wood pallet shredder

The wood pallet shredder is a kind of equipment specially used for crushing wood pallets, which plays an important role in the field of wood recycling. The following is a brief introduction from the aspects of structure, working principle, performance characteristics and application scope:

- Structural composition

- Feeding system: It is usually equipped with a larger feeding hopper to facilitate the smooth entry of wood pallets. Some feeding hoppers are also designed with special diversion structures to ensure that wood pallets will not be blocked during the feeding process. A conveyor belt or a screw propeller is connected under the feeding hopper to transport the wood pallets to the shredding chamber at a uniform speed.

- Shredding system: This is the core part of the wood pallet shredder, which consists of a knife shaft and a blade. The knife shaft is generally made of high-strength alloy steel. After a special heat treatment process, it has extremely high strength and wear resistance and can withstand huge torque. The blade is made of high-quality wear-resistant materials and is made through special forging and processing technology. The blade is sharp and durable. The blades are arranged in a spiral shape on the knife shaft. This arrangement allows the blades to fully contact the wood pallets when rotating, generating greater shear force and tearing force, thereby more effectively shredding the wood pallets.

- Power system: mainly composed of motor and reducer. The motor provides power for the equipment. Depending on the different equipment models and processing capabilities, the motor power is generally between 15-55kW. The reducer converts the high-speed rotation of the motor into the low-speed and high-torque rotation required by the knife shaft. Through the precise gear transmission ratio design, it ensures that the knife shaft can run at a suitable speed, thereby achieving efficient shredding of wooden pallets.

- Discharging system: located at the bottom or side of the equipment, it is usually equipped with a discharging conveyor belt, a discharging scraper or a discharging port. The shredded wooden pallet fragments are transported to the designated location through the discharging system, which is convenient for subsequent collection, transportation and reprocessing. Some discharging systems can also adjust the discharging speed and discharging direction as needed to meet different production needs.

- Working principle: After the wooden pallet enters the shredding chamber through the feeding system, the power system drives the knife shaft to rotate at high speed. The blades installed on the knife shaft move with the rotation of the knife shaft and are in full contact with the wooden pallet. The blades intersect and bite each other, generating a strong shear force on the wooden pallet, cutting the wooden boards of the wooden pallet from the joint. At the same time, due to the high-speed rotation of the knife shaft and the special shape and arrangement of the blades, the wooden pallet will also be subjected to strong tearing and squeezing forces between the blades. The combined effect of these forces causes the wooden boards of the wooden pallet to be gradually torn and broken into small pieces. As the shredding process continues, the broken wooden pallet fragments gradually fall to the discharging system under the action of gravity. The discharging system transports the shredded wooden pallet fragments to the designated location to complete the shredding process of the wooden pallet.

- Performance characteristics

- Strong processing capacity: The wooden pallet shredder has powerful power and efficient shredding device, which can quickly and effectively process a large number of wooden pallets. The knife shaft speed and the shear force, tearing force, and squeezing force of the blade are accurately calculated and matched, which can crush the wooden pallet into the required particle size in a short time, greatly improving the production efficiency and meeting the needs of the wood recycling industry for rapid processing of a large number of wooden pallets.

- Good durability: The key components of the equipment, such as the knife shaft, blade, reducer, motor, etc., are all made of high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes. The blade shaft is made of high-strength alloy steel and has undergone a special heat treatment process, which makes it extremely strong and wear-resistant. It can withstand the huge torque and impact force generated in the process of shredding wooden pallets, ensuring that the blade shaft will not be deformed or damaged under long-term, high-load operating conditions.

- Easy operation and maintenance: The design of the wooden pallet shredder fully considers the convenience of operation and maintenance. The equipment is equipped with an advanced control system, and the operation interface is simple and intuitive. The operator can easily start, stop, forward and reverse, speed control and other operations of the equipment through the buttons and display screen on the operation interface.

- Scope of application

- Wood recycling and reuse: After the wooden pallet shredder breaks the discarded wooden pallets into small pieces, these small pieces of wood can be used as raw materials for paper mills to produce various papers. It can also be recycled by artificial board factories and further processed into artificial boards such as particleboard and fiberboard, which are widely used in furniture manufacturing, building decoration and other industries. In addition, the crushed wood can also be used as biomass fuel for power generation, heating and other fields to achieve efficient recycling and reuse of wood resources.
