Chip production

Professional size reduction technology for the production of chips from different types of wood is at the beginning of particleboard production. The quality of the chips determines the quality of the panel. Anything neglected at this stage of the process cannot be made up later on.
 
For this reason we offers the complete range of machines for the production of high-quality surface and core layer chips. With technology for the screening, cleaning, secondary crushing, storing, dosing, sifting, and, of course, chipping and chip transportation, the production of high-quality surface and core layer chips is guaranteed.   

Features, Function

Chip screening systems, perfectly tailored to the plant‘s capacity, divide the material flow into three fractions – fines, useable chips, and oversize chips. The separation in fractions leads to a very efficient complete process. Thus, only chips that can be turned into optimal flakes will be supplied to the knife-ring flaker. 
By means of high-performing dosing screws the chips are fed into the knife-ring flakers. The number of used flakers depends on the actual demand of flakes. This means the flakers can be loaded with the optimal amount of chips and therefore be used most efficiently.
 
Fines do not enter the knife-ring flakers. As a result knife-ring flakers are not only relieved but also protected from wear because abrasive dirt particles (e.g., silicates) in the fines are kept away from the knives of the knife-ring flakers.
Oversize chips are reduced to the correct size by means of a secondary shredder and afterwards returned to the flaking process.  
 
Extraction and transport systems, flexibly adjusted to the flakers, provide the possibility to disconnect individual machines for maintenance reasons.
