Construction Wood Crusher in Turkey

Client Profile and Raw Materials

The client is a recycling operator based near Istanbul, supplying wood chips to pellet factories, particleboard manufacturers, and landscaping companies. The raw materials targeted for crushing include:

• Wooden pallets with nails, commonly used in warehouses and logistics centers
• Discarded furniture, including oak, beech, and pine, often mixed with metal fasteners
• Construction timber and plywood panels, frequently containing embedded nails, screws, and other metal fragments

Considering the material type and processing needs, the client selected the RIBPC 1250*500a Construction Wood Crusher, featuring:

• Feed opening: 1250*500 mm
• Main motor power: 160 kW
• Feeder power: 11+7.5 kW
• Hydraulic pump power: 2.2 kW
• Discharge conveyor power: 1.5 kW
• Number of hammers: 28

The construction wood crusher in Turkey is designed to produce wood chips with a conventional size of 2–4 cm, adjustable according to the internal screen installed. Two units were purchased to allow continuous operation: while one unit undergoes maintenance, the other remains active, ensuring uninterrupted production.

Machine Application and Output

The Construction Wood Crusher in Turkey serves multiple purposes:

1. Processing wooden pallets: Old and damaged pallets are shredded into uniform 2–4 cm wood chips, suitable for particleboard and biomass fuel production.
2. Recycling furniture waste: Oak, pine, and beech furniture, often containing nails and screws, are safely processed thanks to high-strength alloy hammers and a heavy-duty, reinforced casing.
3. Crushing construction timber: Plywood and timber scraps from renovation projects are turned into reusable wood chips, minimizing landfill disposal.

Thanks to the high-capacity design, the crusher handles wood with embedded metal parts without damaging the machine. The adjustable screen ensures consistent chip sizes, optimizing the output for downstream applications like wood pellet production, biofuel, and raw material for MDF or particleboard factories.

Technical Features and Advantages

• High-strength alloy steel hammers, quenched for durability, capable of handling nails and other metal debris without excessive wear
• Detachable hammer design, simplifying maintenance and replacement
• Heavy-duty reinforced body, CO2-protected welding and annealing to eliminate welding stress, ensuring long-term structural stability
• Sealed bearings, dust-proof and water-resistant, minimizing maintenance costs and enhancing machine lifespan
• Automatic overload protection, preventing mechanical damage and ensuring operator safety

The construction wood crusher in Turkey’s robust design allows it to handle diverse raw materials with different hardness and metal content. Its versatility makes it ideal for recycling companies, construction waste processors, and pellet producers who require consistent and reliable wood chip production.

Transportation and Installation

The two Construction Wood Crusher units were shipped by sea freight to the Port of Izmir, one of Turkey’s major industrial ports. Upon arrival, the equipment was transported by heavy-duty trucks to the client’s facility near Istanbul. Special measures were taken during transport to protect the rotors and hammers, ensuring the machines were fully operational immediately upon installation.

RICHI Machinery provided installation support and on-site operator training. The client received guidance on safe handling, optimal feeding practices, and regular maintenance schedules, helping them achieve maximum operational efficiency from day one.

Operational Benefits for the Client

• Increased productivity: Capable of processing multiple tons of wood waste per hour, significantly reducing manual labor requirements
• Consistent chip size: Adjustable screens produce uniform 2–4 cm wood chips suitable for various industrial applications
• Extended equipment lifespan: Robust design and reversible hammers reduce wear and tear, minimizing downtime
• Enhanced safety: Sealed bearings and automatic overload protection ensure safe operation even with metal-laden materials

The client reported that the pallet shredder allowed them to process previously unusable wood waste, creating a new revenue stream from high-quality chips sold to wood pellet mills and particleboard manufacturers.
