LARGER CUTTING CIRCLE

• Allows for more knives
• More knife cuts per inch
• Better finish
• Easier clearing of jam ups

CANTILEVERED CUTTER HEADS

• Allows for quick change of heads
• Improves time
• Allows for knife setting in the grinding room

DRIVE SHAFT ON TOP HEAD

• Standard off shelf motors
• Allows more horsepower due to size limits
• Top head is supported off board reducing stress to the planer

BENEFITS

• Allows jointing without opening the hood exposing the unguarded and running side heads.
• This new system allows the mounting of “plunge jointers” into both the left and right side head assemblies.
• Allows the operator to leave the jointer assemblies mounted in place and ready for fine adjustment when jointing is required.
• Cutter head hood is hinged allowing easy access for viewing or head removal.
• More knife life from better jointing
• Less grinding time from better jointing

• Durability

• Functionality

• Ease of access for maintenance

• The least amount of intrusion or clutter on and around the planer and feed table as possible

BENEFITS

• Controlled and positioned pressure is provided on a just enough basis using 1 per roll MDT (Magnetic Displacement Transducer) fitted cylinders for tensioning and positioning.
• This system automatically follows the contour of the boards providing more controlled contact, again, with just enough positioned pressure, no need for thin board pull down.
• Eliminates roll pounding and reduces wear and tear on the infeed table and feed roll area of the planer.
• Eliminates material breakage under the feed rolls by not over pressuring or crushing the material.
• Eliminates material breakage under pineapples and booster rolls by not over pressuring or crushing material.
• The mechanical portion of this retro fit has been designed to provide easy access for maintenance.

BENEFITS

• Changes in Production: Possible in less than a few seconds
• Automatic Release: Quick release system and immediate return to production after wood jamming
• Skips: One button allows you to simultaneously move both side heads which keeps the same space between them
• Knives: Rapid automatic adjustment of cutterheads following sharpening of knives
• Precision: Constant precision of manufactured products (only the first piece needs to be measured)

BENEFITS

• There is always a certain amount of slippage in Hydraulic Motors but when they are over sped the slippage increases dramatically
• Maintenance hours spent on the existing system
• Maintenance spent on existing Hydraulic drive for the feed table
• Roll wear from slippage
• Bushings and Bearings
