Universal Long Log Flaker Type PZU
Economical production of top quality strands
The PALLMANN ring flaker is capable of cutting
fixed length logs as well as random length logs with precise accuracy into
strands to a specific length, width and thickness. The long log flaker is
the ideal machine for flake preparation for Wafer board, Oriented Strand
Board, Particleboard, cement-bonded panels and reconstituted lumber.
Method
of Operation
The logs are transported into the flaking
chamber with an integrated water injection system by means of a batch
feeder. Horizontally placed swords hold the logs in position during the
cutting stroke. A closing gate hydraulically side clamps the log bundle at
the flaking chamber and closes the flaking chamber during the last cutting
stroke. The wood is split along the grain. This cutting action results in
rectangular flakes with smooth surfaces and a minimum of fines.
