Wood K plus – optimiertes rezyklieren von Holzprodukten durch speziellen Aufschluss

Im Projekt ‚holz-autark‘ werden Grundlagen beforscht die es ermöglichen, Altholz mechanisch aufzuschließen, ohne dessen Eigenschaften wesentlich zu verschlechtern. Auswirkungen verschiedener mechanischer Zerteilungstechniken (Verfahrens- und Werkzeugparameter) auf die Partikelqualität werden untersucht, um den idealen Altholzspan zu identifizieren.
