Let's talk

Bird eyes view of the SLOOTWEG BPE Series Wood Fiber Machine

Innovative and versatile production of wood fiber

Our patented extruding and refining technology breaks down wood by-products into structurally resilient fiber.

With an expansion ratio of up to 1:3.5, this ensures volume is maintained when mixed with other materials.

How it works

High pressure is applied to raw materials
They are passed through a perforated matrix and rotating disks
The process creates heat above 100°C, which simultaneously produces and sanitizes the fibers, meeting RHP certification standards

Customizable fiber outputs

The fiber produced will have different qualities depending on the type of raw material, its moisture content, and the desired grade.

Fine
Coarse
Colored

Adjustable parameters

Fraction sizes
Desired finished grades

What is wood fiber made of?

The outcome of the processing of white softwood chips using the wood fiber machine

White softwood chips produce structurally resilient fibers with good water dispersion capacity

The outcome of the processing of forest residue using the wood fiber machine.

Forest residue provides a wise use of by-products, reducing waste

The outcome of the processing of compost wood using the wood fiber machine.

Oversized material from compost screening is transformed into a valuable alternative for soil use

Efficient wood fiber production equipment

Save on energy costs without sacrificing output.

The Wood Fiber Machine produces up to 12 m³/h in EN volume (16 yd³/h) with low energy.

It consumes 30% less energy per cubic meter produced than typical refiners, leading to overall cost savings.
