  • Patent number: 5577671
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing low bark-content wood chips from whole-tree chips. The method has two or more sequential separation stages, which can be divided into pre-separation with a bark content of less than 10% and final cleaning, and in which the pre-separation comprises at least pneumatic separation and the final cleaning includes sorting based on color difference. Before pneumatic separation the bark is removed from the chips by grinding, which simultaneously reduces the particle size of the bark.
