Strand Flaker

The DIEFFENBACHER Strand Flaker processes maxi-chips from low-cost wood assortments into high-quality strands for OSB production.

It features a compact footprint and high performance that’s due to an extra-wide knife ring. Its modern design features improved maintenance, adjustability and operation. Optimization of the material feed and cleaning system ensures a higher material loading volume. After passing through the large infeed hopper, the maxi-chips are fed by the heavy-duty rotor to the knives of the static knife ring and cut into uniform, flat strands. The static knife ring and the rotor, which operates according to the one-shaft principle, ensure high cutting accuracy and excellent strand quality. The main performance parameters can be monitored and recorded in real-time.

Other DIEFFENBACHER strand flaker types and customized designs are available on request.

The new Knife Ring Maintenance Center enables wear-based sharpening and precise adjustment of the flaker knife rings with minimal personnel.
