Technology

Scrimber - new Techno-logy for the global market

The timber construction market needs more efficient products. A quantum leap in efficiency.

Process

A simple process for new building products

Scrimber processes low-grade and underutilized timber assortments into high-performance, structurally load-bearing building materials.

Rolling logs

Tree trunks are fed through several pairs of rollers and thus shredded into individual wood chips. The fiber strands remain intact.

Glueing chaff

The wooden chaffs are dried and enriched with glue. The use of a bio-based adhesive is aimed at.

Production of raw plates

The chaff is pressed into Scrimber raw slabs in a continuous press.

Building products

Glulam and cross-laminated timber manufacturers process the Scrimber raw boards into finished building products.

Replacement for reinforced concrete

Scrimber can be used to create columns, beams and slabs for load-bearing can be created. They replace reinforced concrete.

Advantages

Scrimber can do everything that concrete can do. And much more.

Large quantities

With Scrimber, even low-grade and underutilized wood assortments can be processed into high-performance, structurally load-bearing building materials. This is our response to the high demand for timber construction products.

Reuse

Building products made from Scrimber can be 100% reused. When building elements made of wood are burned, only as much CO₂ is released as the tree has removed from the environment during its growth.

Climate-friendly and local

Wood stores CO₂ and the production of scrimber is many times more environmentally friendly than concrete. The raw material grows in the region and transportation routes are short.

Construction speed

Timber constructions do not require the drying times that are usual with concrete constructions. The projects are therefore ready for occupancy much more quickly and generate a faster return than conventional construction projects.

Wood utilization

The demand for solid wood products is high. Conventional products only have a wood yield of around 30%. With Scrimber, it is possible to fully utilize the trees and increase the yield to over 90%.

Lighter and space-saving

Scrimber floors and walls are space-saving in thickness, lighter than concrete products and have better thermal insulation and heat radiation.

Industrial manufacturing

Scrimber building boards and beams are produced continuously in industrial plants. Large quantities will be available from 2030.

High quality of life

Wood has unique properties for a pleasant indoor climate: it is breathable, warm to the touch and creates comfortable rooms for various purposes.

FAQ

What building products can be made with Scrimber?
In der ersten Phase soll Scrimber die Herstellung von Zwischenschichten für Brettsperrholz ermöglichen. Weitere Produkte sollen im Rahmen von Forschungsprojekten entwickelt werden.
Why does it need Scrimber products?
Timber construction is a megatrend - the demand for wood will increase. In order to the forest to supply the wood needed, there needs to be more efficient timber construction products. Up to now, only 30% of the tree is used for load-bearing structural components - Scrimber achieves 90%!
How relevant are the amounts of CO₂ stored in scrimber products?
Each cubic meter of scrimber removes approx. atmosphere about 1 ton of CO₂ , because the wood used binds the carbon contained in the CO₂. On our first large-scale industrial plant we aim to produce 600,000 metric tons of scrimber per year and, in the long term, with additional even more in the long term with further plants - which would therefore correspond to a stored CO₂ -quantity of several million tons per year. of several million metric tons per year: that's a huge quantity and also quite relevant in terms of climate policy.
Scrimber uses low-grade assortments and has a wood construction yield of 90%, thus almost the entire tree is turned into long-term CO₂-storing building materials.
