CHIPPER SECTION

TROUBLE SHOOTING CHIPPER PROBLEMS

 

Knives should be replaced in sets.  These sets are determined by the amount of resharpening 

done to the knives.  It should be reinstalled with another knife of comparable usage.  It helps to keep 

the disc/drum balanced, and it helps maintain chip quality.  

 

NEVER allow these knives to wear beyond absolute specified minimum distance from the center 

line of bolt.

3)  Discharge Plugs or Does Not Throw Chips  

 

Properly.

 

A.  Lugging engine on large material - keep   

 

 

engine RPM up. 

 

B.  Knives are dull or worn to minimum size.

 

C.  Obstruction in discharge chute.    

 

 

 

Patches welded into the chute can cause  

 

 

obstruction of chip flow.  Anything causing  

 

 

an obstruction will cause the chute to plug.

 

D.  Chipping rotting material that has little    

 

 

substance can also plug the discharge chute.

4)  Chipper Bearings Running Too Hot.

 

A.  Improper lubrication - purge bearings once a  

 

 

day with EP- Lithium type grease.

 

B.  Chipper drum operating at too high RPM’s.   

 

 

DO NOT exceed recommended RPM’s.

 

C.  Bearings worn out (REPLACE).

 

D.  Bearing lock collar is loose.

1)  Chipper Makes Poor Quality Chips or Does  

 

Not Feed Properly. 

 

A.  Knives have lost their edge.  File, grind or  

 

 

replace knives.  

DO NOT

 operate the Bandit  

 

 

with dull knives.

 

B.  Knife anvil worn or needs adjustment.     

 

 

Rotate, repair or replace (see below).

 

C.  Chipper drum is not operating properly.

 

D.  The throat/base opening is a high-wear   

 

 

area.  The feed plate anvil takes much   

 

 

of this wear but other areas wear as  

 

 

 

well.  Attention must be paid to any areas  

 

 

where outer, noncutting edges of chipper  

 

 

knife are exposed.  These areas must be  

 

 

built up with weld to maintain the original  

 

 

integrity.

 

E.  Knives are at the wrong angle.  Knives must  

 

 

be ground at a 0° to 0 1/° angle.

 

F.  Material being chipped is very small, dry  

 

 

or rotting.  This type of material does not  

 

 

produce good chip quality.

2)  Chipper Knife Hits Anvil.

 

A.  Check the anvil clearance at both sides   

 

 

of the knife by using a feeler gauge, the   

 

 

clearance should be approximately  

 

 

 

.0” to .06” (1.1 to 1.7 mm) from the    

 

 

highest knife. 

 

B.  Check the chipper bearing bolts for  

 

 

 

tightness (SEE TORQUE CHART).

If the anvil has only slight nicks or marks, the working edge 

can be touched up with a file.  If it has any further damage, flip 

the anvil to one of the other four working edges.

1/8” (3mm) x 45° chamfer 

on each working edge

  Chipper knives are sharp and can be dangerous.  

It is always necessary for your protection to be extra 

careful and wear proper hand protection when handling 

knives.

     DANGER

  The knives must be securely fastened and torqued 

in  position.    If  one  comes  loose  or  breaks  during 

 operation, someone or something may get injured.

     DANGER

  Make sure the knife bolt heads clear the anvil anytime 

the chipper knives are changed/flipped or if the anvil 

has been adjusted.

     DANGER
