Key Points

High levels of dust

The processing of waste wood generates a lot of dust. An installed water spray system captures the dust immediately and ensures clean processes.

Return to the shredder

Oversized pieces of wood are automatically returned to the grinder, where they are further ground and fed back into the screening process.

High material throughput

The unique screen rollers enable consistently high performance and ensures efficient processing of large quantities of waste wood.

Coarse components

Oversized pieces of wood are reliably sorted into a separate fraction to ensure that subsequent processes run smoothly.

Metal components

Nails and screws in reclaimed wood are removed using magnetic technology to ensure the quality of the final product.

Overcoming challenges with the Lepton 5100

Efficiently processing waste wood

This category includes wood that has already been used and is now intended for recycling or reuse. Such materials can be reprocessed and, for example, turned into particleboard, used as wood pellets, or utilized for other energy-generation purposes. Examples include construction and demolition wood. The use of reclaimed wood makes an important contribution to the sustainable management of valuable resources. However, there are several challenges to overcome when sorting these materials. High material throughput requires powerful and efficient technologies to reliably process waste wood in large quantities. Particularly problematic are the heavy dust generation and the high proportion of magnetic components such as nails and screws that arise during the processing of construction and demolition wood, which can impact both plant operations and the environment. With the Lepton 5100, Alzinger Recyclingtechnik offers a modern solution that effectively addresses these challenges. By using a water spray system in screening deck 1, dust is captured directly as it is generated. The magnetic separator on fine-grain conveyor 3 removes the magnetic components from the fine material. The screening decks with screening rollers enable a higher throughput compared to conventional drum screens.
