Wobble Disc distribution system
The SRC Knife Ring Flaker incorporates Globus’ patented Wobble Disc Distribution System, an innovative technology specifically developed to maximize flake quality, cutting efficiency, and machine reliability. By distributing wood chips uniformly across the entire width of the knife ring, the system ensures that every knife is fully utilized, resulting in consistent particle geometry, reduced knife wear, and one of the lowest specific energy consumptions available on the market.
The independently driven eccentric wobble disc continuously optimizes material flow inside the cutting chamber, preventing chip accumulation and guaranteeing a stable cutting process even under demanding production conditions. Combined with decades of engineering expertise in knife geometry and cutting dynamics, this technology allows the SRC to deliver outstanding performance while reducing operating costs.
Key engineering features include:
- Patented Wobble Disc Distribution System for uniform chip distribution throughout the cutting chamber.
- Independently driven eccentric disc for precise material flow control and maximum cutting efficiency.
- Optimized knife geometry with configurations of up to 54 knives for superior flake quality.
- High-precision rotor with counterknife presetting system for accurate and repeatable cutting performance.
- Automatic oil lubrication system for the main bearings, reducing maintenance requirements and extending component life.
- Feeding door with integrated air cleaner to remove heavy contaminants before the flaking process.
Designed for continuous industrial production, the SRC combines high throughput, premium flake quality and exceptional reliability, making it the ideal solution for modern particleboard production lines.
High-Performance Knife Ring Flaker for Particleboard Production
The Globus SRC Knife Ring Flaker is specifically engineered to produce high-quality wood flakes for modern particleboard manufacturing. Thanks to its optimized cutting geometry, it delivers consistent flake dimensions with minimal fines generation, ensuring improved resin distribution, stronger boards and excellent surface quality.
Its advanced cutting system provides stable performance over long production cycles while maintaining one of the lowest specific energy consumptions in the industry.
Typical applications include:
- Surface layer flakes
- Core layer flakes
- Standard particleboard production
- High-capacity wood preparation lines
- Green and dry wood chips
The SRC integrates perfectly with complete wood preparation lines, including MTG Drum Chippers and conveyors systems, creating a highly efficient production process from log to finished flakes.
Patented Wobble Disc distribution system
The patented Wobble Disc Distribution System is one of the key technologies that differentiates the SRC Knife Ring Flaker from conventional flakers.
Instead of concentrating wood chips in limited areas of the knife ring, the wobble disc distributes material uniformly across the entire cutting width, maximizing knife utilization and reducing localized wear.
This results in:l
- Uniform chip distribution
- Excellent flake geometry
- Reduced knife wear
- Lower specific energy consumption
- Stable production over extended operating periods
The result is consistent flake quality, longer component life, and lower operating costs throughout the machine’s lifetime.
Maximum efficiency with reduced operating costs
Every component of the SRC Knife Ring Flaker has been designed to maximize production efficiency while minimizing maintenance requirements and total operating costs.
Its heavy-duty construction guarantees long-term reliability under continuous industrial workloads, while large inspection doors simplify service operations and reduce downtime during knife replacement and routine maintenance.
Integrated with Globus Drum Chippers, vibrating feeders, conveyors and complete wood preparation systems, the SRC becomes the core of a highly efficient particleboard production line.
Main benefits include:
- High production capacity
- Low specific energy consumption
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Longer knife lifetime
- Excellent flake consistency
