- Core Barrel (Neck)
- Fastening Screws
- Optional Waterproof Coating
Standard Reel Diameters
ZK Hydraulic supplies customized molds according to customer specifications.
Flexible & Abundant Raw Materials
One of the greatest advantages of compressed wood molding is the wide availability of low-cost raw materials from forestry and agricultural industries.
🪵 Wood Waste
- Sawdust
- Wood Chips
- Wood Shavings
- Wood Flakes
- Waste Pallets
- Wood Blocks
- Plywood Scraps
- Furniture Waste
🌾 Agricultural Biomass
- Rice Husk
- Coconut Coir
- Palm Fiber
- Bamboo Fiber
- Bagasse

Production Process
Every cable reel is manufactured through a standardized compression molding process to ensure consistent quality and structural strength.
Crushing
Waste wood is crushed into uniform particles.
Drying
Moisture content is controlled between 8%–12%.
Glue Mixing
Fibers are mixed with UF, MUF or MDI adhesive.
Compression Molding
Hydraulic presses form dense and durable components under high temperature and pressure.
Assembly
Flanges and neck sections are connected using industrial-grade screws.
Paraffin wax or waterproof additives can be added during production to improve outdoor storage performance and moisture resistance.
Why Are Compressed Wood Cable Reels Becoming More Popular?
Compared with traditional wooden, steel, and plastic cable drums, compressed wood cable reels provide a more sustainable, economical, and export-friendly packaging solution.
💰 Lower Production Cost
Waste wood materials are generally 30–70% less expensive than virgin timber, dramatically reducing manufacturing costs.
🌱 Sustainable Manufacturing
Transforming waste biomass into industrial products reduces landfill waste and supports the circular economy.
⚖ Lightweight Design
Considerably lighter than steel reels, resulting in lower transportation and labor costs.
🏗 High Mechanical Strength
High-pressure molding creates dense fiber structures with excellent compression and impact resistance.
🎯 Consistent Quality
Uniform density and precision molds guarantee repeatable dimensions without natural wood defects.
🌍 Export Ready
Manufactured under high temperature and pressure, complying with ISPM-15 without fumigation.
