WOOD PRODUCT MANUFACTURING WOOD PRODUCTS INDUSTRY  • A true reduction in waste means lower waste disposal costs. • Low capital investment, machines price range $29,000 to $115,000. • Green trees and off-cuts are fine no drying time is required. ENVIRONMENTAL S-116E (Electric) at Pallet Recycling Company Air Quality Wood waste (and/or other organic matter in a landfill) produces approximately 25 lbs. (12kg) of methane gas per ton of waste wood per year as a result of the decaying process.  The Air Curtain Burner does not produce any methane.  The combustion process in an Air Burner is very efficient using the air curtain to trap smoke particles.  The emissions from the Air Burner are addressed in a certified emissions report. Open burning averages 60% to 80% opacity (smoke plume); Air Burners average 10% opacity.  Air Burners can be used in closer proximity to existing structures. Mass Reduction High mass reduction decreasing the load on local landfills. S-Series machines have a 95 to 99 percent reduction rate so 20,000 lbs. of wood waste will reduce to between 400 and 1,000 lbs of ash. Reduced Transportation Reduced transportation, less dust and engine emissions Our machines have thru-put rates of between 2 and 15 tons per hour depending on machine size.  As an example if you ran 8 hours at 8 tons per hour you would make approximately 7 trips to the landfill.   ECONOMICS Low Capital Investment Our machines range in price from $30,000 up to $114,000. Our machines have an expected operating life of between 5 and 10 years. Low Daily Operating Costs (2.5-3.5 gal. of Diesel fuel per hour) Machine maintenance costs are less than 30¢ per hour of operation. One person is all that is required for daily operations. High Thru-Put We have machines with thru-put capacities ranging from 2 tons per hour up to 12+ tons per hour.
