Lines & Machines
Lines
There is always a "fit-to-your-need" line from Raute's own offering for any and all production processes starting from log handling, running through veneer production to plywood, LVL, or solid wood panels.
Machines
The core of production lines is made of machines. Many of Raute’s machines can be installed into existing lines as modernizations, also to other brand but Raute lines.
Analyzers
Making the most out of your raw material is made possible by modern analyzing systems. Intelligent analyzers make the right decisions at right time. Raute offers a wide variety of different types of analyzers for veneer, plywood, LVL, and lumber production.
Future-proof your mill.
Raute offers services worldwide to maintain existing veneer, plywood, and LVL production machinery and to improve the production.
Accurate and consistent grading is essential for efficient and profitable engineered wood production. Raute analyzers provide the reliable, real-time data needed to maximize recovery, maintain stable quality, reduce waste, and ensure that every sheet and panel is used at its highest value. With AI-enhanced accuracy, analyzing is no longer just defect detection. It is a foundation for smarter, automated decision-making throughout the production flow.

Raute offers a comprehensive portfolio of analyzers for veneer, plywood, LVL, mass timber, and lumber production. Our platform integrates visual grading, moisture measurement, strength properties, and surface feature detection, now enhanced with AI to provide more precise and consistent defect recognition. Whether used at a single process step or connected mill-wide, Raute analyzers create a consistent, AI-ready basis for fully data-driven production.
Raute analyzers combine extensive knowledge of wood behavior with advanced AI-based defect recognition. AI identifies subtle, low-contrast, and grain-pattern-affected defects that traditional machine vision often misses, resulting in higher on-grade accuracy, improved material routing, and better raw material recovery.
As the only technology provider capable of delivering and optimizing the entire production process for veneer-based engineered wood products, Raute ensures that analyzer data is fully integrated with mill-level operations. This enables decisions made by analyzers to directly support a smoother production flow, higher utilization, and more predictable output across the entire mill.
Built on trusted Mecano and Metriguard technologies, now unified under the Raute brand, Raute analyzers offer proven reliability, upgrade flexibility, and long-term lifecycle value. With AI integrated into new systems and available as a modernization upgrade for many existing lines, Raute provides a clear path to higher performance and more profitable production.

At the log yard of a mill, the incoming raw material is being sorted, qualified, and processed to logs for further processing. With us, your veneer and lumber production process starts with the market’s most precise and effective log handling.
Veneer is a thin wood sheet manufactured by peeling or slicing from a log, used primarily as the main ingredient in the making of plywood and LVL. We supply mills with solutions for all wood species, hardwood and softwood.
Plywood is a panel of wood consisting of thin, cross-bonded veneers, making it exponentially stronger than solid wood and one of the most versatile materials in the world. We are one of the world’s most reliable suppliers of mill-scale plywood projects.
LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) is a sturdy wooden beam made of veneers; ideal for load-bearing structures. More than half of the world’s LVL is produced with Raute machines, which can make LVL in all lengths, thicknesses and widths.
Panel handling covers finalizing wood-based panels to meet the end customer’s requirements. Raute's offering includes all panel handling technologies for plywood and selected solutions for solid wood panels.
