LUMIN invests in new Raute Green Veneer Composing Line R7

 Thursday, March 2, 2023

Lumin, Uruguay has decided to invest in the new Raute Green Veneer Composing Line R7. The line will be installed as an in-line solution into a non-Raute brand peeling line and will be used to combine green veneer sheets to handle full sheets instead of randoms. This will be the first new generation Green Veneer Composing Line R7 to be delivered in Latin America. The line will be delivered by the end of 2023.

With the green veneer composing line, LUMIN is expecting to maximize the utilization of raw material, improve overall recovery, save manpower, and increase drying process efficiency.

“In this new project, Raute and LUMIN did together a raw material test at the mill before ordering the equipment. This was an excellent opportunity to know better the behavior of the local raw material at the composer and also at the drying process”, says Ricardo Inciarte, COO of LUMIN.

Raute is focused on creating value in forest assets. We believe in a future where resource-efficient and optimally connected production enables a smarter use of wood. A future where veneer, plywood and LVL are the key materials in building, furniture and packaging, among other applications.
