LUMBER PROCESSING
A
t Ligna 2017, German
sawmill supplier, Linck, will
present many new detailed
solutions for increasing the sawline
efficiency.
The first machine combination
is a recut chipper canter with
separate outfeed system, VZO.
This outfeed system is equipped
with vertical and horizontal roller
pairs for reliable and continuous
feeding of the cants. Precise, servo-
hydraulic positioning of the roller
pairs allows active curve sawing of
the two-sided cants.
The complementary Linck
6-curve scanner allows the
accurate scanning of the cant
curvature. An essential feature
of this scanner is that movement
of the cant during scanning does
not have an adverse effect on the
scanning result.
Therefore, scanning can also
take place in case the cant is
moved, for example, by centering
rollers. The result is a considerable
reduction of the overall length of a
sawline, which makes it possible
to integrate this scanner in existing
sawlines.

efficiency at home show

“On our stand we also show live
the effect of energy recovery using
a cant turner as example,” Linck
told International Forest Industries.
The high piece count and the
high speed necessary for turning a
two or four-sided cant first requires
high acceleration of the cant turner
rotor. The energy released by the
subsequently strong braking of the
rotor is not converted into heat but
into electrical energy, which is then
fed back into the power network.
Furthermore, Linck will
showcase a roller conveyor
designed for up to 200 m/minute
line speed. With such high speeds,
conventional roller drives present
a high noise level and suffer from
heavy wear. Both factors are
considerably reduced by replacing
the chain with a belt.
