Versatile bespoke plant separates mixed wood into A-B grade wood and C grade wood

The recycling wood market is changing drastically, making it ever more difficult to find a good and profitable outlet. Reason why our customer was looking for a completely new out-of-the-box wood processing plant.

Purpose is to separate the mixed waste wood into A-B grade wood and C grade wood in order to create added value. Furthermore, fines should be avoided as much as possible. The much appreciated clean A-B grade wood finds its outlet into the panel board industry and C grade wood is used in energy applications.

One shredder, many shredding options / shredding sizes
Rentec designed and built an extremely versatile, tailor made process plant to enhance the quality of the A–B grade wood.

Main component of this plant is the Rentec DINOSAURUS 2600 S slow speed shredder, with its special double-function shafts. This shredder is unique in its ability to shred coarse and fine with the same shredder configuration. A simple push on the button changes the average output size from <500 mm to <150 mm.

Waste wood is fed into the Rentec DINOSAURUS 2600 S shredder which performs a first, coarse shredding, creating a minimum of fines.

After the removal of this fines, the pre-crushed wood is cleaned from ferro and non-ferro metals, from inert fractions and light fractions and separated into a A-B grade wood fraction and a C grade wood fraction.

The separated wood fractions are then re-shredded with the same Rentec DINOSAURUS 2600 S shredder, this time set into fine-mode-operation, to obtain particle sizes that meet the specs of the various outlets. (panel board industry and energy).
