Efficient sorting of bars - innovation and experience for sawmills of all sizes

Holtec bar sorting lines have been continuously developed and refined over the past decades. Through close collaboration with our customers, we have been able to create new solutions and optimise existing systems continuously.

With innovative technologies such as the Chainless system for efficient log separation as well as the LogRunner for log acceleration and gap optimisation, we are setting new standards for both small and large-scale systems.

Thanks to over 50 years of experience, ranging from small family-run businesses to international corporations, we offer a broad product portfolio for sawmills of all sizes. In particular, our individual designs, precisely tailored to the respective application, make Holtec a reliable partner for customised solutions for bar sorting lines.
