Before being a company, AFICOR SA is a motivated and dynamic team, with a spirit of partnership and the satisfaction of a properly executed mandate as its primary objective.
Development of prototypes & mini-series
Either for its own needs or for third parties, AFICOR has solid experience in the manufacture of machines for special uses.
Its infrastructure: management programme, drawing and calculation software, knowledge in automation, vast database of products and suppliers, complete manufacturing workshop, breakdown bus, enables it to undertake the realization of its machines from A to Z.
This philosophy has many advantages: centralised service and spare parts, a single point of contact, flexibility and rapid decision-making.
Today, the energy content of wood chips is determined based on metering of heat delivered by the boiler. Consequently, the wood chip supplier can only bill for the useful heat that the consumer is able to produce with his boiler. The goal of this installation is to develop a system able to determine the energy content of wood chips at the time of delivery, as it is the case for any other type of fuel. In order to achieve this goal, a dedicated device, which incorporates a continuous measurement of moisture and of mass flow, was designed and built. These two parameters, in addition to the constant values of the higher heating value (gross calorific value) of dry wood and the average hydrogen content, allow to quickly determine the energy content of wood chips. The first measurements under real conditions in the field showed that the energy contained in a load of 40 m³ is determined in less than 10 minutes with an error smaller than 5 %. Much more precise and objective measurement, independent from the customer’s boiler efficiency will significantly simplify woodchips billing practices.
Thanks to this machine, you will be able to order or deliver wood corresponding to your boiler or customer's boiler, which will reduce its consumption, thus reducing CO2 from the boiler and its wear and tear, reducing the quantities delivered, reducing CO2 due to transport, reducing fine dust, toxic gases such as NOX, and reducing the annual energy bill.
