Considerable investment activities are presently recognised mainly in Europe", reports planning engineer DI (FH) Walter Pertschy of the company LINCK, Oberkirch/Germany, during the trade fair in Klagenfurt/Carinthia from August 31 to September 3, 2006.

„There is a great demand for chipper canter lines allowing to process a wider diameter range, from small diameter to large diameter logs. This development is surely influenced by the present round log marketing. Such sawmills are in the position to take every dimension from the forest”, explains Pertschy.

„The optimising possibilities which Linck-lines offer – from log handling through lumber sorting – allow the economical processing of a larger diameter range. Special aligning systems and flexible tool setting make it possible to produce a wider scope of lumber.” The main products are profiling- and reducer lines, round log handling and board edgers as well as switch- and control plants with software.

„The technical availability of profiling lines is very important and Linck sawlines achieve high values here”, Pertschy declares.

During the trade fair in Klagefurt, Linck presented cutterheads for chipper canters having been developed for different tools, i.e. the stepped cutterhead SMK for chipper canters of model VM and for a feed speed up to 180 m/min. Each cutterhead step can take up to six chipper knives in the circumference.

Golden times for the by-products. „The increased prices for by-products make it easier for sawmill owners to choose the cutting tools”, Pertschy reports. The cutterheads can be equipped with saw segments, saw rings and dressing knives.

Assembly and start-up. The first profiling line being able to process logs with a maximum diameter of 65 cm is presently being installed at the company Offner, Wolfsberg/Austria.

The profiling line of the company Howie, Dalbeattie/Great Britain, was already taken into operation.

A reducer circular saw line with board edger was installed at Künzel, Issigau/Germany for processing 200.000 m³ round logs per year.

The V40 profiling line for the Russian site of Mayr-Melnhof will be supplied beginning of next year. Presently the sawline for the company Pieper Holz, Assinghausen/Germany is being handled. After a fire in its old mill, Pieper decided to install a profiling line.

Start-up is presently taking place at Finkbeiner, Triberg/Germany. The main machines of the sawline processing log lengths from 2,50 up to 12,50 m and producing constructional timber were replaced by new, more efficient ones.

Sun in the Swiss mountains. The project work for the new sawmill of Stallinger,Switzerland is presently in full play in the supplier's factory in Oberkirch/Germany. A profiling line VM 50 for log diameters of up to 65 cm will be supplied.

Furthermore the company Berger, Steffisburg/Switzerland, installed a KCSU line for processing log lengths from 3,00 to 12,00 m and for the production of constructional timber which replaces the old gangsaw line. It is possible to process up to 40.000 m³ round logs/year.

At the sawmill Wyss, Büron/Switzerland, a chipper canter-circular saw machine combination with merry-go-round system was taken into operation, designed for log lengths from 3,00 to 6,00 m and a capacity of 50.000 m³ round logs/year.
