Improve 30% efficiency! SL-370 wood log peeling machine helps Chile timber mill

This client operates a typical family-owned timber processing plant in southern Chile, primarily supplying construction lumber and custom furniture materials to the domestic market and surrounding regions. Like many peers in the industry, the client faces several core challenges:

• Raw materials originate from diverse forestlands, with log diameters ranging from over ten centimeters to thirty centimeters, resulting in complex specifications.
• Traditional manual debarking methods proved costly, inefficient, and produced inconsistent quality, negatively impacting the market value of subsequent lumber cuts.
• The factory lacked engineers, making maintenance of complex equipment a significant concern.

This Chilean client required a wood log peeling machine that was reasonably priced, adaptable, easy to operate, and backed by reliable after-sales support. He needed assurance that this investment would deliver tangible returns in the short term.
