Large caliber meets precision

Customised waste wood processing

A narrow sawmill with a limited amount of space.
Challenged by these conditions, the Austrian company Schaffer Holz is integrating a new, customized system from the mechanical engineering company Vecoplan – for reliable, economical and sustainable waste wood processing.

Requirements

The challenge involved several aspects

The high proportion of waste wood of around 35%, which is produced from an annual cutting volume of 150,000 solid cubic meters, had to be taken into account, as did the narrow and confined layout of the plant on site. The entire disposal technology had to fit into the special architecture without compromising on performance and reliability.

The exact separation of wood chips and sawdust is particularly important to the company, as the quality of the end product influences the sales price.

Solution

Precise separation,
maximum utilisation

For this reason, Schaffer opted for a complete solution from Vecoplan, consisting of conveying, shredding and screening technology optimally adapted to the complex system.

Result

Tailor-made technology in
the tightest of spaces

The implementation of this demanding project was an exciting challenge for both Schaffer and Vecoplan.

Following a one-year planning phase, the installation was started in March 2024. The system was finally commissioned in July and has been producing impressive results ever since. “We’re very happy that we decided to choose Vecoplan. The system runs reliably, the quality of the wood chips is good and the screens allow us to make targeted improvements,” says Lambert Sattler.
