GENERO® – Precision bimetal band saw blade for efficient wood cutting

WIKUS presents for the first time band saw blade for wood cutting

WIKUS, Europe’s largest band saw blade manufacturer, is launching its first bi-metal precision band saw blade for woodworking. This innovative sawing tool, which has been developed and produced in Germany, is used in sawmills and wood processing companies all over the world.

The WIKUS-Sägenfabrik Wilhelm H. Kullmann GmbH & Co GmbH & Co. KG launches the new GENERO® precision bi-metal band saw blade for wood cutting. This robust sawing tool is suitable for both mobile and stationary sawmills and can be used on smaller log band saws and band resaws. Among other things, it enables logs to be sawn efficiently – even if foreign objects such as dirt or metal are present.

“With our state-of-the-art production facilities, we can manufacture not only products for metal cutting but also precision tools for woodworking,” explains Falko Klein, Business Development Manager at WIKUS. “Thanks to the saw teeth made of hardened high-speed steel, the band saw blade specially developed for timber and forestry operations can handle even hard types of wood with a high tannic acid and moisture content as well as wood with soiled bark or metal inclusions. Customers benefit in particular from our many years of experience in the metal industry.

The new robust GENERO® precision bi-metal band saw blade allows sawmills to efficiently cut hardwood and softwood – even with dirt or metal inclusions.

Increasing the efficiency of mobile and stationary sawmills with GENERO®

“GENERO® is a sawing innovation that further strengthens the potential of wood processing companies for slicing logs,” says Rolf Wiederhold, International Product Manager at WIKUS. “With our proven quality, we fulfill the customer’s wish for a band saw blade that delivers a considerable increase in performance and a longer service life compared with traditional tool steel products. This leads to fewer production interruptions and increases efficiency.

The GENERO® precision bi-metal band saw blade minimizes resin build-up and optimizes chip transport for high endurance properties. It guarantees a straight cutting channel and is available in various belt widths from 27 × 0.90 mm to 41 × 1.10 mm. Further dimensions are being planned.

Versatile sawing tool from WIKUS for all relevant types of wood

Whether hardwood (e.g., oak, ash, beech), frozen wood, or softwood (e.g., larch, spruce or pine): With GENERO® WIKUS provides sawmills with a new powerful and durable sawing tool. It is suitable for sawing logs into beams and boards as well as for sawn timber.

The advantages of GENERO® at a glance:

  • Excellent cutting surface thanks to the precise set of the teeth
  • Can be resharpened several times for cost-efficient use
  • High resistance to fatigue and torsional stresses
  • Optimized belt surface for smooth running and less wear
  • Saw band teeth made of HSS steel for a long service life and fewer band changes as well as resistance to soiling.
