Processing and recycling of wood
Why are magnetic separators and metal detectors used in wood processing and recycling?
The application of magnetic separators and metal detectors is essential for the modern wood processing industry. It ensures safety, efficiency and high-quality production, which is crucial for business success and market competitiveness.
Equipment protection
Metal particles such as screws, nails, broken metal parts of machines or conveyors can cause damage to production equipment (e. g. pellet presses), during wood processing. Magnetic separators and metal detectors can remove these metal contaminants, what minimizes the risk of damage to the processing machines, extends their life expectancy and reduces maintenance and repair costs.
The quality of the final product
The removal of metal particles increases the quality of the final wooden product. The magnetic separator ensures that the wood chips or wood pellets are free of metal contamination, thus improving their quality.
Increased efficiency of the production process
Effective removal of metal contaminants increases the production efficiency and reduces downtimes caused by machine damage or product contamination.
