What is a planing mill?
A planing mill is a production facility that specializes in the manufacture of planed wood products. Here, planed wood products such as boards, beams, profiled timber and other wood formats are produced by processing pieces of wood using planing machines. These machines smooth and shape the wood until the desired dimensions and surface structures are achieved. Planing mills are an integral part of the woodworking industry, as they supply high-quality wood products for various applications, from construction to facade and flooring production.
Planed goods defined
Planed products are wood products, such as profiled timber, that have been processed by planing. These products are typically used for various construction and craft projects and can come in different shapes and sizes depending on the requirements of the project. Basically, planing is a fundamental process in woodworking where wood surfaces are smoothened and brought to precise dimensions. The way a planer works is quite simple: the workpiece is guided along a flat surface while a rotating cutting blade - the plane - removes wood chips to create a flat and smooth or profiled surface. Depending on requirements, different plane irons can be used to carve differently profiled surfaces and patterns into the wood.
There are different types of planers, including hand planers and electric planers. Hand planers are manually guided over the wood and require a certain amount of skill and strength from the operator to achieve consistent results. Electric planers, on the other hand, use a motor to drive the planing blade, which speeds up the process considerably.
The most important properties of planed products are
- Smooth surface
- Precise dimensions
- Suitable for a wide range of applications
- High quality and durability
- Aesthetically pleasing appearance
Planing mill wood from Hirschbach - our range
We process a variety of high-quality wood products in our planing mill, specifically for the needs of our customers. These are some of the most popular products from our range:
- Boards: A large number of boards are produced from the main and side boards cut at the Hirschbach sawmill. These are further processed in our planing mill and thus smoothed, planed or profiled and finished. Boards are versatile and can be used in numerous construction projects. They are available from us in fir, Douglas fir, larch and spruce.
- Floorboards / planks: Our solid wood planks and boards are precisely planed and can be manufactured in standard dimensions or according to individual measurements. They are ideal for flooring, decking and other timber constructions. Planing gives them an attractive surface that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
- Glued laminated timber slats: These slats are used for load-bearing constructions where a high load-bearing capacity is required.
- Wood shavings: We also offer wood shavings as a by-product of our planing processes. These are made from high-quality wood and are ideal as bedding for animal stables, as a material for composting or as an ecological packaging material. Our wood shavings are clean and dry and meet the highest requirements in agriculture, horticulture and other areas.
