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.
Dry veneer grading ensures forwarding veneer to right next step of the production from redrying, scarf-jointing, patching, composing, or straight to lay-up.
At the veneer drying line, accurate grading is essential to keep material flowing efficiently toward the next process phases. The best way to secure consistent, unbiased decisions is to let intelligent analyzers perform the grading for you. In addition to classifying sheets, analyzers collect valuable process data that helps you optimize dryer performance, improve veneer quality, and boost overall profitability.
Modern analyzers grade sheets based on visual properties, moisture content, strength, and density. These capabilities can be delivered through individual systems or through integrated solutions that combine the features of two or even three analyzers into one compact unit, saving floor space, reducing investment costs, and most importantly, improving grading accuracy.
AI takes dry grading to a new level. Conventional vision systems often struggle to distinguish between sound knots, dark knots, loose knots, bark defects, and variations caused by heartwood or grain patterns. These limitations can lead to misgrading, unnecessary patching, and costly panel downgrading.
With AI-enhanced visual grading, these challenging distinctions can now be made reliably. At the drying line, AI accurately separates defects that need patching or composing from those that can be routed further downstream, such as to the panel repairing line. When combined with process simulation features, each veneer sheet can be directed to its most suitable next phase individually.
For example, face-quality sheets that require no patching can be identified directly at the dryer and sent straight to the lay-up line instead of the patching line, streamlining sheet flow and improving end-product quality.
Raute’s AI analyzers can be retrofitted to any dry grading line. AI-enabled visual detection can also be combined with moisture grading, strength analysis, and surface property assessment such as waviness and roughness, providing you with better decision-making tools to maximize raw-material value across your mill.
Discover how AI-enhanced dry veneer grading can improve quality, accuracy, and flow in your production.
