FMW Wood Chip Screen – 3-Deck Screening System
Maximizing the Yield and Efficiency of Your Wood Chip Handling Process
A reliable wood chip screen is essential for consistent chip quality in any modern pulp, paper, or biomass facility. The FMW Wood Chip Screen efficiently separates accepts, oversized chips, and fines from the material flow – ensuring only uniform, high-quality material reaches your downstream process.
The growth of the pulp and paper market is driven by rising demand for sustainable paper products and advancements in manufacturing technology.
With these trends, mill management professionals must optimize their processes to remain competitive.
The FMW Wood Chip Screen reduces blockages and requires only occasional cleaning.
Unique benefits of FMW Chip Screen:
- High-quality screening at maximum yield, ensuring only acceptable material is retained
- Space-saving design, easily fitting into various plant layouts
- Three inclined screening decks (optionally in stainless steel available) for optimal separation efficiency
- Bolted construction for enhanced structural integrity
Available Options
The FMW Wood Chip Screen can be configured to your site requirements:
- Collecting bottom for efficient handling and separation of fines
- Roof cover for reliable protection against weather influences and dust emission
- Screen plates available in stainless steel for increased wear resistance
How it works:
The Chip Screen efficiently removes impurities such as oversized chips and fines from the material flow. Its three screen decks, each with different perforations, separate the material into distinct fractions. The oversized material remains on the top screen deck and is transported to the Re-Chipper, where it is cut to the desired length and blown back to the screen for re-screening. The two remaining screen decks separate the accepted material, while the bottom deck separates the fines.
Why Choose the FMW Chip Screen
By opting for the FMW Chip Screen, you’ll benefit from a custom-made solution that delivers:
- Enhanced production efficiency and quality
- Reduction in operating costs, raw material usage, and energy consumption
- Increased yield and productivity
- Low maintance and cleaning
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does a wood chip screen do?
A wood chip screen separates wood chips into distinct fractions – accepted material, oversized chips, and fines – to ensure consistent chip quality for downstream processing.
Inconsistent chip size and impurities can reduce production efficiency and product quality. The FMW Wood Chip Screen addresses this by directing oversized material to the Re-Chipper for reprocessing, while fines are separated and collected separately.
How many screen decks does the FMW Wood Chip Screen have?
The FMW Wood Chip Screen uses three inclined screening decks, each with different perforations, to separate accepts, overs, and fines in a single pass.
This three-deck design increases separation efficiency compared to single-deck screening systems, while keeping the footprint compact.
What is the capacity of the FMW Wood Chip Screen?
The FMW Wood Chip Screen is available in three standard sizes, with a design capacity from 400 m³/h up to 1,000 m³/h.
The correct size is selected based on your required throughput and existing plant layout.
How much maintenance does the system require?
The FMW Wood Chip Screen is designed for low maintenance, with easily exchangeable screen decks and accessible components for cleaning.
Its bolted, welding-free construction and self-suspending design reduce wear and simplify long-term upkeep.
