SAATECH Partners

Saatech Systems Pty Ltd have represented SawQuip International Inc. in Australia since Nov 2004. Since Dec 2005 Saatech Systems have also representatived SawQuip International in New Zealand.

Based in Québec, SawQuip operates out of a 35,000sqf facility. Their manufacturing focus is on high-speed, high-efficiency canter twin and quad thin-kerf circular sawing systems for logs, and curve following canters and canter-profilers and subsequent curve sawing flitch resaws. SawQuip have successfully developed and marketed their highly innovative CCO infeed, optimiser-controlled log infeed system. Functionally equivalent to the best DLI systems, but without the headaches, the physical size, complexity or cost, the CCO - Continuously Controlled Orientation - infeed has proven an outstanding success. With 4 CCO infeed systems now installed, customers are becoming accustomed to the mechanical simplicity, ease of cleaning and maintenance afforded by the chainless conveying system, and the major sawn recovery uplifts that are evident.

The CCO will be of particular interest to those larger Australian pine sawmills who are still using their Kockums 447 style self-centering log infeeds.
