This is a project about building a template crusher in Spain. The customer is a regional construction waste recycling operator working closely with building contractors and demolition companies.
This is a project about building a template crusher in Spain. In recent years, Spain’s construction and demolition sector has been under growing pressure to improve waste recovery rates and material reuse. Large volumes of wooden construction templates, shuttering panels, formwork boards, and temporary wooden structures are generated every day on urban construction sites, infrastructure projects, and industrial renovations. Much of this wood waste contains nails, screws, and metal fasteners, making it difficult to process with conventional wood shredders.
This project focuses on a building template crusher in Spain, supplied as a single standalone machine rather than a complete production line. The customer is a regional construction waste recycling operator working closely with building contractors and demolition companies. Their core business is collecting, sorting, and pre-processing construction waste before selling recyclable fractions to downstream users such as biomass fuel producers, panel board factories, and landscaping material suppliers.
Before this investment, the customer relied on outsourcing the crushing of wooden templates and pallets with nails. This caused high processing costs, long waiting times, and limited control over output size. To solve this bottleneck, the client decided to introduce a heavy-duty building template crusher on site, specifically designed for rough crushing of wood waste with metal impurities.
Name:
building template shredder
Country:
Span
Date:
2025
Capacity:
Flexible
Model:
1250×450
Main motor power:
132 kW
Number of hammer heads:
24
Finished product size:
2–4 cm wood chips
The customer is not a large multinational recycling group, but a medium-sized Spanish waste handling company operating near several fast-growing urban zones. Their yard receives mixed construction wood waste daily, including:
The company already owned loaders, sorting platforms, and storage areas. What they lacked was a robust, nail-tolerant crusher capable of handling irregular wooden materials without frequent breakdowns.
Instead of purchasing a full wood recycling line, the customer deliberately chose a single building template crusher. The reason was simple: this machine performs the most critical task in their workflow—primary size reduction. Once the wood is crushed into 2–4 cm chips, it can be easily sold or further processed by partners. This investment allowed the customer to improve profitability without overextending capital or space.
In Spain, construction wood waste has very specific characteristics. Much of the material comes from temporary formwork used in concrete casting, which means:
The raw materials processed by this building template crusher in Spain mainly originate from:
This mix of sources requires a crusher that can handle impact loads, metal contamination, and variable feeding sizes—a key reason why the customer did not consider light-duty shredders.
After evaluating site capacity, daily throughput, and power availability, RICHI Machinery recommended a balanced and proven model suitable for Spanish medium-scale recycling operations.
This model building template crusher was selected because it offers strong crushing force without being oversized for local demand.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Feeding inlet size | 1250 × 450 mm |
| Main motor power | 132 kW |
| Feeding power | 11 + 7.5 kW |
| Hydraulic pump power | 2.2 kW |
| Discharge conveyor power | 1.5 kW |
| Number of hammer heads | 24 |
| Finished product size | 2–4 cm wood chips (customizable screen) |
The capacity of this building template crusher in Spain fits well with Spain’s regional recycling scale, allowing stable daily operation without unnecessary energy consumption.
In daily operation, mixed wooden waste is fed directly into the crusher by a wheel loader. The heavy-duty hammer system impacts and breaks the material, while the internal screen controls output size. Nails and small metal parts pass through without damaging the machine.
The crushed wood chips are then stockpiled for different downstream uses depending on quality. This single building template crusher machine has become the core processing unit in the customer’s yard, replacing manual cutting and outsourced crushing services.
The output from this building template crusher in Spain is not waste—it is a marketable intermediate product.
Depending on demand, the customer supplies the crushed wood chips for:
Spain has an established biomass energy sector, especially in industrial zones, which makes this application particularly relevant and economically viable.
The customer compared several options before choosing RICHI Machinery. What stood out was that this building template crusher is purpose-built for nail-containing wood waste, not adapted from light-duty equipment.
The main technical strengths include:
These features allow long-term stable operation even under harsh recycling conditions.
One important aspect of this project is that the customer purchased only one crusher, not a full line. This approach is very common in Spain, where recycling companies prefer flexible, modular investments.
The building template crusher in Spain can work independently, and its output is compatible with many downstream systems. This means the customer can later add sorting equipment, metal separation, or secondary crushing without replacing the core machine.
All equipment for this project was shipped by sea from Qingdao Port, China. For Spain, the destination port was Valencia Port, one of the country’s major hubs for industrial machinery and bulk cargo.
RICHI Machinery coordinated packing, export documentation, and shipping schedules to ensure smooth delivery and on-time arrival.
After several months of operation, the customer shared practical feedback based on real use rather than test conditions. According to their site manager, the building template crusher has proven to be “much more tolerant” than previous equipment they tried.
They highlighted that nail-containing wooden templates no longer cause stoppages, and daily throughput is more predictable. Maintenance intervals are longer, and hammer replacement is straightforward. Most importantly, the crusher has helped them turn a problematic waste stream into a stable source of revenue.
Although this project focuses on construction wood, the building template crusher in Spain is a general-purpose solution. In Spain and other European markets, similar machines are used for:
This versatility increases the long-term value of the investment.
For this project, RICHI Machinery provided more than just equipment. Our team supported the customer with:
This level of support gave the customer confidence that they were not just buying a building template crusher or pallet shredder, but entering a long-term technical partnership.
This building template crusher in Spain project shows how the right single machine can dramatically improve recycling efficiency and profitability. Whether referred to as a building template crusher, wood pallet crusher, construction wood crusher, or nail wood crushing machine, the core requirement remains the same: strength, reliability, and adaptability.
By choosing RICHI Machinery, the customer gained a rugged, professional solution that fits Spain’s construction waste reality. For companies dealing with wooden templates, pallets, and demolition wood, this type of crusher is not just equipment—it is a strategic investment.
