Bark of poplar

Debarking

This first stage aims to strip the saw-log of its bark, using a system of metal arms fitted with knives. The debarked saw-logs will then be introduced to the production line for processing.

Slicing

The saw-log will then be cut. Depending on the quality of the foot, one part will be used in peeled veneer ; the other part will be headed for sawing.

Sawing

The "head saw" cuts the non-peelable logs into boards to be used in the "board edger" which, in turn, cuts them into brackets.

Rotary Cutting

This is to cut the logs that from the chainsaw into battens. These will then be fed into the machinery used for making the "side", "end" and "base" packaging items.

Assembly

When the different items have been made, the slats and brackets are assembled and attached to create the packaging to dimensions defined by the clients' requirements.
