The core maker machine operates at a maximum speed of 160 m/min and can produce up to 55 cores per minute in 1, 2, or 3-strip configurations, with a width ranging from 60 to 100 mm. Blade feed is driven by a linear motor with motorized blade, and core length is controlled via the HMI panel.

The 4-lanes log saw represents the highest technological standard on the market: log diameters from 90 to 240 mm with a maximum operating speed of 240 cuts/min and universal clamps. Independent motorization for each lane, shuttle trim removal driven by a linear motor, blade sharpening adjustment and blade lubrication on the rotating arm programmable via the control panel.
