Flakers & Refiners

Flakers & Refiners represent the technological core for transforming wood into high-quality particles, strands, and micro-chips. These systems are designed to reduce raw material into precise fractions, essential for composing the surface and core layers of panels or for manufacturing technical products like OSB and LSB. Through mechanical cutting and refining processes, these machines ensure uniform particle size, optimizing yields and guaranteeing the mechanical properties required for subsequent processing stages.

The category offers versatile solutions ranging from hammermills for calibrating pre-crushed materials to centrifugal refiners for treating dry flakes. Cutting technologies utilize centrifugal force and high-precision knife systems to generate ultra-flat flakes and calibrated strands, maintaining low energy consumption and high productivity. To ensure consistently excellent performance and cutting quality over time, the range integrates systems dedicated to the care and precision of the cutting components. Integrating Flakers & Refiners ensures a homogeneous raw material, reducing equipment wear and enhancing the final product’s machinability.
