Small Log System

GENERAL ENGINEERING PTY LTD

The McKEECO Small Log System provides a system for converting small diameter hardwood and softwood logs into finished timber.

Depending on log volume a chipper canter and sawing headrig is all that is needed in conjunction with a board edger for edging the sideboards. The larger diameter logs are fed through the saw centre a couple of times.

CENTERING INFEED CONVEYER
The centering infeed conveyer rotates the log to the desired cutting position, centres and holds the log.

HEADRIG
The headrig can be either a sawing only or a reducing sawing unit. The reducing unit contains two chipper discs. The centre line sharp chain extends through the reducer / sawing section.

OUTFEED SEPARATOR
The outfeed separator is for separating the sideboards from the centre cant. An overhead spiky wheel holds the centre onto the sharp chain. Sidepress rolls hold the sideboards whilst the log is still in the cut. Hourglass rollers separate the sideboards from the centre cant after cutting.
