www.woodmizerasia.com - Sylvan Plyboard India Pvt Ltd. has added additional Wood-Mizer sawmills to continue optimising their timber production, which produces around 700m3 of timber daily.
Sylvan Plyboard in Kolkata has been a family timber business for around 65 years, and is continuing to grow. Now at around 1,500 employees across their various product divisions, the company processes approximately 700m3 of timber daily.
The company’s manufacturing operation is divided into two parts - the log peeling and plywood side of the company and then the solid wood side, which produces timber for sale through their dealer network across India.
Although traditional bandsaws are used throughout the production area, over the past several years more and more machinery utilising thin-kerf bandsaw blades have appeared and been incorporated into the production process. Due to the age and mix of machines used previously, a decision was made gradually to modernise the section.
The first two Wood-Mizer machines implemented were a WM3500 industrial sawmill and an LT15 sawmill with a 15-metre cutting length capacity.
