Test Center

A variety of roll screens are available to test different feed materials.

Acrowood's Research and Development Center is located adjacent to its Everett, Washington manufacturing plant. For many years, the center has allowed Acrowood to accurately predict field performance of machinery by testing and evaluating equipment using customer supplied raw materials.

Acrowood's long history and broad base of technology in chip processing means a mill can get answers to questions specific to their operation, in a way they can't get anywhere else.

Companies can estimate pay-back on equipment and will better know how their equipment will operate in the mill if they first test their materials in Acrowood's pilot plant.

The Dual Drive Rotary Screen can be configured for testing with a variety of different deck openings.

The pilot plant equipment is sized large enough to provide a more accurate prediction of field performance. Some machines are actual production models.

The Acrowood Development Center includes two different chippers, a number of models of DiamondRoll screens, a Raised Roll Disc Screen, and a suspended rotary screen. A chip slicer, chip cracker, and an air density separator are also available for evaluation.

Testing capabilities include chipping (wood, bamboo, etc.), chip thickness screening, chip fines screening, urban wood screening and processing, particleboard furnish screening, hog fuel screening, high density contaminant removal, overthick chip cracking, and overthick chip slicing, as well as other less common applications.
