Vollmer supplies sharpening tools and machines for improving woodworking support. Based in Wain, Holzwerk Baur saw mill have been using sharpening tools from Vollmer for years. Among other machines VOLLMER CHD 270 grinding machine for carbide-tipped circular saw blades, set up with an automated system to run around the clock.
“It is not just our family which has a long tradition of processing and finishing wood. The whole area around Wain is part of this tradition,” explains Frederik Baur, CEO of Holzwerk Baur. “The ‘Lords of Wain’ have been cutting down wood in the local forests for more than 500 years. We have set ourselves the goal of ensuring a long-term future for wood processing, which is why we source our wood exclusively from sustainable forestry.”
“The filing room at our saw mill contains VOLLMER sharpening machines from Biberach – some of which have been working here longer than I have!” says Hermann Baur, joint CEO of Holzwerk Baur. “The most recent success is a CHD 270 grinding machine for carbide-tipped circular saw blades, with an automated system which allows it to run around the clock, largely without manual intervention.”
Holzwerk Baur has 250 saws in operation every day, each of which needs to be resharpened after one and a half shifts. The VOLLMER CHD 270 is a grinding machine with eight CNC-controlled axes and measuring equipment able to machine carbide-tipped circular saw blades in a single set-up. It is able to sharpen even complex tooth geometries, including chip breaker grooves, chamfers on the precutting and finishing teeth, Braunschweig tooth or chip guide notch.
For Holzwerk Baur, the VOLLMER sharpening machines are the key to sustainable wood processing, which begins with stripping the bark from the logs when they arrive at the saw mill.
“Holzwerk Baur is an impressive example of how a modern German saw mill can operate successfully on an international level, and of the role VOLLMER sharpening technologies can play in this success,” says Jürgen Hauger, CEO of the VOLLMER group. “Our sharpening machines are used throughout the wood industry for machining circular saws, band saws and cutting tools, and are equally at home in saw mills and in the furniture construction or the steadily growing house construction sectors.”
