Profiling & Reducer Technology

The modern-day EWD Profiling Lines cover today lines operating with one saw pattern per log batch to fully flexible saw lines processing logs in scan and set mode, with asymmetric saw patterns, including active curve sawing and diagonal profiling for maximum centre product and sideboard recovery.

Each log can be sawn individually, for its maximum yield and with optimized log gaps for resetting of the tools.
The feed speed of the profiling lines is selected based on required production, offering range up to a top speed of 200 m/min. Profiling Technology: Profiling and Saw Unit FR16 – Profiling and sawing with one machine, for scan and set processing Profiling Unit FR15V – Profiling with vertically arranged profiling heads, for variable board position and width Profiling Unit FR15H – Profiling with horizontally arranged profiling heads, for variable board position and width Profiling Unit FR15S – Profiling with vertically arranged profiling heads and preceding notching saws Reducing technology is a sawmill industry term describing a process using chipper canter units to chip off the round slabs of the log and cant before sawing machines cut off the side boards from the center product cant. The side boards are then sent to separate optimizing edger systems.

EWD uses as sawing machines bandsaws as well as circular saw machines. The reducing technology is able to handle a very large log diameter range from 10 cm to 75 cm. The log length range varies from a 1,8 m log up to 14 m long logs.
EWD builds custom-made solutions for the very individual needs of the international sawmill industry. The reducing technology is used for production capacities of 20 to 200 m³ log intake per hour. Reducer Technology: Universal Chipper Canter PF19 – for medium to large Reducing and Profiling lines Reducing Bandsaw Quadroline – EWD Bandsaw Technology stands for high recovery, flexibility and high performance.
