Last month, our Pallet Foot Block Extruder Machine was supplied to a customer in Spain for producing compressed wood pallet blocks. The customer wanted to turn locally available sawdust and wood processing waste into durable pallet feet, reducing raw material waste while developing a more cost-effective pallet production process.
Our machine provides an efficient solution by compressing sawdust and other biomass materials under high temperature and pressure, producing uniform, high-density wooden blocks for pallet manufacturing.
Why Did the Spanish Customer Choose a Pallet Foot Block Extruder Machine?
Spain has a developed wood processing and logistics packaging industry, creating demand for reliable pallet components. The customer was looking for equipment that could convert wood waste into valuable products while maintaining consistent block quality.
After learning about the customer’s production requirements, we recommended our Pallet Foot Block Extruder Machine for its advantages:
- Waste recycling: Processes sawdust, wood shavings, and wood chips into pallet blocks.
- High-density molding: Uses heating and extrusion technology to produce solid, durable blocks.
- Flexible block sizes: Supports different mold specifications to meet pallet manufacturing requirements.
- Cost-effective production: Reuses wood waste and reduces dependence on solid timber.
- Export-friendly products: Compressed pallet blocks do not require fumigation.
How Does the Pallet Foot Block Extruder Machine Work?
The machine uses a heating and extrusion system to transform loose wood materials into compact pallet blocks.
First, sawdust or wood shavings are mixed with approximately 16% urea-formaldehyde resin glue. The prepared mixture is then fed into the machine, where the screw and hydraulic systems push it through the heated extrusion section.
Under high temperature and pressure, the material is compressed and bonded into dense wooden blocks. Finally, a cutting device cuts the continuously extruded material into the required lengths.
This process helps produce uniform pallet feet with consistent dimensions and good structural strength.
Applications of Finished Pallet Foot Blocks
The finished compressed wood blocks can be used as support feet and spacers in wooden pallets. Compared with traditional solid wood blocks, they offer consistent dimensions, efficient material utilization, and a fumigation-free solution for export packaging.
By installing this Pallet Foot Block Extruder Machine, the customer can transform low-value wood residues into useful pallet components and create additional value from existing raw materials.
