One of the leading saw mill operators in New Zealand installed a new WEINIG GROUP cutting line in the first quarter of last year and recently invited our people back for another visit to see his prized machines in full operation.

One Scanner & Two OptiCut 450 Crosscut Saws
The cutting line consists of a DIMTER system solution with a scanner and a high-performance double line with two OptiCut 450 Quantums working reliably to ensure cross-cutting of finger jointing materials at optimum speeds.

The dependable waste disposal solution was a decisive factor in the company's selection, because the subsequent finger jointing line needed to be fed without exhaustive visual checks being carried out on the materials.

Waste gate ensures safe operation
The patented waste gate is the only way to ensure reliable waste separation without sacrificing performance; the gate discharges waste generated by the production process directly at the saw, not off the sorting belt.

Naturally, the cutting speed also plays a vital role. In production, an average of 20 cuts are made per board, which means that the cutting time is a crucial aspect of a machine's performance.

This is where the OptiCut 450 Quantum really comes into its own, with record-breaking saw stroke speeds. This combination has allowed the customer to achieve production of 98,500 lineal feet per shift, with an average workpiece length of under 8 inches for the finger jointing line.

Promised performance delivered every day
The customer was completely impressed by the expertise of the WEINIG GROUP and, more precisely, the DIMTER optimization specialists from Illertissen, Germany. He was thrilled by the fact that the performance data is more than just a claim made in black and white, but is the reality he witnesses day in, day out.
