We have supplied equipment for several timber companies.
Like many companies in various activity sectors, the players in the timber industry have significant needs in terms of industrial handling. Depending on their specific activity (wood waste processing, paper pulp production, wooden furniture manufacturing etc.), companies working in the timber sector need to equip themselves with appropriate conveyor solutions to ensure safe, optimum transport for their products.
Specialising in building industrial conveyors for over 35 years, the family firm Benne SA offers its expertise in industrial handling to design custom conveyors for the timber industry.
How should you choose the right timber conveyor for your company?
Companies in the timber industry are faced with complex problems in terms of how to handle their products. Even if it undergoes multiple conversion processes and is not always transported in its raw state, timber remains a heavy material. This leads to significant logistical constraints that can affect the company’s productivity. Installing a suitable conveyor for transporting wood gives players in the timber sector a conveying solution that can satisfy these constraints.
To choose a timber conveyor that suits your needs, several criteria have to be taken into account:
- The type of product transported, which determines which type of conveyor to use (belt, roller or chain)
- The load to be carried, to ensure the conveyor is robust enough
- The configuration of your production space, so that the timber conveyor can be adapted accordingly (adding straight or curved segments depending on your logistical and spatial constraints)
If these criteria are respected, you can clearly define your industrial conveyor project to ensure it meets your timber transport needs in full.
Benne SA, the specialist in designing conveyors for the timber industry
To design our conveyors suited to the timber sector, we draw on the various industrial conveyors in our standard range (belt, roller or chain conveyors) and then adapt them to suit your logistical constraints and industrial objectives.
Our conveyors for the timber industry are custom-made in our workshops by qualified technicians. To design timber conveyors that correspond fully to your needs, we first produce a 3D model of your future industrial conveyor, taking all your requests into account, no matter how specific. We then carry out all the configuration necessary to ensure the timber conveyor satisfies all your specifications.
Drawing on the combined expertise of our drawing office for the design and our experienced technicians for the production of your timber conveyor, we can achieve the three objectives we see as most important when producing an industrial conveyor:
- Adaptability
- Reliability
- Safety
This design method has enabled us to complete large-scale conveyor projects for the timber industry:
- Conveyors for transporting wooden boards
- Conveyor system for transporting wooden pallets from A to B
