Wood & biomass
Bulk material handling technology for wood chips, shavings, pellets and related materials – designed for energy-efficient operation and demanding material properties
Efficient solutions for processing biogenic residues and fibrous bulk materials
Processing wood and biomass presents specific operational challenges. Fibrous or moist materials, fluctuating bulk densities, dust generation and requirements for fire and explosion protection must be considered. At the same time, the demand for flexible systems to convert fossil-based installations to alternative fuels is increasing.
DI MATTEO supplies modular bulk material handling systems covering all stages of material logistics, from material reception and storage through to conveying, dosing and feeding into downstream recovery or processing systems. Size reduction, separation or drying can also be integrated into the process chain where required.
Technology for wood and biomass utilisation
Our systems are configured according to the specific characteristics of biogenic raw materials, whether in sawmills, pellet production lines, biomass power plants or residue recovery systems. Our equipment can be integrated into existing installations or implemented as part of new plant concepts.
Benefits

ATEX compliant
For applications in hazardous areas, our equipment is available in compliance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, ensuring safe and reliable operation in explosion-risk environments.
Temperature resistance
Our machines are engineered to match your specific requirements and operating environments, covering a wide range of operating temperatures – from extremely low to very high temperature conditions.
Shredding
With high-performance shredding technology, agglomerated, compacted or compressed bulk materials are reliably conditioned. The result: uniform material flow, precise dosing and stable processes. Robust systems designed for flexible integration and economical operation with low maintenance requirements.
Tailored bulk material handling technology for wood and biomass
Our systems perform key functions within the material flow, from reception and storage through to controlled dosing and low-dust feeding into recovery systems. Fluctuating material properties or high moisture content can also be handled with stable process operation.
Whether wood chips, sawdust, pellets, waste wood or residual biomass, the equipment can be configured according to the specific process requirements. The systems are designed for compact installation, reliable availability and service-friendly maintenance under varying material conditions.
Typical applications in the wood and biomass industry:
-
Material reception, storage and conveying of shavings, wood chips, waste wood or pellets
-
Discharge from bunkers and storage vessels designed to prevent bridging of critical materials
-
Controlled feeding into furnaces, dryers or thermal recovery systems
-
Material processing by drying, screening or separation as upstream process stages
-
Integration into existing plant structures or implementation of complete new installations
-
Conversion of fossil-based systems to alternative fuels such as wood, biomass or refuse-derived fuels
Robust system design combined with process-oriented configuration supports safe, low-emission and efficient material processing.
