Renewable organic materials, such as wood, agricultural crops or wastes, and municipal wastes, especially when used as a source of fuel or energy

We manufacture a comprehensive range of equipment for this industry including:

We recognise the need for product quality and purity. We focus our experience and knowledge of this application to provide separation equipment which leads the industry.

The Biomass industry processes a wide variety of waste streams such as:

  • Wood
  • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
  • Hazardous Waste

Separation processes will vary depending on materials / size and can include:

  • Metering of product to separation line at a consistent rate
  • Size reduction – shredding
  • Fines removal
  • Separation of ferrous metal – usually with an overband or drum magnet
  • Separation of remaining ferrous – usually with magnetic head pulley or drum magnet
  • Separation of non-ferrous metals – usually with an eddy current separator
