Timber Products, the Oregon-based plywood producer, with 1200 employees, has invested in a state-of-the-art Panel Repair System from Argos Solutions that will be installed in their production facility in Grants Pass, April 2024.
This specific PRS system ordered by Timber is the ARGOS PRS Compact with two workstations capable of repairing up to 675 panels per hours. The compact system performs multiple operations like routing, applying water base putty in small opening and injecting liquid polyurethane, all in the same system. One standout feature of this system is its continuous panel repair capability. With panels being scanned and repaired simultaneously, there is no downtime in the repair process. This ensures maximum productivity. The system is also equipped with the world renowned ARGOS high-precision Scanner system (automated grading) that can detect defects in wood as small as 0.8 mm ( 1/32”).
Richard Lepine, General Manager of Argos Solutions North America, said: “Timber Products has made a smart investment that will benefit their production in several ways. The Argos repair system is very versatile and can handle several wood species from your typical softwood plywood to more complex hardwood plywood face veneer. For the smaller capacity production facility that wants the highest operation flexibility, the ARGOS Compact PRS is the best solution on the market, and this is why Timber decided to choose the ARGOS Solution for their Panel Repair Line project”.
Argos Solutions core business is engineering, design, and manufacture of Surface Grading Systems and Panel Repair Systems for the wood panel and building industry worldwide.
