Overview

The Bioextruder® is a patented extrusion machine with over 25 years of proven operational history. It is designed to process various woody feedstocks by applying pressure and friction, which raises the material temperature to a level that causes steam explosion and defibration of wood. This process alters the physical structure of the wood and eliminates bacteria.

Technical Specifications and Features

• Robustness and Reliability: The machine is sturdy and capable of handling all types of woody materials.
• Input Materials: Accepts a wide range of feedstocks including virgin wood, oversized compost from composting processes, and timber from treatment platforms of lignocellulosic materials.
• Operation: Fully automatic operation requiring no operator intervention.
• Production Capacity: Capable of producing up to a specified volume per hour (exact figure not provided).
• Energy Consumption: Operates within a power consumption range of approximately 0 to a specified kW per cubic meter (exact figures not fully provided).
• Maintenance: Designed for low, easy, and fast maintenance with low associated costs.
• Output Quality: Allows selection of wood fiber size and quality according to requirements.

Process Description

The extrusion process involves applying pressure and friction to the wood material, which increases its temperature to a critical point (exact temperature not specified). This causes a steam explosion that defibrates the wood, changing its physical structure and sterilizing it by eliminating bacteria.

Summary

The Bioextruder® is a reliable, low-maintenance, and automatic machine designed for efficient processing of various woody feedstocks into high-quality wood fiber. Its patented technology ensures effective defibration and sterilization through controlled temperature and pressure during extrusion.
