Wood Shavings Production Process

Wood shavings are the waste obtained when the wood is shaped or planed using carpentry tools and machines like planers, mills. They do not have fixed size but generally curl up into thin layers which peel off surfaces of boards during processing in such devices called “planing” (or even more specifically-a machine equipped with various blades). Wood chips become flat and pile together well to form huge heaps

The production is fully automated, from feeding, cleaning and pressing the wood shavings, to packaging them ready for transport. This guarantees the provision of high-quality, particularly hygienic bedding material in large quantities at all times. The company, originally established in Spain, can look back on a long tradition in the timber processing field. Its wood shavings have been successfully used in the European market for many years. Their excellent product characteristics are highly appreciated both in horse management as well as in livestock and poultry farming.

Wood shavings are a great way to keep your plants healthy and moist, but they also serve many more functions! From animal husbandry, all the way up through processing food or building materials, these little pieces of wood shavings can be found doing some pretty amazing things.

Wood Shavings’ utility as an environmental protection agent is clear when you consider how much energy goes into removing them from landfills so that they don’t end up breaking down over time – this would release harmful methane gas instead (a potent greenhouse gas). And thanks to its use as mulch in garden plots where it helps conserve moisture while preventing weeds at plant root zone levels.
