The Garnica Group chose Raute’s Block Centering Analyzer R7 to update their mill’s log centering technology.

Garnica Group upgraded to block centering analyzer with autocalibration

The Garnica Group is the biggest poplar plywood producer in Europe and they have been using Raute solutions for many years, including a Raute peeling line at their Valencia de Don Juan mill. Installed in 2003, the block centering technology at the Valencia de Don Juan mill was finally in need of an update. Garnica selected Raute’s Block Centering Analyzer R7 (previously Smart Scan HD) as the best option.
