Cost Comparison at the Woodyard Chip File of Clean Woodland Chips and Chips Produced in the Woodyard from Roundwood, 1991 Pulping Conference Proceedings

A cost comparison is made between a standard method of producing chips (i.e. chips produced from roundwood in a woodyard) and the production of clean chips in the woods with chain flail delimber-debarkers and woodland chippers. The comparison considers:

(1) Harvesting costs (to include chipping in the woods),

(2) Transportation costs, and

(3) Woodyard costs (handling and chipping).

The comparison is based on detailed field trials and extensive data collected on the quality of chips produced both in the woodyards and with woodland chippers. Cost estimates are based on typical harvesting, trucking, and woodyard operations and do not reflect the costs of any particular operation.
