Tschopp Holzindustrie relies on waste wood processing from Vecoplan in its new sawmill
Tschopp Holzindustrie AG manufactures quality shuttering panels. The company uses its wood residues for pellet production. The capacities of the plant have been at the limit for years. With a new plant, Tschopp will now triple wood processing in the medium term – and that necessitates high-performance chip disposal. Vecoplan supplied Tschopp with the perfect technology for this task.
