Moving chips is typically handled mechanically or pneumatically. Inter-Source manufactures all types — screw, twin screw, H-chain, trough, drag, in-floor push bar, steel belt, side-wing — and in all sizes for efficient transport. Mechanical conveyors can be installed above the floor or under the floor.

Drag conveyors can be configured in various widths. They are used to pull out scrap, move chips through an elevation change, or remove chips and fines from the bottom of settling tanks, providing primary filtration.

Steel belt conveyors are used for transporting stringy chips.
This video shows a steel belt conveyor feeding a shredder with another steel belt perpendicular to and below the shredder to convey the shredded material on for further processing.

Automatic swivel chute transport ensures even distribution no matter the container type.
m_con013
Telescoping chutes accommodate different trailer sizes. In this innovative design, the chutes hinge for container removal, no need for their manual relocation.
