MASS TIMBER

In the Mass Timber industry, extraction systems have to meet the toughest demands. Enormous volumes of dust and chips are generated, combined with multi-shift operation and high processing speeds. Even under these extreme loads, reliable and continuous operation is essential.

Thanks to decades of experience in this sector and long-lasting partnerships with leading machine manufacturers of our affiliated company Scheuch LIGNO, we are able to provide the right solution for every challenge. Our deep industry knowledge makes the integration of our extraction systems into any production seamless. Many leading companies and market leaders in the Mass Timber sector rely on our innovative extraction systems to ensure maximum productivity at all times.

Our team from Scheuch LIGNO is happy to help you with any questions:

Sawmill

We provide customized extraction solutions for sawing lines, ensuring reliable compliance with dust limit values and efficient dedusting of entire sawing lines, reducing maintenance, fire risk, and health hazards. With return air below 0.1 mg/nm³, systems guarantee a safe, clean, and optimized hall climate year-round.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT)

We have been a trusted partner in CLT production from the very beginning, supplying the first extraction systems to its inventor. Our robust, energy-efficient solutions ensure precise monitoring, reliable dust extraction, and optimized energy use. Designed for continuous operation, they deliver maximum reliability, safety, and near 100% availability for fault-free production around the clock.

Glue-laminated Timber

Glued-laminated timber (glulam/GLT) is made from finger-jointed slats that are glued and planed in layers for exceptional strength and dimensional stability. Produced from spruce, fir, pine, Douglas fir, or larch, its manufacturing requires speed and cleanliness due to extensive gluing. Our extraction systems ensure dust-free surfaces, consistent gluing quality, and lower post-processing costs.

Solid structural timber (SST)

Solid structural timber refers to planed and dried solid wood, typically produced from spruce, larch, fir, Douglas fir, or pine. With speed as a key production factor,

Scheuch LIGNO extraction systems deliver above-average availability even under high loads with large material volumes. This ensures reliable performance and a clear competitive advantage.

Scheuch baghouse technology

DUST FILTRATION

Process Filters

Scheuch’s innovative air pollution control (APC) technology has found its place in a variety of applications across the globe. Our global subsidiaries allow us to meet our client’s clean air requirements through every step of the manufacturing process. Product scope extends from baghouse dust collectors to exhaust gas cooling and waste heat utilization.


Scheuch SMC Impulse Filter

DUST FILTRATION

Nuisance Filters

Because of their large-volume valves and patented Impulse cleaning system, the Compact Impulse Filter model stands out with its low operating and maintenance costs. In addition, the compressed air cleaning system, the filter bag, or cage design ensures the highest levels of operating reliability.


Scheuch hot gas filter

DUST FILTRATION

Hot-Gas Filter

Scheuch’s Hot-Gas Filter is the future of exhaust gas cleaning and dust control. This model can really take the heat. One of the many advantages is the high-temperature resistance of the ceramic (candle) filter elements. While conventional bag filters with fabric media reach their limits at process temperatures of 500° F (260° C), for hot-gas filters and their ceramic filter elements, even 932° F (500° C) is not a problem.


Scheuch dry sorption technology

EXHAUST GAS CLEANING

Dry Sorption

Scheuch specializes in providing customized solutions for each individual application to ensure the best combination of low investment costs and minimal operating expenses. Scheuch dry sorption technologies can be used to reduce acidic pollutants (HF, HCL, and SOx) by utilizing additives made of calcium or sodium.


Scheuch heat recovery and condensation technology

HEAT EXCHANGERS and COOLING SYSTEMS

Waste Heat Utilization

Systems for utilizing waste heat with local and district heat enable the most efficient and profitable use of recovered energy. Scheuch developed the Energy Recovery & Cleaning System (ERCS) that maximizes waste heat utilization for boiler outputs of up to 200 MW using condensers and economizers.


Scheuch gas conditioning tower

HEAT EXCHANGERS and COOLING SYSTEMS

Gas Conditioning Tower

When performing exhaust gas cleaning, the exhaust gas needs to be cooled down prior to starting the cleaning process. Scheuch’s gas conditioning towers provide exceptional efficiency due to their optimal instrument-based design and layout combined with adapted controls.


Scheuch swing out fan

FANS

Radial Fans

Scheuch has built more than 70,000 industrial-grade radial fans to transport clean or exhaust air, chips, and fibrous material as well as explosive gas mixtures. Over the years, we have created and perfected a comprehensive program of roughly 1,700 fan types. These have pressure ranges from 750 Pa (4 in WC) to 30,000 Pa (80 in WC) and volume flows from 750 to 960,000 Am³/h (300 to 380,000 acfm).


Scheuch rotary valve airlock

BULK MATERIAL HANDLING

Rotary Valves

Rotary valves are used to discharge dust, chipboard shavings, and fibrous conveyed goods. They can also be used as shut-off devices. Scheuch rotary valves can also be designed to be resistant to ignition and flame penetration for explosion decoupling purposes.


Scheuch screw conveyor components

BULK MATERIAL HANDLING

Screw Conveyors

Tube and trough-type screw conveyors are used to continuously transport bulk materials at throughput volumes of 2 to 500 m³/h and with diameters between 8 and 40 inches (200 and 1,000 mm). Model types of screw conveyors include pipe, trough, and custom design.


Scheuch Pendulum Flap Valve

BULK MATERIAL HANDLING

Pendulum Flaps

Pendulum flaps are used for the continuous dosing, blocking, and discharging of bulk materials. The flexible structure of the Scheuch pendulum flaps enables reliable channeling and separation of free-flowing bulk materials out of and into pressure-difference chambers (e.g., filter systems). These are actuated pneumatically, electrically, or mechanically.
