FRA's Western Region recently completed revisions to the Chip Quality Manual - Quality Chips Make a Difference. First published in 1998, back in American Pulpwood Association days, with a second edition in 2005, this 3rd edition is a comprehensive summary covering all aspects of chip production including chip quality, debarking, chipping, screening and conveying, and troubleshooting. New enhancements and additions include updated information on debarking, screening and chipper/canter systems. This product has proved of high value to our members over the years and is targeted to support all who are involved in the production and consumption of chips.

The manual is produced as a small pocket guide and is also available as a PDF for training purposes. Along with the manual, the pocket-sized chip gauge allows for quick evaluation of chip size.
