Ca­hen­zli joi­ne­ry: chips and wood scraps are more va­lu­able fuel

To the ful­lest sa­tis­fac­tion

Chips and wood re­si­du­es from joi­ne­ries are not was­te but va­lu­able fuel. With Schmid En­er­gy So­lu­ti­ons as a long-term part­ner, the car­pen­try and joi­ne­ry Ca­hen­zli from Trin GR has found the op­ti­mi­zed so­lu­ti­on for them.

Ste­fan Ca­hen­zli, ow­ner of the car­pen­try and joi­ne­ry Ca­hen­zli, pro­du­ces stairs, bal­co­nies, fa­ca­des, floo­ring, fur­ni­tu­re, kit­chens, doors and bathrooms in his new buil­ding in Trin. The Chur site spe­cia­li­zes in win­dows. As a wood pro­ces­sor, Ca­hen­zli pro­du­ces chips and wood re­si­du­es – a va­lu­able fuel. The histo­ry of the fa­mi­ly busi­ness, foun­ded in 1936, shows many par­al­lels to the histo­ry of Schmid AG. Thus, a coope­ra­ti­on bet­ween the two com­pa­nies was ob­vious. A UTSD 140/65 wood chip hea­ting sys­tem with e-cleanpar­ti­cle se­pa­ra­tor was in­stal­led in the new buil­ding. This ta­kes over the heat ge­nera­ti­on for the buil­ding.

Sen­sors op­ti­mi­ze com­bus­ti­on The UTSD wood chip hea­ting sys­tem uses sen­sors to mea­su­re com­bus­ti­on and pre­cise­ly re­gu­la­tes the sup­ply of fuel, as well as the air sup­ply, and can thus en­su­re op­ti­mal com­bus­ti­on. In this way, even moist fu­els up to M40 can be uti­li­zed. The au­to­ma­tic ash re­mo­val sys­tem makes the hea­ter low-main­ten­an­ce. All re­le­vant in­for­ma­ti­on can be cal­led up and the hea­ter mo­ni­to­red via the 7-inch touch­screen. The e-clean par­ti­cle se­pa­ra­tor is in­te­gra­ted di­rec­t­ly above the boi­ler heat ex­ch­an­ger, which ex­clu­des con­den­sa­te de­ve­lop­ment and thus cau­ses neit­her high-vol­ta­ge los­ses nor cor­ro­si­on da­ma­ge. The sys­tem en­su­res a per­ma­nent fil­ter avai­la­bi­li­ty grea­ter than 90%. With the au­to­ma­tic boi­ler clea­ning sys­tem, the fil­te­red out par­ti­cles end up in the ash con­tai­ner. The fil­ter sys­tem can be re­tro­fit­ted.

Ste­fan Ca­hen­zli, it’s ob­vious that you use a wood-fired hea­ting sys­tem. Why did you award the con­tract to the Schmid com­pa­ny?

We already had a wood-fired heating system from Schmid at our previous processing site. It served us well for years. This and the shared company values never left me in doubt about which manufacturer to consider.

What pro­blems did you have to over­co­me?

From experience, we knew that conveying and chopping the fuel can lead to problems. That is why we had paid special attention to this issue.

What tips do you sha­re with your in­dus­try col­leagues?

At the beginning, I thought I could just get the individual component manufacturers around the table, present the project, and then things would work out. Here, I underestimated the coordination a bit. Today, I would hire a planner right from the start to take a look at the entire project, do the necessary
the project as a whole, make the necessary calculations for dimensioning, and take over the coordination. Since we currently produce too much fuel in the summer, we cannot
summer, we cannot use it ourselves. This is another issue that we will have to solve later on. Currently, excess fuel is being burned at high cost in the waste incineration plant, which is very annoying from my point of view.

Whe­re could the Schmid com­pa­ny help you in par­ti­cu­lar?

Thanks to its knowledge and experience, the Schmid company provided important inputs for dimensioning the plant and the general implementation. It provides competent, needs-oriented advice and practical suggestions for solutions. Despite initial difficulties, the plant could now be put into operation to our complete satisfaction thanks to the excellent service.
