Wood & sawmill technology
Material flow solutions
For new mills as well as for extending and modernising existing plants: we connect process steps into one continuous flow.
01Performance
What it does.
Finding bottlenecks
We analyse where material waits, jams or is moved twice.
Planning the layout
Machines, routes and buffers in a layout that also allows future expansion.
Surveying what exists
Using 3D laser scanning we capture halls, steelwork and conveyors as the basis for planning.
Using residues
Offcuts, slabs, shavings and dust are collected, shredded and put to use.
Modernising during operation
Planning conversions so that production is interrupted as little as possible.
- 3D laser scanning of halls, silos and steelwork
- CE review of linked plants
- Installation and commissioning

Partner technology
Planned across manufacturers.
No single manufacturer takes centre stage here: Vecotrade plans and coordinates – with our partners' machines, existing equipment and other suppliers.

Describe your material, goal and constraints – we will get back to you with a first assessment. Your enquiry is already pre-filled with this technology.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
01Where does material flow planning start?
With a survey: which quantities, which routes, which bottlenecks. On request we measure the hall by 3D laser scan – so the plan matches the real installation situation.
02Do you plan across manufacturers?
Yes. We integrate our partners' machines as well as existing machines and other suppliers, for example for belt dryers, drying chambers or pellet mills.
03What does linking machines mean for CE marking?
When machines are linked into a plant, a safety assessment of the whole may be required. Our CE consulting checks this from the start.
