Horizontal Tree Branch Crusher
Taizy tree branch crusher turns pruning waste, storm debris, and pallet scrap into uniform wood chips in one pass. A 300×200mm widened inlet accepts branches up to 200mm in diameter—roughly 30% larger than the opening on standard chippers. Two configurations: a 32 HP diesel for off-grid sites and a 22kW electric for grid-stable operations. Both versions share the same Φ300 mm SKD-11 blade and the same hydraulic feed roller. Starting price: USD 3,000 FOB. If you need more details, welcome to contact us at any time!

Structure of Tree Branch Shredder Machine
The tree branch crusher has five major assemblies working together. Each one is built for the kind of rough use a chipper takes on a working farm or a landscaping site. The details are as follows:
5 Features That Set This Tree Branch Crusher Apart
Widened Inlet — 300×200mm
The 300×200mm feed opening is wider than the opening on entry-level wood chippers. Branches up to 200mm in diameter go straight in, no pre-cutting. A storm-debris crew typically finishes the job 30-40% faster with a widened-inlet machine because the chainsaw pre-cut step is eliminated.
The hydraulic feed roller then pulls the branch in at a steady pace, so the operator stays on the controls instead of forcing material by hand.
Diesel Engine — 32HP, One-Button Start
The 32HP diesel drives the rotor off the grid, which makes it the right fit for Africa, Southeast Asia, and any site without stable three-phase power. Electric start, a 600W onboard generator, and a 12V 105AH battery mean key-start every morning, no pulling cords.
The electric version swaps the diesel for a 22kW (4-pole) motor at 2,900 rpm and replaces the engine service items with an air-switch start—better suited to indoor operations, biomass facilities, and municipal sites with stable three-phase power.
SKD-11 High-Speed Steel Blade — 4× the Life
Both versions run 3 moving blades plus 1 fixed blade, all in SKD-11 Japanese high-speed tool steel. SKD-11 holds its edge through abrasive material—dirty branches, sandy bark—far longer than the carbon-steel blades fitted to most chippers in this class.
Field reports from Taizy farms show SKD-11 blades running 800-1,200 hours before resharpening, against 200-300 hours for standard carbon steel. The 300mm blade length matches the 300mm roller for full-width cuts with no uncut strip in the middle.
Adjustable Support Bracket — Level on Any Ground
The support bracket is height-adjustable, so the chassis stays level on slopes, gravel, soft soil, or rough pasture. Without the bracket, a chipper on uneven ground twists the frame, and the rotor drifts out of alignment over time.
The bracket also tilts to expose the underside for cleaning, blade changes, and rotor access.
For a contractor moving between sites, the bracket turns a 30-minute setup into 5 minutes.
Pneumatic Tire — 165/70 r13, Towable at 60 km/h
The 165/70 r13 pneumatic tire is a standard automotive size, which matters for two reasons.
First, the chipper tows on a public road at up to 60 km/h behind a car or small truck—no flatbed required.
Second, when a tire fails, any local tire shop handles it in 20 minutes. A solid industrial tire, by contrast, has to be shipped back to a specialty supplier.
The 13-inch aluminum-alloy wheel hub keeps the wheel light and resists corrosion in coastal or humid climates.
Diesel vs Electric Tree Branch Crusher: Which One Do You Need?
The wood chipper chamber is identical on both versions. The choice comes down to three operational factors:
- Site power. No grid or unstable grid → diesel. Stable three-phase inside a building → electric.
- Working hours. Electric motors cost less per hour—no diesel, no engine service. For two-shift operation inside a biomass plant, electric pays back the wiring cost in 12-18 months.
- Mobility. The diesel unit is the choice for any contractor or municipal crew that needs to tow between sites. The electric unit is best suited for permanent installation at a single location.
For a 40-hectare farm or a landscaping business that moves between sites, the diesel version is the default. For a stationary biomass pellet line or a municipal recycling depot with three-phase power, the electric version pays back faster over time.
Where This Tree Branch Crusher Fits
- Tree services and landscapers — turn pruning debris into mulch on-site, eliminate haul-away trips to the landfill.
- Farms and orchards — process prunings, storm damage, and old pallets into bedding or compost feedstock.
- Biomass facilities — produce uniform chip size for pellet lines, boiler feed, or mushroom substrate.
- Municipal depots — handle public-works green waste, parks pruning, and right-of-way clearing.
- Recycling operators — process pallet scrap, formwork timber, and demolition wood waste.
For how the chipper fits into a complete biomass or compost line, see our silage baler and downstream TMR feed mixer pages—many Taizy farms use the chipper to produce stall bedding that goes straight into the feeding line.

Daily Maintenance and Safety of Wood Chipper
Three checks keep the tree branch crusher machine running at full throughput:
- Before every shift: check blade edge for nicks, confirm hydraulic feed roller pressure, inspect tire pressure (visual check at minimum).
- Every 100 hours: grease all fittings, check belt tension, inspect the SKD-11 blade edge for resharpening need.
- Every 1,000 hours: replace hydraulic oil, inspect rotor bearings, replace blades if edge life is exhausted.
Safety basics: feed material with the hydraulic roller engaged, never by hand. Use the forward-reverse-stop control to clear jams. Wear gloves, eye protection, and hearing protection—the chipper runs at 2,600-2,900 r/min and the noise level at one meter is consistently above 95 dB.
FAQs of Tree Branch Crusher Machine
What size branches can the 300x200mm inlet handle?
Up to 200mm in diameter. The widened inlet accepts whole branches with no pre-cutting, which is the main time-saver on landscaping and storm-cleanup jobs. Anything over 200mm needs a chainsaw pre-cut or a heavier-duty tree branch shredder.
How long does the SKD-1l blade last before resharpening?
800-1,200 working hours on typical landscaping and farm material, against 200-300 hours for standardcarbon-steel blades. Resharpening takes about 30 minutes with a bench grinder. Full blade replacement is recommended after 2-3 resharpenings.
Can I convert a diesel unit to electric later?
Not as a field conversion. The rotor mounting, belt drive, and electrical control box are different between the two versions. If you expect to relocate from an off-grid site to a grid-connected facility, plan to buy the configuration that matches your long-term site.
What does the tree branch crusher cost?
USD 3,000 FOB for the base configuration. Final price depends on the diesel vs electric option, blade count, spare parts kit, and destination port.
