Preparing natural fibres

Efficient solutions for wood grinding with hammer mills

Tietjen und wood industry

Our hammer mills crush wood and fibres what you want and how you want it.

Pellets

Whether it’s forest or industrial residual wood, whether it’s dry or wet wood, whether it’s large or small quantities, whether it’ s frequently or seldom varying input material: Tietjen hammer mills make wood recycling more efficient.

Our wood hammer mills or grinders can be used in many areas:

  • in the field of energy production (wood shavings, wood pellets)
  • in the construction industry (insulation materials)
  • in animal husbandry (bedding material)
  • in logistics (packaging accessories and cardboard packaging)
  • in food production (stabilisers, filling and release agents).

 

We understand the requirements and objectives of the wood industry and always have the right wood hammer mill for every wooden input material. We are able to meet every requirement thanks to our four own series and more than 40 model variants. Benefit from our experience in wood crushing, shredding and grinding.

The use of biomass or waste wood as a substitute fuel in coal-fired power plants is gaining enormous importance in the energy transition. You can find out more in our article Waste wood as a substitute fuel and alternative to coal.

Wet and dry

Hammer mills for wood and fibers

Raw materials are cut, torn or crushed to obtain fibres, depending on their use. Product qualities differ according to wood particle size or fibre length. It is often the case that lignin-protected components can only be made accessible for material or energetic utilisation if they have been appropriately crushed.  Tietjen supplies wood hammer mills and complete systems for the processing of husks, stalks, straw or grown wood, whether they are dry or “freshly cut” wet wood with a high water content.

The wide chamber mill W is used in the grinding of fibers and wood with a residual moisture of 60%.

For the size reduction of dry wood chips, the high-speed mill of the VDK series can be used.

If it may be a little more, the Tietjen large chamber hammer mills GD and GDL are the right choice.
