Springer replaced the existing grading line for side boards at HILO in Losheim, Germany, with a new state-of-the-art lumber line. In order to be able to install the new grading line with two decks, a trimmer line and a new Springer positioning fence in time, the lumber sorter downstream was recently modified by Springer.
For the entire upgrade of the plant, starting with the disassembly of the old plant up to the commissioning of the new one, Springer had only a window of 22 days. To ensure that the plant could be assembled on time, entire sections of the line were pre-assembled outdoors next to the production building. Already during the construction phase, care was taken to ensure that individual sections and the respective machines could be easily brought into the production building by a mobile crane. After the successful performance test, the plant was accepted by HILO in due time.
