CHARACTERISTICS

Applications and advantages of SRC knife ring flaker

SRC knife ring flaker by Globus Srl – industrial wood flaking machine for particleboard and OSB production

SRC knife ring flaker by Globus Srl is an advanced wood flaking machine designed for high-efficiency production of uniform flakes used in particleboard, MDF, OSB, and biomass plants.
Built with precision engineering and decades of experience in wood size reduction, the SRC flaker combines low energy consumption with high productivity and consistent flake quality.

In the wood-based panel industry, the quality of the flake directly affects board strength, surface smoothness, and resin distribution. The Globus knife ring flaker ensures a perfectly controlled cutting process, producing homogeneous flakes ideal for both surface and core layers.

SRC – Knife Ring Flaker

Innovative Wobble Disc Distribution System

Its innovative design, featuring a wobble disc distribution system, ensures optimal chip distribution across the entire length of the knife, maximizing cutting efficiency and flake uniformity.
This patented wobble spreader disc technology guarantees that wood chips are evenly distributed inside the machine, fully utilizing each knife’s cutting edge and reducing wear and energy consumption.

Key technical highlights include:

Patented wobble spreader disc for uniform chip distribution inside the cutting chamber
Independently driven eccentric disc to enhance precision and overall efficiency
Optimized chip distribution for maximum knife edge utilization, lowering power demand and wear costs
Extensive research to determine the ideal knife geometry and configuration (up to 54 knives)
Automated oil lubrication system for main bearings to minimize maintenance and downtime
High-precision rotor with counterknife presetting system for accurate cutting geometry
Feeding door with integrated air cleaner to remove heavy pollutants before flaking

These engineering solutions make the SRC knife ring flaker one of the most advanced and reliable systems for industrial wood flake production.

Efficiency, Reliability, and Integration

Thanks to its optimized knife ring design and aerodynamic material flow, the SRC flaker ensures high throughput with minimal energy use.
The robust structure and wear-resistant components guarantee long-term operation under continuous industrial load, while the user-friendly access doors simplify inspections and knife replacement.

Globus SRC knife ring flaker can be perfectly integrated with Globus drum chippers, vibrating conveyors, and screening systems to form a complete wood preparation line for particleboard or OSB production.
Optional SmartBox PLC controls allow continuous monitoring of vibration, temperature, and motor load.

Designed and manufactured in Italy, the SRC knife ring flaker represents the ideal combination of cutting precision, energy efficiency, and engineering innovation for the modern wood-processing industry.
