Innovative technology removes contaminants from recycled wood
A new generation of sensor-based sorting technology is transforming wood recycling by enabling precise separation of wood waste from contaminants like metals, glass, heavy plastics, and inert materials based on atomic density. The system processes up to 30 metric tons of wood chips per hour, delivering high-purity recycled wood that meets industrial standards. Key innovations include a redesigned ejection module that reduces air consumption by up to 25%, improves sorting accuracy, and enhances machine stability. With a 16,000-hour warranty on critical components, the unit is built for long-term reliability and minimal downtime. Advanced features like a dust-resistant design and safer maintenance access further support continuous operation. Integrated with deep-learning AI, the system can identify different wood types by shape and visual traits, producing near-virgin quality recycled materials. These improvements significantly lower operating costs and open new revenue opportunities, making high-efficiency wood recycling more accessible and profitable for industries worldwide.
