Commissionning of new log sorting line for HASSLACHER Group in Preding, Austria

Commissionning of new log sorting line for HASSLACHER Group in Preding, Austria

At the beginning of September 2019, the commissioning of the new log yard for the HASSLACHER Group in Preding, Austria was finished successfully. The enlargement of the log yard of HASSLACHER PREDING Holzindustrie GmbH was part of a 40 million investment, and the company trusted in the HOLTEC log yard for the first time of its history.

HOLTEC chainless technology, which has been proved for over 10 years, finally convinced the HASSLACHER Group. As well as the investment costs, there are also the running costs (maintenance, lubrication and wearing) which have to be reduced and this was also a main part of the decision.

By using the HOLTEC V-roller way, maximum acceleration of the logs is achieved and by the Gap-Control TM the debarker type Valon Kone  is fed with a maximum speed of 130 m/min.

Logs between 3,0 m and 5,3 m in length are sorted into one of the 72 boxes. With the investment they want to achieve an annual capacity of 600.000 solid m³. The installation has been running from the beginning of September 2019 in 2 shifts. You will find a detailed report of this project in our next customer’s journal “schnittPunkte”.
