Sawmilling & Wood Products

The sawmilling and wood products industry requires reliable and efficient motor control for a wide range of machinery, from bandsaws and circular saws to debarkers, chippers, and edgers. AuCom provides a full range of motor control solutions, including soft starters and variable frequency drives (VFDs), designed to optimise performance, protect equipment, and enhance 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
