1. Why sanding wood surfaces is crucial

Sanding is one of the most important steps in wood processing — It determines the subsequent feel, quality and durability of the product.
With decades of experience in grinding technology, Heesemann develops systems that combine maximum precision with industrial efficiency.

Heesemann grinding machines stand for:

Consistent quality over large areas

Maximum material utilization through precise calibration

Perfect match between wood type, abrasive and aggregate

Energy efficiency and sustainability through cutting-edge control systems

Technology meets craftsmanship — With Heesemann, surfaces are created that you not only see but feel.

The grinding process Wood consists of several phases, which must be optimally coordinated:

Calibrate:
Removal of unevenness and precise adjustment of the material thickness.

Intermediate grinding:
Smooth the surface between layers of paint for perfect adhesion

Fine-tuning:
Preparation for final painting or oiling.

Effect grinding/structuring:
Emphasis on wood grain for a natural, lively surface.

At Heesemann, each of these phases is supported by precise machine units, from calibrating rollers, to longitudinal and transverse sanding units and brushing aggregates to plate brushes with various trimmings.
