ACACIA WOOD CHIP

In the wood processing industry, large logs shall be chiseled, cut, sawned... into beautiful wooden products with commercial value. Small pieces of wood less than 3 cm in size are called wood chips, so it can be seen that they are known as a by-product produced during the processing of wood products.

However, to be able to create a large amount of wood chips for export today, proactively creating wood chips is also being applied more commonly. From tree trunks, branches or scraps, pallets, peeled boards, veneers, and leftover wood during the wood production process, we have used high-capacity wood chipping machines that can create wood quickly and conveniently.

What are wood chips used for:

Wood chips are input materials in the production of pulp, compressed wood, incense, chipboard, etc.

Currently, Vietnam's main export markets are countries such as Korea, Japan, China and some European countries. These countries have one common characteristic: very cold winters. With flammable properties, high heat generation, and low cost, wood chips are a product chosen by countries around the world to replace other burning materials.

In addition, a large amount of wood chips originating from natural forests are used as raw materials for the production of pulp or other industrial boards such as particle board, MDF board... Depending on the different chemical and mechanical properties of the wood they shall have their own uses.

According to experts, the expansion of pulp capacity in China is also the cause of a strong increase in the number of hardwood plantations and chip processing facilities in Vietnam. This raw material for pulp production is exported mainly through the Hai Phong port area and along the central ports.

At many ports in the Central region such as Ky Ha (Quang Nam), Dung Quat (Quang Ngai), Chan May (Thua Thien - Hue)... there are regularly bulk cargo ships docking just to transport wood chips to Korean, Japanese and Chinese markets. With limited domestic supply, China will continue to rely on neighboring countries to provide raw materials for pulp production in the future.
