Belwood

Belwood is Belgium’s first and only small-diameter, softwood sawmill. Every year, the company processes a good 200,000 m³ of logs. Belwood produces both high-quality, sawn and planed wood and distributes it all over Europe.

The challenge

  • Talk about a challenge! Wrapping wooden beams that are no less than 16 metres long is far from straightforward. And what’s more, everything has to be wrapped so it’s dry and free of dust.

Solution

  • Of course, we never back down from a challenge, on the contrary. So, we devised a customised solution, using the principle of horizontal wrapping. That is why we developed the FEB tunnel wrapper with a roller conveyor that we extended at both ends so that the beams could pass all the way through. The entire process of this tunnel wrapper is fully automated.

Result

  • Now the long wooden beams are easily wrapped in a waterproof and dustproof film. And load security is guaranteed.
