Thanks to new innovations in automated sorting technology, recycling waste wood for panelboard production is helping the wood sector transition to the circular economy.
Our high-throughput wood sorting solutions combine x-ray transmission (XRT), NIR, and deep learning technologies to purify and sort wood chips into Wood A and Wood B fractions, including single fractions of clean wood and MDF.
The process is completed in two distinct steps. In step 1, our X-TRACT machine sorts up to 30 metric tons of mixed materials to separate wood from impurities like inert materials, glass, metals, etc.
After the waste wood is pre-sorted by X-TRACT, our solutions process wood chips by material type in step 2. Using a combination of NIR sorting (AUTOSORT) and our deep learning technology (GAIN), wood chips are analyzed and sorted by non-processed and processed materials (MDF, HDF, WPC and wood composites).
Our wood sorting solutions allow your plant to process single fractions of Wood A (non-processed wood) and Wood B products such as MDF.
