HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST WOOD PALLET GRINDER?
There’s many kinds of pallet shredders on the market, and maybe you wil overwhelming. So how to choose the best pallet shredder? Based on our more than 20 years experience, the key to choosing the best pallet shredder is to determine the characteristics of your raw materials, your production capacity requirements, and the use of the finished product (decide the size ). Matching these three factors is crucial. If you want to process waste pallets with nails, the primary consideration is that the shredder must be robust and efficient at separating nails and metal.
Step 1: Determine the Waste Pallets Size and Types.
The pallets with nails or metal? or Pure Wood? How many pallets do you need to crush per hour? Will the shredded wood be used for biomass pellets (still requiring fine crushing to get sawdust), or for animal bedding (smaller sizes is ok)?
Step 2: Determine the Best Pallet Crusher Machine Configuration and Model.
Based on the pallet size and capacity needed in Step 1, decide whether to use a small pallet shredder or a large industrial wood pallet shredder. For large-scale biomass power plants, industrial pallet crushers are recommended. They are designed with wear-resistant large hammers specifically designed for crushing big pallets and waste plate / board, ensuring that hard materials and pallets with nails will not damage them easily. In addition, this machine running very stable and maintenance very easy (only need repair the hammer perioded). It’s important to note that grinders with blades (although the appearance is nearly same) are not recommended for pallet-type materials because the nails will destory the blades very quickly, although you can change sharping and changing the baldes easily, this increasing maintenance costs.
Step 3: Choose the optimal configuration based on the following aspects:
1). Hammer durability: Choose the Hammers made of high-alloy steel with wear resistance. Ideally, the hammers should be repairable and reusable to reduce production costs.
2). Removing the Nails: The discharge conveyor must be equipped with a strong magnetic separator to avoid damage in the next process.
3). Power and capacity: The electric motor or diesel engine should be from a reputable brand supplier, as this machine requires powerful performance.
4). Size Control: Choose the machine with cast steel screens. The screen hole size needs customization based on the finished product size. However, the screen size should not be too small, as this may lead to clogging or low crushing efficiency.
5). Safety and Compliance: Emergency stop devices and protective covers are mandatory, and better with wireless control. If you are from Europe, CE certification is also required.

WHY CRUSH THE WASTE WOODEN PALLETS?
The main purpose of a wood pallet shredder is to solve the problems of large size, difficulty in transportation, and storage problems with wooden pallets. The shredded wood chips offer the following significant advantages:
Easy Transportation and Wood Recycling: Crushed wooden pallets significantly reduce volume and increase bulk density. This makes loading, unloading, storage, and long-distance transportation much easier, enabling wood recycling and resource reuse.
Direct Use as Green Energy: The crushed wood chips can be directly used as clean and renewable fuel, widely applied in residential heating, biomass power plants, cement plants, industrial boilers, and other scenarios, effectively replacing traditional fossil fuels such as coal and achieving efficient recycling and low-carbon utilization of waste wood.
As biomass pellet/briquette raw material: Small wood chips can be further crushed into wood sawdust, which can be used for the wood pellet production line and the wood briquette plant, thereby enhancing product added value and market applicability.
Used in charcoal production and carbonization: The processed wood can also be directly used in charcoal production and carbonization processes, increasing the application of high-value-added materials and realizing the recycling of waste wood.
