In recent years, more efficient utilization methods for agricultural and forestry waste have gradually gained popularity. Agricultural and forestry residues such as rice straw and wheat straw, rich in fiber, can be repurposed through ThoYu’s plant fiber molding technology to produce high-performance pressed wood pallets.

What are the characteristics of straw raw materials?

Although straw raw materials may seem low-cost, their inherent properties, along with drawbacks in collection and storage, directly impact the quality and production costs of pressed wood pallets.

First, they are lightweight and bulky, occupying significant space during collection, storage, and transportation, leading to high logistics costs.

Second, dry straw is highly flammable, imposing strict safety requirements for storage.

Third, straw has a low lignin content (approximately 12%–20%, much lower than wood’s 25%–35%), and lignin is a key determinant of pallet hardness, strength, and load-bearing capacity.

Additionally, straw harvesting is seasonal, requiring the stockpiling of a year’s supply of raw materials within a short period, which creates substantial storage pressure.

So, how can these problems be overcome to produce high-quality Pressed Wood Pallets?

The plant fiber molded pallet production solution from ThoYu can transform these loose straw, wood chips, and other waste materials into uniformly structured and highly performing molded pallets under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

Customized Molds

The mold size of the ThoYu pressed wood pallet machine is adjustable. Every set of ThoYu molds is designed specifically for the characteristics of the raw material, allowing for tailor-made molds for straw-based materials.

Mixed Raw Materials

The difference in the density of the raw materials will affect the weight of the filling material, which in turn directly influences the density and strength of the final product.

To address the weakness in the strength of straw, the ThoYu company innovatively combined straw with wood chips or other fibrous materials. This approach effectively enhanced the strength and load-bearing capacity of the pressed wooden pallets, while also controlling costs, making it more suitable for logistics and storage applications.
