FAQs
When buying chipper parts, check these points:
- OEM: Uses the original manufacturer's brand, logo, and official part number.
- Aftermarket: Uses a third-party brand and its own SKU or cross-reference number.
- Packaging: OEM parts usually come in manufacturer-branded packaging; aftermarket parts use the supplier's packaging.
- Catalog listing: OEM numbers can normally be verified in the manufacturer's official parts catalog.
The three common belt types used in wood chippers are flat belts, V-belts, and timing belts.
- Flat belts: Smooth belts used for efficient power transfer over longer distances.
- V-belts: Fit into V-shaped pulley grooves and provide strong grip with minimal slipping.
- Timing belts: Use teeth that engage matching pulleys to keep shafts synchronized.
