Derome grades according to official standards

«Previously we sorted stress grading with equipment that assessed the whole piece. With Goldeneye we can determine the stress grading per section of the piece. This allows us to remove the inferior parts and piece together the rest of prime products», states Mr. Per Andersson, Head of Production at Derome Timber.

Goldeneye 700 scanner grades according standards

At the beginning of 2015 a new Multi-Sensor Quality Scanner Goldeneye 700 with X-ray was integrated in the Dimter chopping line at Derome Timber, Vedigge, Sveden. This scanner performs strength grading according to official standards at highest feeding speed rates. The X-ray based scanner recognizes the position of defects and transfers all the data to the subsequent evaluation units. The use of X-ray technology provides always correct grading results and a constant quality, leading to an up valuation of lumber. 

M3 Scan, the accurate moisture meter works without contact at highest feeding rates, regardless of the wood species and the ambient conditions. The data evaluation software developed by Microtec grants the highest added value respecting individual quality grades and specific configurations of the machine.

Wide products range

The product range includes construction wood, finger jointed timber, pressure treated as well as primed and untreated external panelling are only a few examples for products that are kept in stock.

Moisture Meter

The results of the M3 Scan Moisture Meter measurements are always accurate, timely and highly efficient for the whole grading process while automatically compensating density and dimension. Open interfaces ease the communication to following systems.

Curvescan

Curvescan 3D Board Shape Scanner is an additional Microtec solution integrated in this project which is highly compatible with the Goldeneye. Curvescan Shape Scanner detects twist, bow, spring and cup by a computation based on laser triangulation at constant feeding speed. Curvescan has a wide application range as it can be easily integrated into high-performance sawmills.

Derome Timber AB

Derome Timber has a long tradition in woodworking and invests a great amount in new sawmill technology on three different sites, Veddige, Anneberg and Kinnared, to increase the productivity of its sawmills. It is their aim to increase yield for each log to provide to the customers competitive products, produced with highest technological solutions.
