This Machine is Great for Shredding Branches

You've already seen a few chippers on our channel, but this time we decided to do it a little differently.
The screw mechanism is easier to make and can be done without a lathe.
I used a 35mm drawn steel roller and 5mm plate sheet.
The pipe has an outer diameter of 160 mm and a wall thickness of approximately 5 mm.
In the video you can see that 4 or 5 cm thick branches are not a problem. I think thicker branches would have been chipped as well, but I didn't want to damage the machine, so I didn't try thicker pieces.
The motor has a power of 3 kW / 4 hp, 1400 rpm. The gearbox reduces the rotation by 7 times, so the shaft rotates at 200 rpm.

Another friggin cool machine And I cannot over emphasize how great it is that you actually use the other machines you built in the past to build these new ones!

This is fantastic! I loved the jig for making the screw part, very clever! It might be worth having an emergency stop button on the front, because of the self-feeding nature of the machine, I would hate to think what would happen if someone got a shirt sleeve or hoodie draw string caught in it.

[@dumpsterfire6351]

He needs emergency stop button! 😂

[@quantumleap359]

Excellent design. Makes a lot of sense, the shearing effect is much more productive than the flat plane chipper and has less strain on the machine. You guys are so innovative.

[@jamesdavis8021]

Very interesting design. I would think that a buildup of hard facing would be beneficial for the auger but, I really like it

[@daddydawg1902]

Beautiful Build young Man . I know I will not ever build this ... I don't have the resources, the stamina or even one tenth of your talents.. It's still a pleasure to watch True Innovation and skill. Thank you for producing this and sharing with us all.

[@DanKoning777]

*Well done* as always. Appreciate your time/effort. I hope a business recognizes the usefulness of one of your builds to partner with you some day. *God bless.*

[@Localtruthspeaker]

Absolutely fantastic. Very well done.

[@Stoddy2k]

I like your safety aspect of the shredder. Good job. 👍

[@tomim7187]

You make such sturdy practical machines! They are AWESOME!

[@SpamMouse]

Love machines like this, well done. Personally I would like the cutting axel to also have a very heavy flywheel to carry momentum through cutting thicker branches - but at the same time I would have the feed-cone to be slightly longer than a man's arm, and an electric kill-switch (bar) in easy reach of the top of that protective cone. 👍

[@deineroehre]

Threephase motors have enough momentum for this, it is not an combustion enginge which will get stuck. I strongly agree with the longer cone and protection of the output side and the emergency stop-button. This here is roughly built like the Vielitz GH-70-K series, and it is rather quiet compared to the other wood chippers with the two or four rotating blades.

[@thomasegjoergensen]

I like the way you placed the emergency-stop button so it is always easy to reach ;-)

[@kameljoe21]

I like this one quite a lot and I really like that chomper one. I had once thought about something like this that a person could chunk up bits like this for the fire place. So in theory if you had say 3 plots of the same size land you could grow some of those fast growing trees the kind that you could cut off everything except the bottom foot and they would grow back the next next year. Then you would just grow these in lines and every year at the same time you would come in and harvest how ever many lines you need for the years then chunk up the bits which you can store in meah bins and after a year you would have good seasoned firewood bits which could fill up a whole stove with and or you could use the bits to make activated charcoal which will likely be way better. You could do this with a simple water tower, a cone shape kiln. Its all really simple if you build it to work. After its sumbared in the water you can drain off the water and pump it back to the water tower and add in any extra that is needed for the next batch. Then dump off the charcoal in to another mesh type bin to dry out. Either way setting up something like this could make a person a bit of money every year.

[@Stefan-wp3pk]

With your skills you never have to be unemployed, what a nice job you did🤩, I'm impressed, thumbs up.👍

[@ryan-uu9lj]

Quite a nice machine. I'm only worried about the longevity of the blade without hardening and tempering that edge. But something I'd use nonetheless.

[@barrymorrisss]

So use carbide circular saw blades.

[@VikingShipExplorer]

Great machine you built. Keep them coming, You gave me an idea as to how to keep a sprocket on a shaft that has no key way. awesome!!

[@BEDavisBrown]

Great job and this is a better build for dealing with branches, the typical shredder usually uses a heavy flywheel with blades attached but using torque instead of speed makes this safer because of how fast the heavy flywheel can pull branches from the hand.

[@martkbanjoboy8853]

1000× better than anything at Canadian Tire. I used to use my electric mower to come down on piles of light branches. It was sometimes exciting. Had to make my own fun.

Excellent work. Seeing how you have made several firewood processing machines in the past, big logs burn slower, but those branches will burn very fast. Have you ever considered making a wood pellet machine ? Compressing those bits into pellets would make the wood burn slower👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, 🇨🇦

Yeah, that's a really awesome tool. I bet you could use a hole auger so you wouldn't have to fabricate that part. It seems simpler than a standard wood chipper. Less moving parts = better.

[@merkhava]

Zalety maszyny cicha, potrafi co nie co rozdrobnić. "Wady": brak modulowosci z innymi maszynami, przez napęd, który jest na stałe zintegrowany z urządzeniem. Dobrze by było moc przełożyć silnik między urządzeniami, czy grupę napędowa, przeze modułowa budowę napędu. Oczywiście wykonanie, pomysł bardzo dobry. Mnie imponuje bardzo niski poziom hałasu! To jest naprawdę mega.

[@cocospops9351]

I have a little bosch shredder that works that same way. Great little machine.

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho. Muito bom mesmo!

[@NapierNimbus]

Awesome job, superb engineering skills and tool making for creating the Archimedes screw. Really powerful electric motor considering powering the screw on 1 to 1 gearing.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

Making that screw was brilliant. When I saw it at first, I wondered how it would get made. The chain drive looks 1 to 1 but gearbox attached to the motor decreases the output shaft speed and increases the torque.

[@NapierNimbus]

@@rogermccaslin5963 ah, had not spotted that, thank you for letting me know 👍

[@patrickhayes3099]

Nice addition of the reverse switch. I need one of those on my chipper. That would resolve 89% of my problems. Chip size is based on the spacing of the helix, ever considered tighter spacing on the next unit? Smaller chips are preferable for composting, IMO. Does motor have a thermal overload? What amperage does that motor draw?

[@charlescamen5225]

first time on the channel. great work. I like the format less chatter and more project. in regard to the blade sharpening, I feel that there is no need to shape the blades on a taper as the spiral cutting action is a scissor action where it is the anvil and only the leading edge of the spiral contacts the timber. However a replaceable sharpened cutting edge on the drum may be of benefit as this will be subject to considerable wear - possibly.

you should probably put a big red emergency stop button on the top of that thing, in case somebodys arm gets stuck in there. You might not be worried about your own safety, but you wouldnt wannabe responsible for the death/maiming of one of your friends or family. Or even a child for that matter.
