Bandmills to increase production by taking cuts away from the primary saw and also in chipper canter lines to reduce the number of passes though the line and produce finished product that has no further resawing requirements. In recent years Multihead lines complete with Handling Systems have been installed by the Sawmiller to provide efficient high speed production of finished components with a relatively low saw kerf. Components such as Fencing Materials, Pallet Boards, Box Lamellas and Flooring Components are all produced on these Stenner “MHS” lines. For the high speed resawing of the dried boards Stenner offer their extensive range of Centre Cutting Resaws. Available as Single or Twin machines there are a total of 14 models within the range. The VHF36 and ST10F single machines have tilting saw units which can angle cut up to 45 degrees. All are equipped with 6 independently driven hydraulic feed rollers (3 each side of the blade) for excellent control of boards. The heavy duty system controlling the feed boxes is capable of centre cutting, off centre equalising and dimension cutting. The smaller machines in the range are often hand fed whilst the larger machines are typically placed with automated lines with feed speeds up to 450 feet per minute. Stenner resaws are available with the latest PLC control systems that can set the feed boxes, saw positions and cutting angles at the touch of a button. Stenner have recently supplied a number of lines that combine horizontal and vertical saws giving the sawmiller excellent flexibility with the range cutting patterns that are made possible. These combinations allow more standard sizes to be produced on the main saw line relieving the pressure on sawn timber storage systems, and increasing line speed.
