Processing and Processes

The purpose of the activities is to develop technologies and methods so that the sawmill and wood industry can produce and refine their products in a cost effective manner.

In all wood mechanical industrial raw materials represent the dominant share of the costs. A key issue is to exploit the raw material in that it generates the maximum possible benefit through a judicious balance between the main products and by-products, by minimizing the cost of quality deficiencies and by limiting the amount of non-salable products.
