LVL raises
profitability
LVL
(Laminated Veneer Lumber) provides plywood producers with a
cost-effective means of improving their profitability by utilizing their
existing technology. This engineered wood product also presents an
opportunity to lumber producers who may wish to take advantage of the
value-added marketing potential offered by LVL.
Unlimited length, a multitude of possibilities
LVL is
an engineered product available in almost limitless dimensions. It
possesses uniform quality, consistent straightness and is produced to
meet the exact specifications of the end-user, with no waste. LVL is
used in everything from load-bearing structures to furniture frames.
From low-cost raw material to high value end products
Large
dimension LVL can be made from small-diameter trees. This enables
low-cost material to be processed into high value end products, which
satisfy the requirements of the most demanding end-users. The structural
properties of LVL can be tailored to accommodate different raw material
densities, veneer thicknesses, veneer qualities, lay-up methods and
glues.
Log
handling

Log-handling lines, from conditioning to peeling. Raute provides an
extensive range of log-handling lines. Systems are designed to limit
downtime and to realize the most effective recovery from the raw
material. Raute is able to supply log handling lines that are capable of
handling large volumes of small-diameter plantation wood and species
that may require special handling due to their mechanical properties.
Peeling
“Smart” peeling solutions for a wide range of wood species. Raute lathes
are in use worldwide, processing a wide range of species. This is the
industry’s unique peeling needs with innovative products. These include
the triple spindle lathe and the rotary veneer clipper, both of which
