Abstract: A method for producing wood chips for the production of chipboards includes a material supply unit in at least one first carrying structure, a first mechanical sorting unit for the material to be comminuted in at least one second carrying structure, a material comminuting unit in at least one third carrying structure, a second mechanical sorting unit for the comminuted material in at least one fourth carrying structure, and wherein the first, second, third, and fourth carrying structures are each arranged to be semi-mobile on a foundation and/or on a supporting structure and interconnected, wherein the supplied material is conveyed from the material supply unit through a first material-carrying line to the first mechanical sorting unit and is sorted from the first mechanical sorting unit through a second material-carrying line to the material comminution unit and is comminuted to form wood chips, and is supplied through a third material-carrying line to the second mechanical sorting unit.
