LIGNA SHOWCASE
Resaw technology showcased by Stenner
Stenner 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 .

LIGNA SHOWCASE
Springer presents lug loader for mixed board dimensions
Springer 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 control 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
|
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 . |
