Hundegger Saw in Action

Efficiency and waste reduction are both key elements of running a successful manufacturing operation, particularly when it comes to timber frame production. There’s only so far great processes can take you without the right equipment for a growing business without investment in faster and better equipment.

Scotts Timber Engineering continues to buck trends in the sector and we are experiencing volume growth as a result of our approach. Our decision last year to upgrade the machinery we depend on in the factory to improve productivity is paying dividends.

Our additional, new Hundegger Turbo-Drive 450 saw is a high performance cutting machine that cuts three times as much timber in a day as some of the equipment it replaced and helps our teams optimise cutting lists and reduce offcut wastage dramatically, every day.

Process Manager Roxanne Newton ran the project that planned and oversaw the delivery and installation of the new saw at our Northamptonshire factory in February as well as the integration with our operational systems. “Changing such a fundamental piece of equipment was a big project with lots of moving parts,” she explained when asked about the challenges. “However, our team see the benefits every day.”
