5-6T/H Biomass Wood Shredder in Denmark

The client purchased two single-unit shredders, which provided redundancy in operations: one unit could undergo maintenance or adjustment while the other continued to process wood, ensuring continuous production. This setup reflects a strategic investment rather than a replacement, emphasizing operational expansion and future scalability.

Customer Profile and Motivation

The Danish client operates in the biomass energy and wood recycling sector, serving multiple industries:

• Industrial logistics centers in Copenhagen and Aarhus: Discarded wooden pallets, skids, and crates.
• Brewery and beverage industry: Wooden casks, packaging pallets, and brewery templates that are retired after a few years of service.
• Construction and renovation projects: Wooden formwork, scaffolding templates, and old furniture from demolition sites.

The client’s main reasons for purchasing the biomass wood shredder in Denmark included:

1. Enhanced Efficiency: Previous manual and small-scale processing methods could not handle mixed wood with nails effectively.
2. Uniform Output: Required 2–4 cm wood chips to meet specifications for biomass fuel and particleboard production.
3. Reliability: Machines capable of crushing nail-containing wood without damage.
4. Capacity Growth: Two machines ensure continuous processing and allow for future production line expansion.

This acquisition demonstrates the client’s focus on scaling operations sustainably, with the flexibility to integrate additional equipment as production volumes increase.

Raw Material and Feedstock

The Danish client primarily processes the following raw materials:

• Wooden pallets: Sourced from beverage distribution centers, logistics hubs, and retail warehouses.
• Construction templates and boards: From renovation and demolition projects in Copenhagen and Jutland regions.
• Brewery wood waste: Including retired casks and packaging pallets, which have nails and mixed wood types.
• Old furniture: Residential and commercial sources contributing mixed pine, beech, and laminated wood boards.

This combination of materials presents a challenge because of embedded nails, screws, and metal brackets, which necessitate a shredder that can handle mixed materials without causing operational issues.

After evaluating feedstock characteristics and production requirements, the client selected the RIBPC 1250*500b model, which combines high capacity, durability, and adaptability for Danish wood waste.

Equipment Specifications and Configuration

RIBPC 1250*500b Key Specifications:

Conventional Finished Product Size: 2–4 cm wood chips

Each pallet shredder produces approximately 5–6 tons per hour, allowing a combined throughput of 10–12 tons per hour with two units in operation. This capacity aligns with the client’s target biomass fuel production and particleboard supply requirements.

Applications and Market Potential

The shredded wood chips produced by the biomass wood shredder have multiple end uses:

• Biomass Fuel Production: Chips feed industrial boilers and CHP plants in Denmark, providing renewable energy solutions.
• Particleboard and Wood Composite Products: Consistent 2–4 cm wood chips are ideal for manufacturing particleboard and laminated wood panels.
• Mulch and Landscaping Products: Municipalities and landscaping companies use wood chips for sustainable garden mulch.
• Composting: Wood chips are mixed with organic waste to create aerated, high-quality compost.

Denmark’s focus on sustainability, coupled with strict regulations for renewable energy, makes this investment both environmentally responsible and commercially advantageous.

Logistics and Transportation

The two RICHI RIBPC 1250*500b machines were shipped via Qingdao Port, China, to the Port of Aarhus, Denmark’s primary import hub for heavy industrial equipment. RICHI ensured a smooth delivery process, including:

1. Customs and documentation support to minimize import delays.
2. On-site delivery coordination using specialized transport and cranes for safe unloading.
3. Installation assistance with engineers supervising assembly, alignment, and operational training.

The client reported that both machines were operational within days of arrival, allowing immediate integration into the production workflow.

Technical Advantages and Features

RICHI biomass wood shredder machines offer key technical advantages:

• High-Strength Alloy Steel Hammers: Hardened to crush wood with nails, screws, and metal fasteners.
• Detachable Hammers: Simplifies maintenance and replacement, reducing downtime.
• Heavy-Duty Welded Housing: CO2-protected welding with annealed shell reduces stress and prevents deformation over long-term operation.
• Sealed Bearings: Dust and water-resistant design for low-maintenance operation.
• Automatic Overload Protection: Protects the motor from overloading and extends machine lifespan.

These features allow the client to process diverse wood types safely and efficiently, producing high-quality, uniform wood chips.

Customer Feedback

After six months of operation, the client shared their experience:

"The RICHI biomass wood shredders have completely transformed our operations. We can handle pallets, construction boards, and brewery templates with nails safely and efficiently. The output is exactly the size we need for biomass fuel production, and maintenance is straightforward thanks to the detachable hammer system. The RICHI team was highly professional, assisting with installation, training, and troubleshooting. We couldn’t be happier with these machines."

This feedback underscores RICHI’s reliability and professional customer support.
