Installation of 20-Ton Chipper in Can Tho – Efficient Wood Processing Line Solution with GREEN MECH
As part of the strategy to enhance wood processing capacity in the Mekong Delta, many businesses are modernizing by investing in high-capacity, durable industrial equipment.
A standout project is the installation of 20-ton chipper in Can Tho by GREEN MECH – an optimal solution that allows customers to manage wood chip supply, reduce production costs, and meet increasingly demanding market requirements. This represents not only an equipment upgrade but also a sustainable step forward for the local wood processing value chain.

Actual Requirements from Customers in Can Tho
In this project, the client required a high-capacity wood chipper system to produce wood chips for in-house processing or supply to industrial partners. During the survey and consultation, GREEN MECH’s technical team identified several key criteria prioritized by the client:
- Machine capacity must reach 20 tons/hour or more to meet large orders.
- Ability to process whole, fresh logs, including species such as acacia and eucalyptus.
- Machine design must suit the existing facility layout, without the need for a pit or recessed foundation.
- The system should be easy to maintain, simple to operate, and stable for long-term use.
Based on these requirements, GREEN MECH proposed and installed the GM-20DC model – a horizontal-feed wood chipper with a 20-ton/hour capacity, manufactured directly in Vietnam and optimized for domestic production conditions.
Introduction to the GREEN MECH GM-20DC Horizontal Wood Chipper
The GM-20DC model belongs to the heavy-duty industrial chipper segment, specifically designed to process fresh logs with diameters up to 250 mm. The machine is equipped with a large-diameter chopping disc of up to 1,200 mm, combined with 8 alloy chopping knives measuring 380 x 145 x 16 mm, allowing it to produce uniform wood chips that meet technical standards for use in various processing industries.
A key feature of this model is its horizontal feed and bottom discharge design, eliminating the need for a chip storage pit as required in traditional vertical chippers. This design helps customers save significantly on foundation costs and installation time while fitting well into pre-existing factory layouts.
The entire drive system of the machine is powered by a SIEMENS motor with 110 kW output at 960 RPM – a world-leading industrial motor brand. This motor ensures stable and powerful chipping performance, high durability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance for long-term use.
Intelligent Control Cabinet – Automatic Feed Adjustment
Accompanying the wood chipping machine is a synchronized control cabinet, custom-designed by GREEN MECH to industrial standards. The cabinet uses imported control devices from Taiwan, South Korea, or Vietnam, with a powder-coated anti-rust exterior and a logical layout for easy operation.
One of the standout features of the control cabinet is its ability to automatically adjust the feed speed according to the actual operating load of the main motor. Specifically, if the motor load exceeds the preset threshold, the system reduces the amount of wood being fed to protect the machine, and then automatically restores it when the load returns to a stable range. This ensures the machine always operates within safe limits, minimizing damage and extending the lifespan of the entire system.
Additionally, the cabinet integrates an INVT frequency inverter, allowing soft start, reducing electrical shock, protecting the motor, and saving energy. Other functions such as phase protection, current monitoring, warning lights, and emergency stop buttons are all fully equipped to ensure operational safety.
Practical Benefits After Installing the 20-Ton Wood Chipper in Can Tho
Immediately after the wood chipping system was put into operation, the customer in Can Tho observed significant improvements in the production process:
- Production capacity of wood chips doubled compared to the old equipment
- Uniform chip quality, free from fragmentation, meeting output standards
- Stable operation with minimal manual intervention, reducing the required workforce
- No time or cost spent on building a discharge pit, shortening installation time
- Energy savings thanks to intelligent load adjustment
Using the 20-ton horizontal wood chipper also allows the customer to manage raw material supply proactively, whether expanding into pellet production, MDF boards, or supplying industrial paper processing partners in the future.
