Concept to recycle wood & forest waste
Processing wood waste and getting more energy from the forest
Our sorting concept to recycle wood and process wood waste and other materials produces a cleaner fuel with less content of stone, glass, concrete, etc. A cleaner fuel creates significantly less ash, which helps boiler owners to reduce their ash management costs. Since stone and glass do not burn, it is unnecessary to put them in the boiler. The material owner gets increased revenues through higher revenues on all end products.
Both the environment and society benefit from using our sorting concept as it leads to reduced transportation of ash and stone and reduced mining (as metals are recovered before incineration). Working to recycle forest waste and metal saves a lot of energy today.
Aluminum is a good example of benefits as it saves 95% of the energy otherwise needed to create new aluminum. Steel recycling saves 75% of the energy.
Materials in wood waste
Easier to get started
Norditek will test your material and adapt the facility so that you can start production immediately. You choose whether you want to rent, lease or buy the machines and we make sure everything works. From one material to another.
How to recycle more metal
Our metal recycling technology creates major economic and environmental benefits
windshifter creates new opportunities
Our windshifter is designed to separate lighter materials from heavier ones. This creates new opportunities for recycling.
Getting more energy from forests
We improve the quality of your sorting and biofuel production.
Ashes can be worth their weight in gold

Material testing
Before we talk about machines, let’s test your material. Send us a sample, or we can conduct a test run right in the field. By combining material analysis with practical knowledge of material separation, we’ll move your project forward faster than you think. With a representative material sample, analyzing just one kilogram of your material is usually sufficient. We perform sieve analysis and any necessary supplementary chemical analyses. Of course, we’ll help you interpret the analysis results and translate them into practical solutions.
Proposed solution
We develop layouts, flow models, and capacity calculations to show how a facility can be designed based on your materials and volumes. A concrete model provides you with the information you need to make informed decisions and gives you peace of mind when investing or launching operations.
Test drive
Investment decisions
Once we agree on the best solution for your material, we can start production right away. You rent, lease or buy depending on what's best for your project. And if we can help you with the production data, we're happy to do so, making all decisions much easier.

Facts and figures
Bark and biomass
Biomass is a type of renewable energy source consisting of natural and organic material such as waste from forestry and agriculture. Biomass is used to produce biofuels, among other things.
