Our presswood pallet production line features two powerful models: WM-1600 and WM-D1600, each designed to meet different production demands while maintaining superior performance and flexibility.
The WM-1600 is an upgraded version of our popular WM-1000 model. It delivers significantly higher compression force, which results in:
Denser pallets with improved water resistance and durability
Up to 20% higher production efficiency compared to WM-1000
Capability to produce nine-leg presswood pallets, as shown below：
This model is ideal for businesses looking to increase pallet strength and throughput while maintaining cost efficiency. It’s widely used in industries such as logistics, manufacturing, and export packaging.
The WM-D1600 offers all the benefits of the WM-1600 and adds a much-requested feature: dual mold compatibility.
Produces both nine-leg and flat presswood pallets
Equipped with advanced control systems for precise molding
Perfect for users who need flexibility in pallet types and shapes
This machine has become a favorite among customers who serve diverse industries with varying pallet requirements.
Beyond producing presswood pallets, both WM-1600 and WM-D1600 are multi-functional compression molding machines. By simply changing the mold, they can be used to manufacture a wide range of products, including:
Plastic pallets
Roofing tiles
Sanitary bathtubs
Manhole covers
Construction formworks
Metal parts
Automotive components, and more
This versatility makes them ideal for manufacturers aiming to maximize ROI and diversify production lines using a single piece of equipment.

1. What is a Presswood Pallet Production Line?
A Presswood Pallet Production Line is an automated system designed to manufacture presswood pallets using recycled wood materials such as wood chips, sawdust, and wood shavings. The system integrates processes like raw material crushing, drying, mixing, hot-press molding, cooling, and quality inspection to produce durable, eco-friendly pallets suitable for logistics and shipping.
2. What raw materials are used in the production process?
The primary raw materials include:
Sawdust
Wood chips
Wood shavings
Recycled wood waste
Environmentally friendly adhesives (urea-formaldehyde or melamine adhesive)
These materials are cost-effective, sustainable, and widely available, reducing dependency on fresh timber.
3. What are the advantages of Presswood Pallets compared to traditional wooden pallets?
✅ Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled wood waste.
✅ Cost-Effective: Lower long-term costs due to durability.
✅ Space-Saving: Nestable design reduces storage requirements by up to 60%.
✅ Durable: Higher resistance to moisture, pests, and breakage.
✅ Customizable: Available in various sizes, designs, and load capacities.
✅ ISPM-15 Compliant: Suitable for international shipping without additional fumigation.
4. How does the Presswood Pallet Production Line work?
The production process includes the following stages:
Raw Material Preparation: Wood waste is crushed and screened.
Drying: Moisture content is reduced using industrial dryers.
Mixing: Dried wood materials are mixed with adhesive.
Hot-Press Molding: The mixture is placed in molds and compressed under high temperature and pressure.
Cooling: Pallets are cooled and cured to maintain their shape and strength.
Quality Inspection: Final products are inspected for consistency and durability.
Stacking and Packaging: Finished pallets are stacked and prepared for shipment.
5. What is the production capacity of a Presswood Pallet Production Line?
Production capacity depends on machine specifications:
Single-Mold Machine: 120–150 pallets per day
