wood chipper

Log-eating machine

A wood chipper is a machine that reduces branches, limbs, and other woody debris into small chips.

Tree services and landscapers use them to process trimmings; the resulting chips serve as mulch or ground cover.

The feed chute, rotating blades, and discharge spout make the machine distinctive—and its capacity for destruction gives it a dark place in crime fiction and horror films.
