Abstract :An analysis of the waste generation process from wood during logging operations is presented in this paper. The authors presented the concept of a device that can produce flour from green coniferous wood. An evaluation was also conducted regarding the quantity of waste derived from logging residues obtained directly from cutting sites, as well as the potential areas for utilization. The use of coniferous wood waste as a potential raw material for the production of various types of products is also noted. The concept of a mobile knife installation has been proposed for the generating flour from the greenery of coniferous trees, directly at the logging site. A multifactorial experiment was planned and implemented in order to determine the optimal design and technological parameters for the proposed installation and design of an industrial device. The investigation was conducted utilizing both analytical and experimental techniques. The use of a mobile installation for the production of flour from green coniferous wood, in conditions of logging operations, will expand the raw material base for the manufacture of products using pine needles, as well as reduce the amount of waste generated during the wood harvesting process. It will have a positive impact not only on the ecological situation of the environment, but also on the likelihood of a forest fire occurring and spreading.
