Here, the fully automatic processing begins. The trees are placed on a conveyor system, separated, reduced by the roots, and debarked. The next step is the automatic measurement of the log: to what degree is it curved, how long is it, and what’s the diameter? Furthermore, a cross cut indicates whether the timber is healthy or not. The separator grades the timber and decides which log is assigned to which order based on measurement values and according to the current orders situation. On the 222 meter sorting line, the logs are then sorted into order-related boxes.
(All resulting waste products such as milling shavings, bark, and larger cut-off pieces are made available for utilization.)  | | It is our corporate philosophy to allocate the order to the material, not the reverse. We treat the resource timber with respect, and for every single piece, we decide anew what for it may be used best.
By means of the flexible system of sorting the timber, we guarantee a very fast and customer-related order processing. That way, more than thousand different products can be manufactured per day, while with a rigid systematic order processing perhaps only one product per day would leave the production lines.
GELO Timber Industries processes an average of 1 100 cubic meters of timber each day - that’s the quantity needed for approximately 150 roof structures. |
