If the goal is turning wood waste into energy, a wood recycling system oriented toward energy recovery delivers calibrated chips, free of metal, with constant size. The system links robust shredding, magnetic separation and screen calibration into a continuous flow, with dust extraction.
The system starts from the specification of the final fuel, so the stages are chosen for the size and purity required by the end user. See the full range of recycling equipment.
• Fuel to specification, chips calibrated to the power plant's requirements.
• Diverse residual wood, pallets, demolition wood and production scraps.
• Rigorous magnetic separation, nails and hardware are extracted continuously.
• Screen calibration, the fraction is adjusted to the combustion installation.
• Integrated dust extraction, the fine dust is captured in a controlled way.
• Extensible toward pellets, an additional mill produces sawdust.

The system serves biomass producers, thermal power plants, cogeneration operators and recyclers who deliver fuel. The calibrated, metal-free chips allow constant deliveries to the end user's specification.
The energy recovery of recycled wood is supported by Directive (EU) 2018/2001. For integration into a complete flow, see also the full industry solutions.

1. The residual wood is fed into the shredder.
2. The shredder reduces the material to chips.
3. The magnetic separator extracts the nails and hardware.
4. The screen calibrates the fraction and recirculates the large material.
5. Dust extraction captures the dust.
6. The finished fuel is discharged for delivery.
What does the system produce?
Calibrated chips, free of metal, for thermal power plants and cogeneration.
Why does magnetic separation matter?
Metal can damage the conveying and combustion installations.
Can I extend the system toward pellets?
Yes. An additional mill produces sawdust for pellets and briquettes.

„We do stainless-steel metal fabrication dedicated to restaurant kitchens. The UZINEX equipment was a radical change: modernization, an increase in production and quality.”
„I had no idea, I was completely clueless. And you started to explain to me. You told me what technologies to choose, what packaging to produce, what would work better on the market.”
„We use a single person who can operate 3-4 machines. Before, we needed 3-4 people to do the same thing.”
„We have multiple challenges in making special structures that serve our systems, and the laser welding machine solution helped us enormously.”
„Laser welding on stainless is something else, it's a completely different thing. The quality of the machines is undeniable: the samples say it all.”
„With Uzinex, I felt very well protected by the assistance they provided. When you have a whole shift stalled and you need someone to answer quickly, it matters enormously.”
„The proof that everything went well is that the equipment now works. We have over three years of experience with no problems. Or when there were issues, there was support. We're satisfied with the collaboration.”
„I can do even 5 boxes for one person, I can also do 10 boxes. Which other firms can't do. That is, they'd have to change dies, set up a whole 12-hour affair.”
„Whether I called at 2 in the morning or at 9 in the morning, the problems got solved. We're satisfied and we'll work together again.”
„A good, smooth collaboration. We always had support and help.”
„We're among the top producers in Romania for this product. I wouldn't have imagined that when I started, but things fell into place.”
„On price and quality ratio, they were the best price and the best quality on the market. We got along well and we're satisfied.”
Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.
See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.
Solve your labor shortage without tripling your costs. The cobot works safely alongside your people (palletizing, feeding the CNC, welding) while you recover the investment in 12-18 months. Prices 30-40% below European distributors, with installation and programming included from us.
Stop waiting for things to break. Our algorithms analyze sensor data and tell you exactly which part will fail and when, and we bring it to your production line before the breakdown. Zero unplanned downtime, zero contractual penalties, complete operational peace of mind.
Eliminate defects before they reach the customer. Our cameras inspect every part at speeds no operator can match, detecting sub-millimeter defects. They mount onto your existing line, with no modifications. Ideal if you produce for export and have strict quality clauses.
Connect your machines to your office, regardless of brand or age. Our gateway automatically translates the data from any machine into your ERP's format: no manual entry, no paper forms, no human error. The manager sees production live, the operator receives digital instructions.
Have a process that no off-the-shelf software can solve? We build custom industrial applications: from tailored SCADA panels and HMI interfaces, to production planning systems, lot traceability and automated reporting. The code is yours, it runs on your servers, with no monthly subscriptions or vendor lock-in.
