Woodchip being prepared from waste slabwood using a tractor powered woodchiping machine


At a small sawmill in West Wales, the slabs of wood cut from the sides of round logs are then dried and processed through a chipping machine. What used to be a waste problem for the owner is now converted into a product used to generate power in special boilers, providing heat for council offfices and other public buildings.
