Wood processing solutions for sawmills
At ANDRITZ, we understand the challenges faced by sawmills and are committed to providing innovative and sustainable solutions to enhance your operations. Our comprehensive range of wood processing technologies is designed to improve efficiency, safety, and environmental performance.
ANDRITZ. FOR GROWTH THAT MATTERS.
Advanced logyard management
Our Autonomous Logyard Crane is a game-changer for sawmills. These electric-driven cranes significantly reduce operating costs by up to 50% and eliminate the need for diesel fuel, thereby minimizing CO2 emissions and noise pollution. With a smaller yard footprint and reduced soil contaminants, our cranes ensure a cleaner and safer working environment.
Modern woodyards equipped with cranes not only boost productivity but also enhance safety. Cranes provide an economical solution to the management challenges posed by rising fuel costs and labor shortages. Cranes can be operated remotely and automatically, which increases safety.
SMART woodyard digitalization
Embrace the future with our SMART woodyard digitalization products. Our solutions, including the ANDI™ – the crane AI, provide real-time tracking and classification of wood, automated inventory management, and raw material tracking. This not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes towards zero CO2 emissions.
The ANDRITZ ScanChip Analyzer uses image analysis technology to monitor chip quality in a fast and accurate way. The ScanChip system is designed for either online version integrated with the mill’s control system or offline as a laboratory instrument. It can also be equipped with an automatic chip sampling device to take regular samples of the chip flow.
Cutting-edge technology for sawlines, profilers and debarkers
ANDRITZ sawmill products include state-of-the-art debarking and chipping equipment. All our sawmill chipping products, like the PowerHead canter heads, use the well-known TurnKnife system. The TurnKnife is a high-quality knife system that, due to its special design and manufacturing precision, produces chips of the best quality over a long period of time. The system is based on an easily manageable knife with two edges and without re-grinding.
ANDRITZ Campro and Crestool debarking tools for Cambio and Nicholson type debarkers provide high performance, superior strength and high adjustability for various wood species and circumstances.
