New for 2024, the Timber Processing & Energy Expo will host a morning session on current panel manufacturing best practices and industry trends, Thursday, September 26.
With speakers continuing to be added, confirmed presentations include George Harmati from Westmill and Connor Easton from Raute.
In his talk, “Modernizing the Plywood and LVL Industry,” Connor Easton with Raute leads off the morning. Modernization in the plywood and LVL industry is now widely considered essential in order to stay competitive in the market.
The growing shortage of labour coupled with increasing wages and insurance premiums necessitate mills to turn to automation in order to meet their output, efficiency and budgetary goals. Raute, a global manufacturer of veneer, plywood and LVL solutions, has responded to the need by offering a greater range of automated equipment that solves these pressure points and more.
He’ll share performance features of several automated lines as well as real statistics from clients who have modernized their mills.
