Operations
Sawing and resawing
Saw blades and cutting speed are adjusted to the nature, hardness and moisture content of the wood. Thanks to our two state-of-the-art sawing machines, including the new Twin-Stenner with double band saw, we are able to perform various customized sawing jobs quickly and accurately, and guarantee excellent quality.
Planing
Thanks to a 9-axis four-sided planer, we are able to produce complex profiles effortlessly. For planing heavy lumber, we invested in a modern and powerful short planer with floating spindles. A potent machine that can process packs of wood with falling widths effortlessly.
End finishing
Callens African Woods invested in a high-tech endmatcher that performs various end operations in a continuous cycle. Suitable for end grooving decking boards and facade planks. Various types of profiles are sawn on demand. We deliver the semi-finished products, so that you as a customer save on time, work and costs.
Thermal treatment
Through thermal treatment, we modify African wood species with a durability class of 4, such as Ayous or Fraké, and achieve a higher durability class.
With this process, we meet the demand to provide an environmentally friendly alternative.
Crosscutting
Crosscutting involves sawing the wood in the width direction, perpendicular to the grain. An advanced crosscut saw allows us to efficiently and quickly trim full bundles to the desired length. Precisely crosscutting to a specific length is also possible.
Finger jointed and laminated wood
We have a large stock of semi-finished products in various shapes and wood species. Frequently requested types are the solid finger-joined SAPELLI, SIPO and IROKO products under the KOMO product certificate.
We also supply products such as KKK (finger-joined-glued wood) and DKD (laminated wood). Semi-finished products that guarantee top quality with minimal material loss during processing.
