Conveyor for wooden pallet shredder

Context

Shredded wood chips come from an SPE 1300 shredder, where pallets are inserted to produce logs and heating pellets.

Challenge

The customer wanted to transport chipped wood chips as well as nails and staples from the pallets. The main challenge was to separate the wood chips from the metal materials.

Solution

AA Biomasse designed a watertight polyurethane belt conveyor to meet this need. Positioned under the SPE 1300 shredder, this conveyor receives the shredded wood chips. It is equipped with a magnetic drum to extract nails and staples. A separator chute then separates the shredded wood chips from the metal materials.

Operation

The SPE 1300 shredder crushes the pallets, and the shavings are discharged onto the polyurethane conveyor belt. The magnetic drum lifts up the nails and staples, which are then separated from the shavings by a chute. Two skips under the chute collect the separated materials: one for the crushed wood chips and the other for the nails and staples. The shredded chips are then processed and reused.
