English term or phrase: Recontour chippers
No context, it's an entry in a list of equipments and industries (other names in the list are, e.g., cement, pulp & paper, breakers, pulverisers).
I know that chippers can be translated as 'trituradores', 'cortadores', among others. I also know that recontour means to reshape the contour of something, but I wonder if there's a technical term for the combination of them.

picadores de madeira


Explanation:
Pesquisei bastante e o termo mais comum é picadores de madeira. A mudança no formato é realizada na transformação de toras para lascas (ou cavacos).

https://www.sititrel.com.br/nova-central/74-sititrel/suzano/...

Os picadores de madeira são as máquinas que transformam a tora em cavacos, que são os pedaços de madeira que serão cozidos para extrair a lignina, matéria-prima da celulose.
