LIGNA SHOWCASE

Hall 25, Stand J09
Resaw technology showcased by Stenner
S
tenner will, once again,
be attending the Ligna
Exhibition in Hannover,
Germany, which runs from May
22-26.
As well as the usual faces
(Sales Director Fred Harding has
been attending for almost 40
years) there will be the opportunity
to meet staff from the design team
and the service and installation
team.
New developments in the key
areas of Wide Band Horizontal
resawing will be featured. This
includes a newly developed
spray lubrication system and a
High-Speed Setting System that
positions the height and angle of
each saw unit at the touch of a
single button.
“Much work has been done in
the last few years” says Harding.
“Maximising machine performance,
minimising labour input and
reducing saw kerf continue to
be our major drivers for product
development” he adds.
Featured on the stand will be a
five-head MHS9 Horizontal Resaw
Stenner will be showing off its resaw technology at Ligna
line destined for a client in Ireland
who ordered the machine on the
basis of the successful installation
of a similar line in 2015. The MHS
range consists of machines with
pulley diameters from 915mm
(MHS9) up to 1,370 mm (MHS137).
Applications range from the
manufacture of high quality
accurately sawn flooring material
to simple fencing and pallet
components. The larger units will,
typically, go into canter lines to
give maximum flexibility in cutting
patterns and also as multiple units
with handling systems to resaw
lumber into saleable sizes from
large dimension lumber produced
in a primary processing line.
The successful range of ST 36
inch resaws will be represented
and will feature the latest
innovations in accurate high-speed
radial arm resawing using single
stand-alone machines.
“We welcome customers old
and new to discuss their future
requirements” says Stenner
Managing Director, Syd Mather.

S
pringer Maschinenfabrik has
developed a new lug-loader
concept for the lumber
industry. Including a number of
significant technical innovations,
the concept to be presented at
Ligna contains a unique singulating
unit with which the boards are kept
fully under contr ol through the
entire feeding process, resulting in
smooth and gentle manipulation
and transport to the connected
scanner or trimmer units.
With this new feeder concept,
Springer has particularly focused
on the optimization of sawmills
producing different dimensions
on the same production line.
The efficiency of the process is
Springer presents lug loader
for mixed board dimensions
increased substantially with the
new E-feeder simultaneously
handling all products produced by
the sawing line.
The smooth and reliable flow
of the boards enables maximum
efficiency of the lumber production
line. This leads to higher overall
performance at lower comparable
cycles which result in lower
maintenance costs regarding the
overall lumber production. The new
feeder unit’s main assets are its
high process reliability as well as
its careful handling of the lumber
products.
Board surfaces and edges
remain unharmed due to the larger
surface area of the clamping arms,

which also facilitate a smooth and
gentle transfer of the boards to the
lug chain. This unit can be used
for both construction and visual
grade lumber in both softwood and
hardwood.
The lug loader solution
comes with some exciting, newly
developed optimization features
that will be presented and revealed
at the show this May.
