Descripción
An Italian company producing innovative bio-based polymer compounds is seeking manufacturers or technology providers of industrial systems for compacting fine wood flour. The aim is to safely process wood flour with granulometry between 180 and 200 µm—currently classified as a potentially explosive material—into a compacted, safer and easier-to-handle form.
Title
Italian company seeks partners specialized in compacting systems for fine wood flour (particle size between 180–200 µm)
Abstract
An Italian company has developed an innovative bio-based polymer compound, obtained through its patented process that blends recycled plastics, wood scraps, and natural additives. This sustainable material is used as an alternative to conventional plastics in various industrial sectors with high material consumption.
Wood scraps sourced from the timber and carpentry industry are processed into wood flour, which represents a key raw material for the company’s compounding process. The wood flour currently features a granulometry between 180 and 200 µm, which places it within the category of potentially explosive dusts, thus requiring additional safety and handling measures.
To optimise internal production, enhance safety, and facilitate storage, transportation, and feeding into downstream polymer compounding equipment, the company aims to compact the wood flour into a stable, manageable, and safe form—while preserving its chemical-physical properties and granulometry.
The company is therefore looking for technology providers or manufacturers of compacting machinery capable of processing fine wood flour and of delivering consistent and safe compaction results without altering the functional characteristics required for subsequent polymer blending.
The sought solution may include (but is not limited to) technologies such as briquetting, pelletizing, granulation, densification, or other compacting systems suitable for fine, dry, potentially explosive biomass powders.
Advantages and innovation
The company offers:
- A long-term collaboration opportunity with a fast-growing Italian manufacturer in the circular economy sector.
- A clearly defined industrial need with strong potential for future equipment expansion.
- A stable supply of homogeneous raw materials and mature production processes.
- Potential joint development of customized compacting solutions tailored to bio-based polymer production.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
The partner should be able to supply compacting systems meeting the following requirements:
- Suitable for fine wood flour with particle size between 180 and 200 µm
- Ability to compact the material without altering its granulometry or properties essential for later polymer compounding.
