As the demand for enhanced efficiency, sustainability, and product quality increases across the veneer, plywood, and LVL sectors, modernisation has shifted from being a “nice to have” to a critical strategic imperative. At Raute, they support everything from targeted upgrades to full-line modernizations—including non-Raute machinery. Whether it’s software, components, or entire machine lines, our goal is to boost one’s performance, reliability, and ROI.
Why modernise?
According to Raute, Modernisation extends equipment lifetime and helps professionals to:
From veneer peeling and drying to lay-up and pressing, Raute’s tailored solutions give new life to existing lines—often installable during just a two-week summer stop. Modernising one’s machinery is a true solution for sustainability – and it can be carried out within a two-week summer stoppage while installing a new line would take months. 10, 20, and even 30-year-old machines can still give you full value after modernisation with a lower pressure return on full investment.
By replacing components that are no longer available with new ones, the owner can rely on the spare part availability in the future and functioning machine still for the next 10 years. Also, the developed new features for the lines can be brought into use also in older technology lines. This usually leads to increased production efficiency or better raw material recovery. Unmodernised machines don’t follow the sustainability thinking where the machine should run as long as possible while keeping it in a good shape.
About Raute
Raute is solely dedicated in creating machines to transform wood into modern engineered wood products that people have come to rely on. Engineered wood products are manufactured by bonding together veneer, lumber, chips, or strands with adhesives to create composite wood products. Engineered wood products can be further categorised into two: mass timber products and wood-based panels.
Raute’s solutions are an essential part of the wood-processing value chain. Their current offering covers a full portfolio for veneer, plywood, and LVL production and selected solutions for solid wood panels. In addition, Raute has an offering for log handling their Metriguard analysers for the lumber sector as well. The compamy provide everything from mill-scale projects to individual production lines, machines, analysers, and software. Raute serves both greenfield and brownfield producers. In addition, they offer services worldwide to maintain one’s production machinery and to improve the production to future-proof the mill.
