Veneer Patcher R3 small in size, big in capacity and quality

Raute Veneer Patcher R3 is designed to efficiently repair knots, holes, and other defects in veneer. Compared to manual patching, it improves productivity, consistency, and workplace safety while helping maximize veneer recovery.

The machine uses butterfly-type patches to achieve reliable patch retention without additional manual repair or gluing. An integrated thermo-bond taping unit enables quick repair of loose composed joints and veneer edge splits, further increasing usable veneer yield.

Designed for easy installation and operation, the compact machine requires minimal floor space and can be integrated into production quickly. It is suitable for both short- and long-grain veneer and can repair a wide range of defect sizes. Daily operation is straightforward and can be managed by a single operator.

The Veneer Patcher R3 is also designed for long-term reliability. A durable die can produce up to 50 million patches, helping minimize maintenance requirements and support consistent production performance.

Whether you are introducing veneer patching to your production for the first time or expanding existing capacity, the Veneer Patcher R3 provides a practical and efficient solution for improving veneer quality, recovery, and productivity.
