The Salvador Superpush 200 optimising automatic cross-cut system, supplied by Daltons Wadkin, is being employed at the mill to cut timber for various sectors, including pallet manufacturing.

The company’s cross-cut features a 5200mm infeed capacity, twin side aligners/pushers, a 250mm-wide pusher plate, 7.5kW saw motor, gravity pre-loading and a maximum 150mm cutting depth.

Pontrilas said the Salvador unit had exceeded its targets and increased production capacity and quality.

Daltons Wadkin has also supplied its seventh Elcon vertical panel saw to Lawsons (Whetstone) Ltd.

Lawsons’ latest purchase was an Elcon 155DS Limpio for its Camden depot, featuring a dust extraction system to remove waste from in front and behind the material. Other Elcons are in use at Whetstone, Colney Heath, Salford and Coulsden.

Daltons Wadkins has also supplied Stenner band resaws to the merchant.
