HewSaw is once again revolutionizing the primary breakdown sector of the sawmill industry with the introduction of their latest technology - dx sawing . Aimed at maximizing speed , recovery , efficiency and throughput , dx sawing will be a game changer for many sawmills .
With HewSaw ’ s dx sawing , the saws are cutting through the cant in two stages instead of one , allowing for a substantially reduced depth of cut with each saw . For sawmills using this technology , this can result in higher feed speeds with smaller diameter saws and thinner kerfs .
• more production volume in a shift
• higher recovery or yield from each log
• the possibility to run for longer periods before saw and knife changes
• improved surface quality and exceptional saw deviation
• lower hp motors can be used resulting in reduced power requirements
HewSaw is the only primary breakdown producer that can offer this technology and the concept and technology are patent pending worldwide .
