CHARACTERISTICS

Applications and benefits of RevoStrand® Centrifugal Strander Mill

RevoStrand® Centrifugal Strander Mill is engineered for manufacturers producing OSB, SLPB, and other engineered wood products requiring ultra-thin, dimensionally consistent strands. Its patented centrifugal cutting technology maximizes raw material utilization while delivering exceptional strand quality and low specific energy consumption.

RevoStrand® has been developed specifically for modern OSB and SLPB production, where strand consistency directly influences board strength, resin distribution, and final panel quality.

Unlike conventional stranders, RevoStrand® can process input material up to 300 mm long and 100 mm in diameter, allowing manufacturers to maximize raw material utilization while maintaining consistent strand quality.
Compared with conventional Knife Ring Flakers and Disc Stranders systems, RevoStrand® offers greater flexibility in processing a wider variety of raw materials while maintaining exceptional strand quality, including:

Sawmill slabs
Veneer core
Cut edges
Small logs
Branches and twigs
Recycled wood
Sawmill beams

The result is higher raw material recovery, lower production costs, improved strand consistency, and greater process flexibility for modern wood panel manufacturing.

Applications

Advanced Centrifugal stranding technology

RevoStrand® is Globus’ patented centrifugal strander developed to produce ultra-thin wood strands with exceptional dimensional consistency for OSB, SLPB, and engineered wood panel production.

Unlike conventional stranding technologies, RevoStrand® accelerates the raw material before cutting, allowing every knife to work under optimized conditions. This unique principle improves strand geometry, maximizes raw material recovery, reduces fines generation, and delivers one of the lowest specific energy consumptions available in the industry.

Designed for continuous industrial operation, RevoStrand® combines precision engineering, flexible raw material processing, and outstanding production efficiency in a single centrifugal stranding solution.

Process more raw materials with greater flexibility

Modern panel production requires flexibility. RevoStrand® is designed to process a broad range of raw materials without compromising strand quality.

The machine efficiently processes sawmill slabs, veneer cores, cut edges, recycled wood, branches, small logs, and other wood residues up to 300 mm in length and 100 mm in diameter. Unlike conventional stranders that require carefully prepared feedstock, RevoStrand® maintains excellent cutting performance across highly variable raw materials.

Its optimized feeding system and patented centrifugal cutting principle maximize wood recovery while reducing waste and increasing usable production.

Key advantages:

Wide raw material flexibility
Processes green or dry wood
Higher raw material recovery
Reduced production waste
Excellent strand consistency

Precision centrifugal cutting technology

The patented centrifugal cutting principle is the technological core of RevoStrand®.

Instead of forcing material directly against the cutting tools, the centrifugal rotor accelerates the wood before it reaches the knives, creating optimized cutting conditions that produce ultra-thin, dimensionally consistent strands with minimal fines generation.

The precision-balanced rotor, optimized knife geometry, and carefully engineered cutting chamber work together to maximize cutting efficiency, reduce knife wear, and maintain stable production quality over extended operating periods.

Engineering benefits include:

Uniform strand geometry
Reduced fines generation
Lower knife wear
High cutting precision
Stable production performance

Optimized plant performance and Smart Control

RevoStrand® has been developed to integrate efficiently into modern OSB, SLPB, and engineered wood panel production plants, ensuring stable production performance and consistent strand quality throughout the process.

Its heavy-duty construction, optimized rotor design, and precision cutting technology provide excellent reliability under continuous industrial operation while minimizing maintenance requirements and reducing unplanned downtime.

When equipped with the SmartBox PLC Control system, RevoStrand® continuously monitors key operating parameters such as vibration, bearing temperature, and motor load. Real-time process data supports predictive maintenance strategies, helping operators maximize machine availability, optimize maintenance scheduling, and maintain consistent production performance.
