FINLAND – Three months into 2022, Raute has already sold three units of Plywood Lay-up Line R3.

Two units to a customer in Java, Indonesia, and another unit to New Zealand. The delivery of the equipment will take place in Q4 of 2022.

“With the rising glue cost around the world, producers are now looking to minimize glue consumption for better profits in their plywood business. Raute has developed the perfect solution to tackle this specific issue with the Plywood Lay-up Line R3.

The One-sided Gluing technology used in this efficient line ensures optimum glue and labor savings, resulting in fast payback time. We have already booked three orders for the Plywood Lay-up Line R3 two months into the year, and many more in the pipeline with customers all around Asia.” Says Mr. Shawn Cheo, President of Raute Singapore.

Raute Plywood Lay-up Line R3 is a lay-up line with a low installed power need. The one-sided liquid extruder gluing method decreases glue consumption up to 20% compared to traditional roller gluing. It is also gentle and does not break thinner sheets.
