The Microtec Logeye 302


Microtec/Italy Springer has developed a mechanical plant concept that conforms to the Swedish market and simultaneously a trendsetting revolation in Swedish roundwood measurement – the first screw unscrambling/allocating system solution from Springer with the multisensory system Logeye from Microtec. The extensive plant installation started in


February. Information from Friesach ensured that in spite of the extraordinarily severe Swedish winter it would be finished in summer according to plan. Putting the entire plant into operation began successfully in August so that it could then be handed over for production purposes. The plant was specially fitted with one of Springer’s quality robust versions in order to withstand the severe winter conditions and to manage the diameter size of the logs to be sorted. “However the plant continues to comply with the sensitive noise restrictions of a tourist region,” Springer Chief Executive Gero Springer said.


On the four in-feed decks, logs with a length of 3-6.5 m and a diameter of 100-650 mm are mixed. The parallel supply capacity on four decks is an important feature, whereby the in- feed of single loads can be individually divided. With an unscrambling system, the logs are


separated both carefully and continually. Noise reduction is ensured as logs are allocated to an assessment cross conveyor where manual log classification is performed by employees of the VMF (Swedish timber measuring company) in cross transport. The plant has been designed so that the new Logeye 302 from Microtec takes over this task in a fully automatic mode. This scanner system with X-ray, 3D measuring and colour pictures has already been installed
