Influence of pine wood sawing technology on material efficiency indicators

Abstract

Influence of pine wood sawing technology on material efficiency indicatorsConiferous wood processing is one of the basic methods of using natural wood resources. The aim of the work was to determine the impact of the selection of wood cutting technology, which plays an important role in shaping the material indices, especially the volumetric efficiency index. In the case of pine wood processing, group and individual technologies were assessed.. The use of frame saws guarantees the achievement of repeated sorting’s with a quantitative efficiency rate of 69%. The introduction of individual technology based on band saws results in an increase in quantitative sawing efficiency to 72%. The selection of processing technology and the dimensional structure of processed roundwood have a significant impact on the average sawing rate.
