Thickness 20 mm – 80 mm
Processing trunks
The trunks processing division is located at the Molfetta depot.
The unit is equipped with a bandsaw with 1600 mm flywheels, with a trimming machine and with a dual-shaft multi-blade, capable of cutting up to 150 mm thickness.
The unit is capable of producing timber and beams measuring up to 10 m long, transforming up to 40 m3 of trunks per day. This production capacity is applied for producing specific customised products, based on the customer’s requirements.
Processing structural elements
At our Imola production factory, approved by “Servizio Tecnico Centrale” (Central Technical Service) as a wood structural Elements Processing Centre, we – at Imola Legno – are capable of producing semi-finished and prefabricated products for the wood construction industry.

At our Hundegger processing centre, we process beams with a maximum cross-section of 300×1200 mm, with maximum length of 16.50 m.
Production of heating pellets
Residues from processing virgin wood (sawdust and chips) are collected by means of suctioning and kept in special silos. Using the production unit located in the Lugo branch, sawdust and chips are compressed at high pressure and extruded to obtain wood pellets for heating.
Our pellets are approved under the following certificates:
PelletGold (N° 12/08)
