Excavator shreds waste wood in the form of wooden boards and pallets

Waste wood recycling

Utilize raw material more profitably

Waste wood is used in many industrial production processes such as the manufacture of particleboard, wood-based panels and biomass. It is produced as a waste product in the construction and furniture industries as well as in urban areas through the demolition of buildings, pallets and packaging. As waste wood often contains foreign substances such as paint and varnish residues, metal parts and other impurities, processing is made more difficult and the quality of the end products is impaired. As an experienced company in the field of complete plant engineering, DIEFFENBACHER offers you customized solutions, technologies and systems for the sorting, cleaning and processing of waste wood.
