Motor Control Solutions for Sawmilling & Wood Products

The sawmilling and wood products industry demands reliable, efficient motor control for a wide range of machinery, from bandsaws and circular saws to debarkers, chippers, and edgers. AuCom offers a full range of motor control solutions — including soft starters, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and motor protection devices — designed to optimise performance, protect equipment, and improve productivity across sawmilling operations.

Soft starters provide significant advantages for sawmilling equipment, including:

  • Smoother operation and protection for a variety of sawmilling machinery, including bandsaws, circular saws, debarkers, chippers, and edgers
  • Reduced start current to lessen the impact on often limited electrical supply
  • Gentle acceleration to prevent saw band stretch and misalignment, reducing downtime and improving plant output
