Compact Finger-Jointing Machines for maximum precision
HOWIAL Flyback HVP-28 are proven compact finger-jointing machines that perfectly combine precision, efficiency, and long service life. For more than six decades, HOWIAL has represented innovative solutions in finger jointing. With these finger-jointing machines, we provide machines that are particularly designed for medium-sized companies and flexible production environments—compact in design, yet high in performance.
Our compact machines are individually tailored to your requirements. Whether small window frames, glulam lamellas, or KVH (structural timber) beams—all cross-sections can be easily produced. You also have the choice between a horizontal or vertical finger joint profile. And we offer maximum flexibility for glue application systems: the compact machine is optimally adapted to various 1C or 2C glue application systems.

The modular design permits easy adaptation to individual production requirements. Thanks to short setting times, the machine is particularly cost-effective for changing orders and medium batch sizes.
A HOWIAL Flyback HVP-28 impresses with glue application on either one or both sides via a special comb, ensuring maximum precision through microprocessor-controlled pumps. Integrated finger-jointing operations provide optimized jointing accuracy and consistently high joint quality. Due to their heavy-duty and robust construction, the machines have a particularly long service life and offer maximum operational reliability in daily use.
The combination of all process steps in a single setup lead to highest joint quality, which allows even hardwood to be processed. The compact finger-jointing machines are characterized by high technical availability and are ideally suitable for flexible use and special applications.
Thanks to its compact design, the Flyback HVP-28 offers excellent price-performance ratio with minimal space requirements—an investment that perfectly combines quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
