Wood crusher and wood treating method

摘要

A wood crusher comprises a body frame (36); a crushing apparatus (12) installed on the body frame (36) and including a crushing rotor (61) rotated in a crushing chamber (60); a feed conveyor (11) installed on one side of the body frame (36) in the longitudinal direction thereof and including a drive wheel (40), a driven wheel (41), and a running member (42) looped between the drive wheel (40) and the driven wheel (41), thereby conveying woods to be crushed to the crushing apparatus (12); a bottom-equipped hopper (10) having side walls (16) on both sides of the feed conveyor (11) in the transverse direction thereof, and a bottom wall (18) disposed under the feed conveyor (11); and a guide member (47) disposed in continuation with the bottom wall (18) of the hopper (10) at a position near the drive wheel (40) of the feed conveyor (11) to prevent wood pieces from accumulating near the drive wheel (40). This wood crusher is able to prevent the wood pieces from being dropped onto the ground during the crushing work, and to ensure the smooth operation state of the feed conveyor (11).
