Clean Grinding, Clean Pellets, Clean Oil Fields
At Forest Products Distributors, the setup starts where the fence posts end. After doweling machines shape posts for Forest Products’ fencing line, they leave behind a steady stream of clean, dry wood waste. This is where the WSM 2432 Horizontal Grinder enters the picture. With consistent infeed from the vibrating conveyor, this efficient electric-powered grinder processes the leftovers with minimum dust, zero on-site emissions, and none of the diesel roar, exhaust, or grime you’d expect from a traditional grinder.
That’s a big deal indoors where air quality matters. By avoiding airborne debris and dust, the grinder helps maintain a safer workspace in the heart of a busy shop floor. Nothing flashy, no diesel fumes, and no clouds of airborne dust. Just efficient indoor grinding that helps power a cleaner downstream process, both in the plant and far beyond.
It’s a clean-cut solution in more ways than one. That ground wood waste material moves straight into the Forest Products’ pellet mill, where it’s compressed into dense, high-quality wood pellets. These aren’t your typical wood pellets for heating. They’re used in oil & gas applications as an absorbent for spill cleanup. When a spill hits the ground in the oil field, these pellets soak up the mess like a super sponge. The pellets are biodegradable, easy to handle, and a far cleaner alternative to clay or synthetic absorbents.
That’s a full-circle story of resource recovery. From dowels to grinder to pellets to spill control. And the WSM 2432 Horizontal Grinder is the quiet, efficient, and reliable powerhouse that keeps the whole operating moving.
