Abstract

In recent years, logging technology has changed significantly in the Republic of Belarus. The chainsaw and skidder have been replaced by high-performance forestry equipment, such as harvesters and forwarders. The introduction of modern technology into the logging process made it possible to drastically increase the production of logging process. At the same time, some problems have been revealed that need to be solved: deep ruts on forest roads forming because of the passage of loaded forwarders, which makes these roads difficult to drive along them; heaps of uncollected logging waste being a favorable breeding ground for forest pests. Large volumes of logging waste are destroyed nowadays; however, there are technologies and equipment that can be used to work this waste into useful, commercially demanded product, especially fuel. A fuel of that kind is a crushed wood obtained from logging waste by grinding it oh chippers. This material has already been supplied to boiler houses, and it can be effectively burned even without preliminary drying. For this purpose, special boiler house equipment is produced in the Republic of Belarus. It does not limit the percentage of bark and green mass (pine needles and foliage). The crushed pulp can be dried to a moisture content of 10–12% and crushed to a particle of 1–2 mm size. As a result, the granulator produces wood pelletsIt is a high-calorie and environmentally friendly fuel, that is in demand not only in the domestic but also in a foreign market.
