Pallet and Wood Shredding and Processing

Heavy-Duty Shredders & Integrated Systems for Wood and Pallet Waste

Our wood and pallet recycling systems are engineered to handle the toughest materials your operation generates, whether you’re breaking down whole pallets, crates, engineered wood products, or bulky shop scrap. While high-torque shredders remain the heart of the process, the supporting equipment matters just as much. Conveyors, dumpers, and pneumatic collection systems work together to move, reduce the size, and prepare material efficiently so you get cleaner output and more consistent throughput.

Built for Rugged Wood Waste, Pallet Dismantling, and Continuous Operation

Wood waste can be dense, oversized, and full of nails, demanding recycling equipment that’s built for impact, abrasion, and constant loading. REI pallet and wood shredders feature reinforced cutting chambers, high-torque drives, and wear-resistant components designed to withstand heavy hardwood pallets, crate lumber, engineered wood panels, and finished furniture scrap. From pallet recycling to bulk wood reduction, these machines deliver dependable throughput with minimal maintenance and long service life. If you have old plastic pallets or waste, our industrial plastic shredders are a perfect match as well.

Systems Designed for Wood and Pallet Material Reduction

The equipment below represents the core systems used when planning a scrap wood and pallet recycling solution. From material handling to primary size reduction, each component is selected to break down bulky wood waste, improve material flow, and prepare reclaimed fiber or chips for downstream processing. Together, these systems help your operation achieve higher throughput, cleaner output, and lower handling costs.

Convey wood fiber, trim scrap, and light material offcuts quickly and cleanly from your processing area to the recycling line, improving housekeeping and reducing manual handling.

Reduce and convert whole pallets, crate waste, and mixed wood debris into consistent chips or mulch for smoother conveying, easier sorting, and more efficient downstream recovery.

Automate the movement, feeding, and separation of pallets and wood scrap to keep your recycling line running steadily with less labor and fewer material bottlenecks.
