The activity of woodworking enterprises is associated with the generation of a large amount of waste. In the process of technological processing of wood, starting from logging operations and ending with the production of the final product, stumps, branches, bark, clippings, shavings, sawdust, etc. remain.
Processing of waste from the woodworking industry it is often complicated by the fact that sawdust, small chips, shavings and bark are inconvenient to transport, store and store, and the high level of humidity makes their further use impossible without preliminary processing.
Briquetting of woodworking waste
Waste disposal of woodworking enterprises includes the production of fuel briquettes, which can be used for burning in heating furnaces and fireplaces of private houses, as well as in boiler houses and thermal power plants. Such briquettes have a calorific value of about 4000–5000 kcal/kg.
Processing of waste from the woodworking industry allows not only to obtain cheap fuel, but also to solve the problem of environmental pollution. Briquettes from woodworking waste contain a minimum of sulfur, so they practically do not emit SO during combustion2 and SO3, as well as SO. The ash formed during the burning of briquettes can be used as an effective mineral fertilizer.
Processing of waste from the woodworking industry allows you to get the most inexpensive and efficient fuel, as well as improve the ecological situation in our country.
Production technology of fuel briquettes
The process of manufacturing fuel briquettes consists of the following technological operations:
- transportation of raw materials;
- sorting;
- crushing;
- drying;
- pressing of briquettes with or without heat treatment;
- cooling under pressure;
- packaging and transportation to the place of consumption.
The technological line for the production of fuel briquettes from wood waste usually consists of the following equipment: a press for briquetting, a dryer (for drying waste with a moisture content of more than 15%), a sorting machine, a chopping machine, hoppers and transport devices.
Waste disposal of woodworking enterprises not only solves the problem of providing the population with inexpensive energy carriers, but also contributes to reducing the amount of air polluting substances, reducing the negative impact of energy on the environment, improving the sanitary condition of forest areas and industrial sites of woodworking enterprises.
The BIOsmartex company, which is engaged in the production of waste processing equipment, offers profitable solutions that allow you to make production zero-waste. Competent waste disposal of woodworking enterprises will help you not only become a leader in your industry, but also contribute to the improvement of the ecological situation in Ukraine.
