These models can handle a high throughput of small to medium diameter logs and a maximum log length of 6.6 m.

The main priority at this primary stage in the log breakdown process is to achieve equal open faces on the sawn cant. This allows for higher recovery down the line at the multiple rips or gang saw. Our Twinbands achieve equal open face cutting using a fast and accurate log loading system coupled with pressurized hold-down rollers and a sharp feed chain.

It is available with or without log turning functionality. The automated log loader allows for each log to be rotated to an optimal position and then placed onto the moving spiky feed chain.

The log is guided by pressure feed rollers, giving it maximum stability in the cut. The operator may select the desired cutting size and the machine will automatically adjust to that size, removing the need to sort logs before sawing. Investing in log sorting capability increases log throughput.

The TV2000 is ideal for pallet mill and stud mill operations, where the product has relatively small cross-sectional dimensions.

The TVS is cost-effective, versatile, designed for high performance, and built strong for years of reliable service. The TVS works equally well as a stand-alone unit or integrated with an existing sawmill line.

A movable control stand holds all controls for chain feed speed, cut width, laser activation, and optional Setworks. The Setworks stores five different pre-set widths, which enable the operator to change cut sizes quickly depending on log size, reducing the need to sort logs first.

Various feed system configurations make the TVS one of the most flexible solutions for removing two sides of straight logs, curved logs, logs with a flat surface, and slabs from 0-25m per minute.

Feed Chains for round logs

• The V feed system advances logs one at a time through the TVS. Spiked hold-downs guide the log. The lug spacing can be moved to suit the standard log lengths. This is a good option for straight logs with standard lengths.
• The spiky chain feed system with heavy, spiked top-rollers adds greater stability to the log as it goes through the TVS. Logs can be loaded onto the feed chain with little or no gap between them. This option is ideal for increasing productivity with straight and curved logs. The outfeed bed has three options for slabs handling.
  • Side Disks – pneumatically operated side arms that hold the side board against the log until it reaches the desired drop zone. The arms open and release the two side boards together.
  • Side Rollers – spiral rollers are fitted along both sides of the outfeed bed, and as the log gets sawn the side boards fall onto the side rollers and gradually get moved outwards until they fall onto the cross transfer table.
  • Economy Version – This bed has no spiral rollers or side disks, and the side boards fall directly onto a cross transfer conveyor.

Feed Chains for timber which already has a flat side

• Cant processing – For squaring up timber which already has two flat cut surfaces, a flat feed chain is available with heavy, spiked top-rollers. This is commonly used when two TVS units are used in line together.
• Slab edging – Another popular use for the TVS is for the slab recovery line. Large slabs can be put through the TVS and then fed down to a resaw or multi head resaw.

The SVS has a maximum cut width of 300mm. The maximum material size is 400mm wide by 250mm high. The SVS is fitted with infeed and outfeed roller tables. A steel spiked chain belt moves material through the blade up to 25 metres per minute.

With the standard laser, the operator can align the cant precisely for maximum recovery before pushing it onto the moving chain feed. Roller hold-downs make sure the log remains straight during cutting. The SVS can also be used to take one side off a slab, which can then be passed to a horizontal resaw.

The SVS shares the same head and many individual components as the TVS (Twin Vertical Saw), simplifying blade and spare parts ordering.
