Wood Processing
ROTOMAC progressive cavity pumps are well suited to this combination of duties: gentle handling of fibrous slurries alongside high-accuracy metering of resins and additives, in a single robust pump platform.

Finished Product Wood Processing Sector
Fibrous Raw Material, Precision Chemistry
Wood processing — sawmilling, panel production and engineered wood manufacturing — combines fibrous, abrasive raw materials with resins, waxes and adhesives that must be dosed precisely to achieve consistent product quality.
Bark, sawdust and process wastewater all need to be handled reliably to keep production running. It is an unusual combination: the same plant needs a pump that will not clog on fibre and a pump that will meter resin to a tight tolerance.
One platform, both jobs. Gentle handling of fibrous slurries alongside high-accuracy metering of resins and additives, in a single robust pump platform — which simplifies spares holding, training and maintenance planning across the site.
Fibre Handling And Resin Metering
The raw material side and the chemistry side make opposite demands. Both are covered by the same pump principle.
Fibrous & Abrasive Material
Bark residue, sawdust slurry and wood fibre are conveyed without clogging — the open hopper and auger feed handle material that will not flow into a conventional inlet.
- Bark residue and sawdust slurry
- Wood fibre conveyed without clogging
- Handles abrasive raw material
Resins, Waxes & Additives
Resin systems and wax emulsions decide panel quality. They must be dosed precisely, repeatably and with minimal pulsation.
- Urea-formaldehyde and other resin systems
- Wax emulsions for water resistance
- High accuracy with minimal pulsation
ROTOMAC Pumps For The Wood Processing Industry
Four duties across sawmilling and panel production.
Resin And Adhesive Dosing
Urea-formaldehyde and other resin systems used in particleboard, MDF and plywood production are metered with high accuracy and minimal pulsation using our MP & LA Dosing Range.
Bark And Fibre Slurry Handling
Bark residue, sawdust slurry and wood fibre are conveyed without clogging using our Open Hopper Range pumps.
Wax Emulsion Metering
Wax emulsions used to improve panel water resistance are precisely dosed using our MP & LA Dosing Range.
Wastewater Treatment
Process wastewater from washing and pulping stages is reliably handled through treatment using our S Range or Open Hopper Range pumps.
Pump Ranges For Wood Processing
The ranges most often specified for this sector. Send us your duty and our engineers will confirm the model.
S Range
Robust all-round progressive cavity pumps conveying low to highly viscous products, with or without solids.
W Range
Open hopper pumps with integrated auger feed for highly viscous, semi-solid and non-flowable products.
