Built to be built.
Built to last.

A hybrid biochar plant engineered for the factory first, so every machine is the same machine: shipped in standard containers, installed by the people who built it, maintained with ordinary tools, and designed to run twenty years without a shift manager.

Designed for the factory before it was designed for the field.

The C1000 was engineered to be made in numbers. It is designed for robot welding, so production can meet global demand while every machine keeps the Woodtek quality of the first, built from the same drawings, the same parts register and the same jigs. Production moves to the new Woodtek factory in 2027.

One supplier. One scope. Trained on a running machine before yours ships.

Woodtek supplies, installs, commissions and supports the plant. There is no third-party integrator between the customer and the engineers who built the machine. At Woodtek HQ your operators can train on a running C1000 in operation, servicing and maintenance, and they can be part of the final assembly, the factory acceptance test and the strip-down for transport of their own machine, which is worth a great deal to the project once it is on site.

If you can change a wheel on a car, you can change a gearbox on the C1000.

The machine was built so that the electrics are plug and play. Anything that needs replacing on site is a mechanical job, a motor or a gearbox swapped with ordinary tools, not an electrical one. Global standard parts, a spares holding that covers a complete plant, and remote monitoring every hour of every day from the factory that built it. A plant runs on two to four scheduled shutdown services a year, planned around your operation.

Why have a shift manager when you can have a machine that is reliable?

The furnace is water-cooled and runs under negative pressure, with no external gas circuit and the patented air curtain at its heart, so it behaves like the biomass boilers the engineers behind Woodtek have been installing for forty years. Twenty-year design life. Runs unattended for most of its hours. The original prototype had passed 60,000 hours, still running, when it made way for the full-size customer machine that replaced it.

One factory, designed to be copied.

The C1000 was designed to be built, not just to run. Woodtek's new manufacturing facility at its Mid Wales HQ, going up through 2026 and 2027, is the template: the same drawings, the same jigs, the same parts register, the same training, and a C1000 of its own providing the heat and power for the manufacturing. As demand moves, the factory is copied where the demand is, rather than everything shipping from one giant plant. The first copy is expected to be in North America.
