WoodA tree chipper or wood chipper is a machine used for shrinking wood (generally tree limbs or trunks) into smaller woodchips. They are often portable, being mounted on wheels on frames appropriate for towing behind a truck or van. Power is mostly provided by an internal combustion engine from 3 horsepower (2.2 kW) to 1,000 horsepower (750 kW). Tree chippers are typically made of a hopper with a collar, the chipper mechanism itself, and an optional collection bin for the chips. A tree limb is inserted into the hopper and started into the chipping mechanism. The chips exit through a chute and can be directed into a truck-mounted container or onto the ground. Typical output is chips on the order of 1 inch (3 cm) to 2 inches (5 cm) in size. The final wood chips have uses such as being spread as a ground cover or being fed into a digester during papermaking. Chipper Machines Market Share, Insights by 2031
