(A) clear their own needs
In the purchase of wood crusher, first of all, to clarify their own needs. From the point of view of the type of wood, if you often deal with hardwood, such as rosewood, rosewood, etc., you need to choose a crusher that can cope with the high hardness of the material; if it is a softwood such as cedar, pine, the choice of the scope of a relatively wider range of some. For branches, roots, and wood processing plants produce different forms of wood materials such as trimmings, but also have to consider whether the crusher can effectively deal with. Output requirements are also very critical, if you need to handle a large amount of wood per hour, you should pick a larger, high-power machine; on the contrary, a small one may be able to meet. In terms of crushing size, if you want the wood to be crushed into fine wood chips for making edible fungi sticks, you should choose a crusher that can reach the corresponding fineness; if you use it for biomass energy production, the size requirement is not so fine, and you can relax the selection criteria accordingly. In addition, the workplace space should not be ignored, if the space is limited, you have to choose the right size, small footprint equipment, to ensure that it can be reasonably placed and normal operation.
(B) understand the common types
There are many types of wood crusher, each with its own application and working characteristics. Shear crusher is suitable for processing smaller wood, wood chips, twigs and leaves, etc. It usually relies on high-speed rotating blades to carry out shearing operations, such as dealing with some of the garden pruning down the fine branches is very suitable. Hammer crusher is good at dealing with harder wood, such as hardwood and planks, it is through the hammer head impact wood to achieve the purpose of crushing, in the wood processing plant for the initial processing of logs can play a better effect on the large blocks of wood can play a good crushing the beginning of the role of the follow-up can be combined with other types of crusher to further refinement of the process. Understanding the characteristics of these different types helps to accurately select the right wood crusher for their use according to the actual situation.
(C) Consider the budget and maintenance costs
When choosing a wood crusher, in addition to focusing on the purchase cost, the subsequent maintenance cost of the equipment must also be taken into account. The maintenance requirements and expenditures on consumables vary greatly between different types of machines. For example, shear crusher may need to regularly replace worn blades, hammer crusher should pay attention to the wear and tear of the hammer head, to a certain extent, it must be replaced in a timely manner, in order to ensure the crushing effect and normal operation of the equipment. The replacement cost of these consumables is also a considerable amount of money over time. Therefore, when doing the budget, make sure that the budget not only covers the initial purchase cost of the equipment, but also fully consider the subsequent long-term use of maintenance, replacement of consumables and other costs, to avoid the budget is not enough to affect the normal use of equipment and the production plan to promote.
