Wood Reception and Handling: A Critical Step at SJBS
Wood Reception Designed for Quality
At SJBS, wood reception is a fundamental stage in the processing workflow. From the moment it arrives on site, each batch is handled with precision and care to ensure the quality of subsequent operations: drying, steaming, high-temperature treatment, or NIMP15 treatment.
This attention from the very first handling step ensures consistent performance and reliability throughout the entire production chain.
BALZ Semi-Automatic Vacuum Lifter: Efficiency and Safety
To ensure precise and ergonomic handling, SJBS is equipped with a BALZ semi-automatic vacuum lifter dedicated to reception operations.
This equipment enables:
- safe handling of timber,
- visual inspection before and after drying,
- precise measurement of timber,
- significant reduction in physical strain.
Fast and Controlled Stickering and Destickering
The BALZ system also allows for quick and efficient stickering and destickering before and after:
- kiln drying,
- high-temperature treatment,
- or other thermal processes.
This smooth handling contributes to efficient organization and strict adherence to production cycles.
Perfect Stickering for Successful Drying and Treatment
At SJBS, special attention is given to stickering. Accurate and consistent stacking is essential to:
- ensure proper air circulation,
- guarantee uniform drying,
- optimize the efficiency of high-temperature treatment,
- preserve quality and
- prevent cracking.
- Poor stickering can compromise the entire process, which is why this step receives constant attention from our teams.
