These systems offer a fully optimised product solution with infinite trim lengths allowing lumber mills to greatly reduce over trim waste and broaden their product mix giving them versatility for growth – Price LogPro
lumber mills to greatly reduce over trim waste and broaden their product mix giving them versatility for growth. This coupled with the reduced capital investment and reduced energy consumption gives lumber mills that upgrade to this technology a large advantage over conventional woodyard set-ups. The new LogPro merchandiser
arrangement has the capacity to easily merchandise stems at a continuous rate of over 600 ft/minute through the debarker and maintain a trim accuracy of

industry and bio-fuels industry since 1981. LogPro has developed a number of new products due to the ever increasing desire to better use small wood diameters for fuel, lumber and engineered wood products. The company offers a full line of material handling systems from complete roundwood processing systems to high speed/high recovery optimised log merchandising systems and rotary/linear log crane systems. LogPro managers and engineers
have been actively involved with the log trimmer series of high speed transverse bucking systems since its first release over 15 years ago. The transition of growth has brought technology from conventional “stop-n-chop” merchandising at 10-15 logs/minute to bucking stems at 40 logs/minute with full optimisation. This transverse bucking technology has seen numerous advancements in efficiency and reduced capital cost over the past decade. The latest generation of log trimmer technology combines greatly reduced capital equipment needs with an all-electric drive package

incorporating regeneration drive systems. These systems offer a fully optimised product solution with infinite trim lengths allowing
+/- ¼ inch across all bucked solutions without any day-to-day maintenance needed, incline lugged chain decks, even ending rolls or elaborate stem positioning systems. The new LogPro electric balanced saw design allows for extremely smooth operation while reducing energy consumption by half over older hydraulic designs. The new third generation LogPro merchandiser systems will be adequate for 99% of all sawmill applications utilising one high speed ring debarker and capital investment will be less than half of the earlier first generation log trimmer systems.

supply a single source for log handling equipment.
Sorting lumber can seem daunting when faced with the vast number of variables at play in most modern mills, according to North American heavyweight supplier, USNR. Common questions include: how many sorts do we require? How do we accommodate more grades within our existing sorting system? How do we increase our operational throughput and still sort effectively? How do we deal with wet boards or MSR? What do we do with the partially filled bins at
