"PZU" with loading station for wood cut to legth

Applications:

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.
