Recycled Wood Waste: Study of Size Reduction Technologies (1997)

Summary:

Critical steps in processing wood waste for recovery are size reduction and contaminant removal, especially for high value fiber end uses such as pulp and paper, and panelboard applications. A significant portion of wood waste processed for recycling does not adequately meet the needs of the mills consuming that fiber. This study examines engineered size reduction strategies (and technologies such as high-speed chippers) that may improve market opportunities for recovered wood waste in high value fiber products.
