HT 55/60/4
The Scanhugger HT 55/60/4 wood chipper is mounted with a solid steel drum rotor designed to produce the requested chip size. The straight knives are mounted with a special wedge system that lock and secure the knives in the rotor. This system is ideal for shredding short or long lengths of solid waste wood, from the timber sizing and wood processing industry in order to produce a defined homogeneous wood chip.

The ideal shredder for timber sizing and the wood processing industry
The Scanhugger HT 55/60/4 horizontal wood shredder rotor system is a solid, precision machined steel drum. It features straight knives that are mounted using a special wedge system that locks and secures the knives in the rotor. This system is ideal for chipping solid wood slabs, edgings, and off-cuts to defined chip size.
The wood shredder’s reliability comes from its sturdy steel construction and its proven technology. The system monitors and eliminates overloading of the main motor, thereby maximizing the cutting action and the output of the wood chips. The system builds on very few moving parts and therefore further reduces future maintenance costs.
In addition, the HT 55/60/4 features a mechanism that detects foreign objects and automatically shuts down the wood shredder. This prevents damage to the cutting unit. The two unique knife designs can easily shred rib edgings and off-cuts and produces a high-quality granulate of 15 – 35 mm that is well suited for thermal utilization or briquetting.
We offer turnkey solutions with high customizability. Each of our wood chippers is customized to your needs. The machines can be equipped with a metal separator, a vibratory infeed conveyor system or a customized hopper or combined with other machines for further refinement of the granulate. We produce special sound isolation housings which makes it possible for the machine to be placed directly in-line the woodworking machine for the processing of MDF and solid wood. This optimizes the sound environment and minimizes waste wood transportation.

The rotor is a solid steel drum, precision machined to obtain the requested chip size and quality. The straight knives are mounted with a special wedge system that while utilizing the flywheel effect of the rotor, lock and secure the knives.
The counter knife support is divided into 2 parts; a stationary support locked in place, and a removable part to which the actual counter knife is mounted to. This construction forms a precision seat for the counter knife and allows for easy removal of the counter knife.


Machined and surface hardened “pineapple style” infeed rollers stop when the rotor reaches its maximum load. As the load decreases, the feed works starts up again. This start/stop sequence eliminates overloads of the rotor.
The rugged, heavy duty main frame and rotor along with the chrome nickel shaft and oversized roller bearings are engineered to accommodate the heavy shock loads typical of drum chippers.
