Timber offcuts are
collected on site using specially designed wheelie bins. The
bins are collected regularly by utilising spare capacity within the
normal operations of partner fleet vehicles. This method of
transportation makes optimal use of what would otherwise be
'empty' runs by these vehicles, minimising transportation
costs and emissions.
At the centre of the Woodwise recycling operation is a
powerful Weima wood shredder capable of processing several
tonnes per hour. This machine is a high performance timber
shredder designed to shred large quantities of
wood whilst having a low energy consumption itself.
The timber offcuts are fed into the hopper and shredded by rotor blades. The wood chips are then extracted
through a screen which ensures the size consistency of the
wood chip particles. The chip passes by a magnet to remove
any metal fragments.

The chipped wood is then piped
under pressure through to a final hopper at the end of the
process, where premium quality wood chip fuel is dispensed
into 1 tonne bags, ready for distribution.
The end
result is the production of premium quality wood
chip fuel that is provided, free of charge, for use in
biomass boilers operated by
local schools and community projects. |
