Leading timber supplier Premier Forest Products has made a major investment in machinery to increase production and extend its product range. The state-of-the-art, market leading machinery, which was installed earlier this year, has already doubled the production capacity at the company’s manufacturing sites in Cornwall and Pembrokeshire, the UK.
Premier Forest Products has invested over GBP 1 million ($1.26 million) in equipment across the business, including its Duchy Timber and Merlwood Timber branches. The new machinery, supplied by global specialists Weinig, includes a Powermat 1500 moulding machine which can cut widths up to 300mm, and a Powermat 700 moulding machine. Holzher Edgebander
The machines are entirely flexible and can be used to make most timber mouldings including, cladding profiles, skirtings, architraves, door frames, stair components, and door liners in both hardwood and soft wood.
The company has purchased the Rondamat 960 grinder/profiling machine which makes templates for profiles so they can create bespoke profiles for customers. Once the template is made, it can be used repeatedly to make precisely the same profile which is ideal for continuity in large projects, where the same product is to be supplied frequently over time.
Premier Forest has also invested in an Opticontrol measuring stand which is used to accurately measure the tool cutters and a Unicut P3 crosscut saw which has more than doubled Premier’s capacity to accurately crosscut timbers to length.
