With the development of the layer by layer system, Maschinenbau Kallfass has developed a breakthrough in timber processing.
With this method, patented by Kallfass, it is possible to crosscut up to 14 layers of timber per minute with an accuracy up to 1 millimetre.

As can be seen with 12 pieces to each layer and 14 layers per minute, this equipment is capable of crosscutting 168 pieces per minute.

Originally this system was developed for high production sawmills, such as Chipper Canter lines, with very high capacities. Now, however, this equipment is also being installed more and more as part of planer lines running at speeds in excess of 120 metres per minute.
