Precision feedstocks for biomass energy production
Optimize your biomass conversion with precision-sized feedstocks designed to enhance flowability and processing efficiency, enabling seamless integration into energy, chemical, and agricultural production lines.
Reduces Biomass Size for Enhanced Flowability and Processing
Forest Concepts’ Crumbles® Feedstocks system offers precision in biomass size reduction, uniquely designed for efficient pre-processing in biofuel, chemical, and renewable energy industries. The Crumbler® Rotary Shear cuts biomass to precise specifications, improving flowability and ensuring uniformity. Suitable for producing biofuel pellets, renewable energy briquettes, and precision animal feed, the system processes a variety of materials including Douglas fir, corn stover, and hemp. With sizes ranging from 1mm onwards, it aligns with diverse production needs. Operating in continuous manual or automated modes, it integrates seamlessly into existing lines, optimizing energy use with advanced motor control. The system can be customized for specific materials and operational conditions, with engineering support available for tailored solutions.
