Processing wood waste can bring no less profit than primary processing of wood. If you approach the matter with experience and knowledge, then you can process the croaker in almost anything. It can be a temporary fence at a construction site and even home design items that will appeal to any buyer. Now the recycling of any waste brings significant money to entrepreneurs, since the methods used in its process can save the environment and at the same time get high-quality material at a low cost of raw materials.
What is a croaker?
Slabs are planks sawn on one side, convex and preserved in their pristine condition on the other. Most often, such residues after processing the tree remains only 0.1 percent. There are two varieties of croaker:
- Wood (or small) - a material that is not particularly useful in construction work.
- Business (or large) - material characterized by a good thickness and length of the board. From it you can get different wood products.
What items can be made?
Each type of croaker is useful in crafting certain items. So, for example, a business croaker will be useful in the manufacture of:
- fences of various types;
- formwork, cladding rails;
- pallets (for example, processing slab into boards);
- wood furniture;
- design items;
- wooden decorations for the wall.
It can also be used for finishing openings and ceilings, for flooring.
The wood croaker is used to create the following items:
- firewood for heating a house;
- wood chips;
- sawdust for subsequent fertilizer;
- fuel based on sawdust.
It should be noted that the business croaker has special advantages in comparison with a board, a bar and a log. First of all, it is appreciated in construction because of its light weight and rather favorable cost. Most often it is used in the construction of residential, warehouse and utility rooms.
Material Processing Technologies
Now on the market there are a huge number of devices designed for the efficient processing of slaughter. When choosing a machine for processing, special attention should be paid to the purpose of the procedure, or rather, what material is required to be obtained at the end of processing. It is also important to determine in advance the desired quality of the final product, since depending on the selected processing mechanism, the parameters may vary. This is especially true for the smoothness, length and width of the material.
For slab processing, the machine requires a slab-rib (edging) and dividing. The first machine allows you to trim the edges, changing the slab to the state of the boards of the desired thickness (as a rule, it varies from 10.5% to 11.5% centimeters). The second helps to divide the finished board into separate parts of the initially set length.
The described machines for processing slabs have a fairly simple design, so their price starts from one hundred thousand rubles. In order to make a profitable purchase and not pay too much, it is best to take care of purchasing a specialized line for processing slabs, which includes functions from several machines at once.
Equipment functionality
An automatic system for feeding material and adjusting the speed of movement of the boards is built into the slab processing line. The latter is identified by the operator depending on the initial parameters of the material for processing. The line is equipped with two built-in saws, helping in one approach to get from two finished boards. Its price varies from 200 to 300 thousand rubles.
As many note, when using machines for processing wood waste, you can get several useful materials at once: sawdust and processed croaker. Sawdust can be used for fertilizer, as a packaging material, mulch for the earth, a fuel component, particle board and fiber board, or simply sold.
The slaughtering process is a profitable and uncomplicated method of disposal. To do this, you do not need to purchase expensive devices at all - just a simple wood waste crusher and circular saw are enough. This is the easiest way to cut large chunks of slab into small strips that are easily processed by the crusher. Most often, this method is used in the processing of wood slab, which, due to its characteristics, is not suitable for construction and decoration.
Is home recycling possible?
Not everyone wants to equip their house or garage with a line for processing wood waste in order to produce boards suitable for further use. In any case, you can purchase several machines and arrange the slaughter processing, but it is important to remember that such a small device will not be able to pass a large amount of raw materials.
At home, it will be much simpler and more efficient to produce designer furniture and home furnishings using sawmill waste or low-processed wood. But even these works will require special equipment. If we talk about home processing conditions, then just such a method can be the most profitable.
Specialists advise using coniferous croaker to create furniture for home, which has a more attractive color, does not allow moisture to pass even without processing, and is not subject to rotting processes. Also, wood needles are considered especially durable, but they are quickly and efficiently processed with the right technique.
Is recycling profitable?
Using the right techniques, handling wood waste can make pretty good money. For example, the slab processing line installed at the woodworking industry helps to significantly reduce the amount of production waste and increase the volume of boards obtained by 10 percent.
Production facilities with a wide specialization often sell slabs at low prices or give them away for free, provided that unnecessary material is independently removed from the enterprise. It should be noted that one such processing line can produce over 65 thousand cubic meters of slabs per year.
On the territory of many regions along the roads located near the garden plots, you can see trucks filled with the remains of slabs and boards. Many gardeners use such cuttings as heating material, purchasing them at a low price with whole machines. In this case, no treatment of wood waste is needed - just cut them into small boards, using a simple saw.
If we talk about products from slabs with their own hands (interior and design), then for their manufacture you will need to spend a lot of free time and effort. But at the same time, finished products can be sold at a high price, which will definitely pay off the entire process of processing and creating the finished product.
Pros of the production line
An entrepreneur who decides to put into production a line will receive the following bonuses:
- The yield of finished products when using powerful devices increases by about 10 percent. The quality of the material will be as high as possible.
- The line helps prevent waste accumulation in the form of slabs.
- The processed slab can be sent for sale, which significantly increases the income of the enterprise.
