New at Tarkett: TRC Preclean 2M

Fully automatic precleaning of oak wood saves resources and increases safety

At the end of 2022, Tarkett in Orzechowo, Poland, was presented with a TRC Preclean 2M: The system, using a second processing robot compared to the standard machine, was commissioned on schedule shortly before Christmas and handed over to production.

With the TRC Preclean 2M, the wood surfaces are automatically pre-cleaned, damaged areas such as knotholes are cut out and soft spots are removed. Among other things, Tarkett produces rustic oak parquet at its Orzechowo facility – which is currently being prepared for repair with the TRC Preclean 2M. The 3-layer parquets have an oak top layer with a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.

Tarkett significantly increases productivity and reduces the workload of the employees who previously milled out the defects manually. In addition, there is the safety aspect: The employees no longer have to work with compressed air cutters.
