A drum chipper and method providing for air cooling. A drum member, a knife, and a carrier for mounting the knife to the drum member are provided. The carrier comprises an upper clamping member and a lower clamping member for clamping the knife therebetween. The carrier is adapted to mount to the drum member at axially spaced apart mounting positions thereon. The apparatus is advantageously used to chip heat sensitive materials, such as plastic, particularly where the carrier is spaced above and unsupported by the drum member over a span defined between the mounting positions to provide for airflow between the drum member and the carrier.
