A new lumber sorting line made by Springer started up operations at
Despond mill in Switzerland. Lumber with
lengths ranging from 4 to 5 meters is graded and sorted with a system capacity
of 60 cycles. The overall package also comprises the MiCROTEC M3 scanner for
moisture detection with a downstream ViScan for strength measurement - the
first of its kind in Switzerland, as the company
said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
"Thanks to the high degree of automation, we are able to cut our
production costs significantly and our customers are given added value through
this new system combination," says Despond owner Jean-François Rime.
Springer is Europe’s number one in developing
innovative solutions for the timber industry.
