Pallet Crusher in Morocco

Client Profile and Raw Materials

The Moroccan client specializes in wood recycling and secondary raw material supply for industrial applications. The raw materials they intended to process included:

• Wooden shipping pallets, primarily pine and eucalyptus, with embedded nails and screws
• Discarded furniture, including oak, beech, and cedar pieces, often containing metal fasteners
• Construction timber scraps, including plywood panels and treated softwood from renovation sites

Considering the composition and volume of incoming materials, the client selected the RIBPC 1250*450 Pallet Crusher Machine, equipped with the following specifications:

• Feed opening: 1250*450 mm
• Main motor power: 132 kW
• Feeder power: 11+7.5 kW
• Hydraulic pump power: 2.2 kW
• Discharge conveyor power: 1.5 kW
• Number of hammers: 24

This configuration was carefully chosen to balance high throughput with operational reliability, producing wood chips of 2–4 cm. The internal screen size is customizable, allowing the client to adjust chip dimensions according to their downstream applications.

Machine Application and Output

The pallet crusher in Morocco serves a vital role in converting wood waste into reusable raw material. Its applications include:

1. Processing wooden pallets: Old shipping pallets, often composed of pine and eucalyptus, are shredded into consistent 2–4 cm chips suitable for particleboard and biomass fuel production.
2. Recycling furniture scraps: Oak, beech, and cedar furniture, containing nails and screws, are safely processed due to the heavy-duty hammers and reinforced casing.
3. Crushing construction timber: Plywood and timber remnants are shredded to produce uniform chips for industrial use, reducing landfill waste and creating valuable secondary raw material.

The pallet crusher in Morocco handles mixed materials containing metal parts without downtime or damage. This capability is crucial for Moroccan recycling operations, where manual removal of nails from incoming materials is labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Technical Features and Advantages

• High-strength alloy steel hammers, quenched for durability, resistant to metal in raw materials
• Detachable hammers, simplifying maintenance and replacement
• Heavy-duty reinforced body, CO2-protected welding and annealing eliminate stress from welding, ensuring long-term stability
• Sealed bearings, dust-proof and water-resistant, reducing maintenance costs and downtime
• Automatic overload protection, enhancing operational safety

This universal design makes the pallet shredder suitable for a variety of wood waste types, allowing Moroccan clients to process multiple material streams efficiently. Its robust build ensures reliable performance over extended periods, minimizing operational interruptions and maximizing production efficiency.

Transportation and Installation

The crusher was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Casablanca, Morocco’s major industrial port. From there, it was transported to the client’s facility by heavy-duty trucks. RICHI Machinery provided professional support for installation, including:

• On-site assembly and alignment
• Electrical connection and testing
• Operator training on safe feeding, screen adjustment, and maintenance

This hands-on guidance ensured that the client could achieve optimal crusher performance immediately, avoiding common startup issues and reducing the learning curve for staff.

Operational Benefits for the Client

• Enhanced productivity: Capable of processing several tons of wood waste per hour, significantly reducing manual handling and labor costs
• Consistent output: Adjustable screens produce uniform 2–4 cm chips suitable for particleboard, MDF, and biofuel
• Durability: Heavy-duty design and reversible hammers extend equipment life while handling nails and other metal inclusions
• Safety and reliability: Sealed bearings and overload protection ensure safe and continuous operation

The client reported that the equipment allowed them to efficiently process previously unusable wood waste, creating a new revenue stream by supplying high-quality wood chips to local manufacturers and energy producers.
