The latest advancement in wood chipper safety, Wood Chipper Safety Shield, is a magnetic sensor system that stops power to a cutting machine if the operator’s arms or legs get too close to the machine’s cutting mechanism.

While many wood chipper manufacturers have installed a number of safety features such as feed control bars, feed stop bars and emergency pull ropes, these safety solutions are less than effective because they require instantaneous human intervention -- someone has to think and react quickly enough and be close enough to activate these safety features and hopefully prevent injury or death.

The Wood Chipper Safety Shield eliminates the need for human intervention by automating critical safety functions. Sophisticated sensors detect close proximity of a human limb to the feeding mechanism of the chipper and then instantly shut down this mechanism, stopping the feeding process and protecting the worker from serious injury.
