The production begins with the initial separation of raw material by width, length, species and recovery (grade). Material is then stress relieved and dried to a suitable machining level.
From the initial sorting, the material is either separated for direct moulding, sent to the rip saw for linear optimizing, or loaded into the chop line for cross cut optimizing.
Grade and rate of recovery at the various machine centres determine how material is processed from this point. This is where our "secondary" manufacturing kicks in.
We do a variance analysis of the actual vs projected yield in various grades and lengths. Cut stock is generally palletised and sent out to customers.
Components are processed in accordance with order specifications and go through a series of steps that include some or all of a finger jointer, moulder, veneer saw and laminator.
