Perfection as standard

A high-tech product

In the EUROBLOCK plants this high-tech product is made on state-of-the-art production systems. Industrial production at the latest state of technology and a comprehensive monitoring system guarantee permanently high quality standards.

The production process

In the production process, the residual and recycled wood is processed to yield the correct chip geometry. After that, technical drying guarantees a wood humidity of less than 5 %. Then, glue is applied to coarse and fine chips, they are mixed and pressed to a sturdy continuous strand. Finally, the blocks are cut out of the strand at the required height, depending on requirements and demand.

Raw material & sustainability

Production in detail

Pallet blocks made from sawmill residue
Pallet blocks made from recycled wood

Sawmill & hammer mill

Round timber is cut and the woodchips are subsequently brought to an exact size in the hammer mill

Chipping

The delivered recycled wood is pre-sorted and comminuted to the desired chip size

Drying

Technical drying to the desired final moisture content of less than 5 %

Foreign material removal

All foreign objects and non-wood components are removed through state-of-the-art industrial scanners and magnet technology

Glue addition

Rough and fine chips are mixed and glue as well as hardener are added

Drying

Technical drying to the desired final moisture content of less than 5 %

Pressing

Material is pressed into an endless strand

Glue addition

Rough and fine chips are mixed and glue as well as hardener are added

Saw

Material is cut to desired block size, every single block subsequently checked for shape and density

Pressing

Material is pressed into moulds by using a moulding cycle, after which the size and density of every single block is checked

Palletisation

Cooling, stacking and packaging of blocks in protective film

Palletisation
