20...30 mm in the amount of 3...10% and a fraction of 5...10 mm in the amount of 0...10% of the total mass. The general particle size limit for technological chips is 5...30mm. For the production of particle boards, chips with a particle length of up to 60 mm and a width of up to 30 mm are allowed. Accounting for technological chips is made in cubic meters of dense mass, depending on the type of wood, rounded up to 0.1 cubic meters. Coefficients for converting the volume of chips into dense wood pulp: 0.36 - freshly shipped chips, 0.40 - transportation up to 50 km, 0.42 - transportation over 50 km, 0.43 - at the end of transportation over a distance of 500 km. green wood chips - an intermediate product of the forest industry, used as a technological raw material or fuel. The size of the fraction and the amount of admixture of bark, leaves, mineral and other substances is established at the level of on-farm documentation. fuel chips - chips for the production of thermal energy. There are no standards for wood chips. The size of the fraction and the amount of impurities for fuel chips are indicated by the manufacturer of the heating equipment. The manufacturer of fuel equipment is not limited in the choice of fraction and quality of burned wood chips. Inter-farm (trade) shipment of fuel chips is made after the fact - either in volume units (cubic meter), or in weight units (tons, kg). Decorative wood chips - material for designers. Restrictions on wood species, size and shape of particles, color of color are imposed only by designer's imagination. wood shavings

Shavings - thin particles of wood formed in the process of mechanical processing (wood cutting). Distinguish shavings-waste and specially made shavings. Waste shavings have no industrial value and are used as fuel or secondary (litter in animal husbandry) raw materials. Specially made technological shavings are used in the production processes of the pulp and paper and hydrolysis industries. The bulk density of specially made crushed technological chips, with a fraction of 5-8 mm, is in the range of 10-25% of the density of ordinary wood. Specially made technological shavings are similar to ordinary sawdust. In the 60-80s, specially made shavings (GOST 5244-79) were used as packaging material for fruits and glass products. sawdust

Sawdust - woodworking waste - small particles of wood formed in the process of sawing wood. Technological sawdust- sawdust cleaned for industrial needs, containing no more than 8% bark, 5% rot and 0.5% mineral impurities. According to GOST 18320-78, the size of sawdust fraction is 1...30mm. At the same time, the content of a fraction of less than 1 mm in an amount of up to 10% and a fraction of more than 30 mm in an amount of up to 5% of the total sawdust mass is allowed. Sawdust is accounted for in cubic meters of dense mass, depending on the type of wood, rounded up to 0.1 cubic meters. The coefficients for converting the volume of sawdust into dense wood pulp: 0.28 - freshly shipped sawdust, 0.34 - transportation from 5km to 50km, 0.36 - transportation from 50km to 500km, 0.38 - at the end of transportation over a distance of more than 500km. The bulk density of sawdust varies between 220-420 kg/m³ for dry sawdust (8-15% humidity) and 320-580 kg/m³ for wet sawdust (from 15% humidity). Wood flour Wood dust Unsorted wood particles, up to 1mm in size.

Terms and properties of chopped wood

Particle size Length corresponds to the size along the fibers, width - the largest size across the fibers, thickness - the smallest size across the fibers. Fraction The totality of wood particles, similar in their geometric dimensions. The maximum size for a fraction particle is determined by its largest side. Fractional composition Quantitative ratio of the fraction to the total mass of chopped wood Fraction large, conditioned, small The size range is set for the fraction, for example 5..15 mm. Wood particles within the specified limits are called conditioned, the rest - large or small, respectively.
