High-Performance Wood Flour Screening with the Super Sivtek

Wood flour is a fine, powder-like material made by grinding clean, dry wood waste into particles often smaller than 500 µm. It is an essential ingredient in many industries—from wood–plastic composites and rubber goods to specialty adhesives and even food-grade carriers. To meet these varied demands, manufacturers must deliver a consistent particle size and a contaminant-free product. That is where advanced screening technology becomes critical.

Why Screening Matters in Wood Flour Production

After wood chips are milled into flour, the particles must be carefully classified. Uniform particle size ensures:

• Stable composite strength in decking boards and automotive panels.
• Smooth bonding in phenolic and urea-formaldehyde resins.
• Viscosity control in rubber and coatings.
• Compliance in food-grade applications.

If the screening step is weak, oversized fragments remain. These coarse particles can clog downstream equipment, create texture problems in composites or adhesives, and even increase fire risk as operators rework material. Inconsistent sizing also causes uneven drying, which lowers product quality and drives up energy costs.

Introducing the Super Sivtek Advantage

Galaxy Sivtek’s Super Sivtek separator was engineered to eliminate these problems. The unit provides three times the intensity of vibration than a conventional sifter, producing an exceptionally powerful, multi-directional motion that will continually keep material in active contact with the mesh. The high-energy action eliminates screen blinding and increases throughput without compromising accuracy.

Key performance gains:

• Finer cuts up to 500 mesh: The machine makes easier finer separations that are demanded by the high-grade wood flour users.
• Consistent throughput: The strong vibration supports a steady flow even with light particles, which normally to the bridge or clog.
• Reduced downtime: High energy keeps the mesh clear, minimizing stoppages for cleaning or screen replacement.

How It Fits the Wood Flour Process

In a wood flour plant, dried wood chips are first fed through hammer mills and fine grinders and finally through the sifter. Installing the Super Sivtek at this final stage ensures that only perfectly sized particles move forward. Oversized pieces are automatically removed and recycled for regrinding. With less rework and fewer maintenance interruptions, overall production efficiency rises while operating costs fall.

Benefits Across Industries

The impact of consistent, finely screened wood flour is felt throughout the different end uses:

• Plastics and composites: Improved dispersion results in stronger boards and lighter automotive panels.
• Adhesives and resins: Smooth, lump-free mixes improve bonding strength.
• Rubber and coatings: Viscosity is controlled to improve finish and durability.
• Food and agriculture: Strict control of particle size enables compliance with safety and textural components.

Reliable Quality, Every Batch

By utilizing a robust mechanical design and high-energy vibration, the Super Sivtek provides manufacturers the confidence that each batch of wood flour will meet tight specifications. The result is fewer quality complaints, lower maintenance costs, and a stronger reputation in demanding markets.

For processors requiring reliable fine screening as low as 500 mesh the Super Sivtek provides performance-proven output and an easy route to increased productivity.
