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.
Key Advantages for Residual Wood Recovery
• 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.
Technical Specifications, Wood Recycling System
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Process type | Shredding, magnetic separation and calibration |
| Feedstock | Pallets, demolition wood and production scraps |
| Shredding | Robust shredder with high torque and low speed |
| Metal separation | Magnetic separator at the discharge |
| Calibration | Interchangeable screen with recirculation |
| Final product | Calibrated chips, free of metal, for biomass |
Applications and Industries
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.
Compatible Materials
| Accepted material | Notes |
|---|---|
| Pallets and wood packaging | The metal is extracted magnetically |
| Construction and demolition wood | Sorted from impurities |
| Production scraps | Offcuts, frames and chippings |
| Mixed bulky wood | Crates, reels and solid furniture |
How It Works
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
