PALLET CHIPPERS SPE1300
Heizomat SPE 1300 Pallet Chipper – Electric Pallet Shredding Machine
The Heizomat SPE 1300 is a stationary electric pallet chipper designed for converting waste pallets and clean wood residues into high-quality biomass fuel. Built for pallet yards, sawmills, manufacturers and biomass operators across New Zealand and Australia, the SPE 1300 transforms disposal costs into valuable 30–50 mm fuel-grade wood chips with low energy consumption and minimal maintenance.
Processing up to 20–30 pallets per hour using just 18.5 kW of electrical power, this industrial pallet shredding machine offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for on-site pallet recycling.
The SPE 1300 pallet chipper produces consistent G30–G50 wood chips suitable for commercial biomass heating systems.
Unlike complex forced-feed shredders, the SPE 1300 uses gravity-assisted material feed, reducing mechanical stress and lowering power demand. The cutting unit is belt-driven via electric motor, providing smooth, reliable operation in stationary installations.

The Heizohack HM 10-860 KF is a large-format crane-fed industrial drum chipper built for serious forestry contractors, biomass producers and land clearing operations. With a 690mm chipping drum and 877mm infeed width, it processes whole trees, large logs and heavy forestry slash at sustained high output. Built in Bavaria, Germany.
The HM 10-860 KF has a larger chipping drum — 690mm versus 500mm on the HM 10-500 — and weighs 9,600kg versus 8,500kg. The larger drum and increased flywheel mass deliver higher throughput capacity, making the 10-860 suited to larger-scale forestry, land clearing and biomass operations. Both machines share the same crane-fed configuration and German build quality.
Yes — ALFA Equipment currently has two Heizohack HM 10-860 KF machines available for immediate dispatch from Germany. One is brand new, one is a factory ex-demo machine. Both are genuine manufacturer machines. ALFA Equipment is the exclusive authorised Heizohack distributor for New Zealand and Australia.
The HM 10-860 is available in two configurations. The KF (crane-fed) is fed by an external crane — such as a PALMS forestry crane mounted on your tractor using a JAKE system. This suits operators who already run a tractor crane setup or want the flexibility of the complete PALMS + JAKE + Heizohack integrated system.
The KTL includes an integrated loading crane mounted directly on the machine's drawbar, making it a self-contained unit without needing a separate tractor-mounted crane. The KTL is heavier at approximately 13,200kg due to the integrated crane versus 9,600kg for the KF.
ALFA Equipment currently has one HM 10-860 KF and one HM 10-860 KTL available for immediate dispatch from Germany. Contact us to discuss which configuration suits your operation best.
Yes — contact ALFA Equipment to discuss demonstration options for the HM 10-860. We have both KF and KTL configurations available for immediate dispatch from Germany. Once these units are allocated, lead times return to standard factory production schedules — so we encourage early enquiry.

FAQ
Heizohack wood chippers are designed for large-scale processing, with infeed capacities up to 800mm depending on the model. They are built to handle whole trees, oversized timber and high-volume material.
For high-volume commercial work, yes. Drum chippers have a wider infeed throat, handle irregular and forked material more easily, and deliver higher throughput than disc chippers of equivalent power. Disc chippers suit arborist work where chip uniformity matters. For forestry, land clearing and biomass production at scale, a drum chipper is the right tool.
A drum chipper uses a large rotating steel drum with blades bolted to its outer surface — as the drum spins it pulls material in and chips it against a stationary anvil. Drum chippers excel at processing large, bulky and irregular timber at high volume. Disc chippers are better suited to smaller-diameter material where chip consistency is the priority.
Heizohack chippers are used in forestry, biomass production and large-scale wood processing. They are suited to contractors processing whole trees, waste wood, pallets and high volumes of timber.
Forestry chippers are typically used for whole tree processing, while biomass chippers focus on consistent output and chip quality. Heizohack systems are designed to handle both applications. Read "Why Heizohack Biomass Wood Chippers lead for large-scale chipping in NZ"
Output depends on the model, material type and feeding method, but Heizohack chippers are built for continuous, high-volume production. In real-world operations, they are designed to process large timber and biomass efficiently while maintaining consistent chip quality across varying material.
The right chipper depends on the size of material you’re processing, the volume required and how the machine will be fed (crane, digger or manual). Larger models are suited to whole tree and high-output work, while smaller setups may suit lower volume or more mobile operations. The best approach is to match the machine to your workflow and production goals.
