wooden pallet shredder

The wooden pallet shredder is a mechanical device used to break wooden pallets into small pieces of materials. The following is a brief introduction:

Structural composition

- Feeding device: usually has a larger feed port and a conveying mechanism, such as a conveyor belt or a feed screw, which can smoothly and quickly feed the wooden pallet into the equipment. Some are also equipped with a pushing device to ensure smooth feeding.

- Shredding mechanism: The core component is a knife shaft equipped with high-strength wear-resistant blades. Generally, there are 2-4 knife shafts, and the blades are staggered with each other. Through rotation, a strong shearing, tearing and squeezing effect is generated to break the wooden pallet.

- Power device: It consists of a motor and a reducer. The motor provides power. The reducer converts the high-speed and low-torque output of the motor into the low-speed and high-torque required by the knife shaft to meet the power requirements of shredding wooden pallets.

- Discharging device: Located at the bottom or side of the equipment, including a discharging conveyor belt or a discharging port, etc., the shredded wooden pallet fragments are transported to a designated location for easy collection and subsequent processing.

- Control system: It can realize the start, stop, reverse, speed regulation and other operations of the equipment. Some of them also have fault alarm and automatic protection functions to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

Working principle

After the wooden pallet is fed into the shredding chamber by the feeding device, the power device drives the knife shaft to rotate at high speed, and the blade installed on the knife shaft cuts, tears and squeezes the wooden pallet. Under the combined action of these forces, the wooden pallet is gradually broken into small pieces. As the crushing process proceeds, the small pieces of material are discharged from the discharging device under the action of gravity and rotational force.

Performance characteristics

- Efficient crushing: It can quickly crush the wooden pallet into the required size, with strong processing capacity, which can meet the crushing needs of a large number of wooden pallets and improve work efficiency.

- Strong durability: Using high-quality steel and advanced manufacturing technology, the knife shaft and blade have high hardness, high wear resistance and impact resistance, which can maintain stable performance under long-term high-load work and reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

- Easy operation: The control system is simple and intuitive, and the operator can operate proficiently after simple training. The equipment also has functions such as automatic feeding and overload protection, which reduces the difficulty of operation and labor intensity.

- Wide applicability: It can not only process wooden pallets, but also crush other wooden materials such as wooden boards, wooden blocks, branches, etc., with a wide range of applications.

Application areas

- Wood processing industry: Crushed wooden pallets can be used as raw materials for papermaking, wood chips for wood-based panel production, etc., to achieve the recycling of wood resources.

- Biomass energy industry: Wooden pallets can be crushed into particles or blocks for the production of biomass fuels, such as biomass pellet fuel, biomass coal, etc., providing a new way for energy supply.

- Horticulture: Crushed wood chips can be used for horticultural mulching, soil improvement, composting, etc., to improve soil structure, increase soil fertility, and promote plant growth.

- Waste disposal industry: Crushing discarded wooden pallets can reduce the volume, facilitate transportation and landfill, and reduce waste disposal costs.
