SYSTEM ELIMINATES BOTTLENECK
KALLFASS RESTACKING
The first joint project between Kallfass and Robeta Holz has been successfully completed
The mechanisation specialist Kallfass was able to successfully commission the first system at Robeta Holz in Milmersdorf, Germany, at the beginning of January. What was initially planned as a more straightforward restacking plant for dried- sawn timber has become a real gem, which has eliminated a production bottleneck at Robeta Holz. “Previously, we also had to re-sort and stack the dry goods at our sorting plant,” said Christian Rockel, production manager at Robeta Holz. “Since the demand for dry goods has risen steadily, re-sorting was only possible with considerable extra hours – sometimes the system also ran on Saturdays or we started on Sunday evening.”
This bottleneck had to be removed and so those responsible for the sawmill in Uckermark, Germany, approached Kallfass, Baiersbronn-Klosterreichenbach, Germany, to make enquiries.
“Kallfass has a very good name in the industry,” said Mr Rockel. “We have also been approached by pallet manufacturers who said: ‘If you cut the sawn timber with a Kallfass system, then we’ll buy from you’,” he said. He is referring to the reputation of high accuracy of the mechanisation specialist’s multiple cross-cut saw.
COMPLETE PACKAGE “Originally, a smaller restacking system was envisaged,” recalled Kallfass project manager Enrico Goldhahn. “However, during the discussion it turned out that Robeta wanted to be more flexible and we ultimately delivered a fully comprehensive system with some technical refinements.”

Among other things, Robeta Holz also paid attention to ergonomics: All system components are easily accessible and the walkways are particularly wide. This results in the best working conditions for the employees.
