KVH® Manufacturing Process

KVH goes through a number of production processes. Cutting on a high-performance plant, piling, technical drying, calibration, lopping and commissioning are the main steps on the way to produce high-quality KVH. A quality check is performed between the individual steps in each case.

Localization of defective patches

The defective patches of the beam are marked after careful checks. The marked pieces are then lopped.

Milling and Bonding

To achieve a stable bond of timber pieces, wedge teeth are milled into the ends of the trimmed timber. The individual pieces are force-fit bonded through these wedge joints with formaldehyde-free glue.

Wedge Galvanizing

The last polish

A perfect smooth surface is achieved after bonding and pasting of the trimmed timber pieces through planing. The wedge bond is invisible.

To harvest a tree does not mean to destroy it. It rather means using it to create a quality of life for people who live ecologically and aim at leaving a healthy environment to their children.
