Log turner

Depending on the saw line and the timber sorting systems upstream, it may be necessary to oparate the logs by turning them before they reach the saw line. In this case, SPRINGER can offer a curved conveyor, four finger system from above, or log turning disc to do the job. All systems stand out for their robust designs, durability, and low maintenance requirements.

E-Kicker

The SPRINGER e-kicker system demonstrates a high level of ejection precision. To optimize the edge, the turning pushers are equipped with individual drives. This allows the direction of rotation of individual turning pushers to be changed in order to transfer the logs precisely to the cross conveyor.

Debarker centering conveyor

SPRINGER’s centering conveyors move logs to the center of a debarker, which is done hydraulically. To compensate for differences in the conveying speed, the centering conveyors have a special V-flight design of the lugs. 

Stop and Loader

The SPRINGER rotating log feeder is a reliable infeed solution in which an accumulation cross conveyor can be connected upstream. The rotating log feeder’s retainer, which prevents double feeding, can be hydraulic or electrical, depending on its location and the conditions it’s used in.

Stacker

The stacker makes it possible to stack two packages on top of each other in the package outfeed process.

Strapper

The PASCAL package press lies at the heart of SPRINGER packaging lines. It excels due to its superior productivity and low maintenance requirements. It’s currently the fastest package press on the market.

By using different strapping heads, SPRINGER’s package press can be custom adapted to customer requirements. Additionally, the package press can be upgraded to include a dunnage insertion device, with integrated lengthways cutting and automatic application of edge protection, as well as IPPC labeling.

Strapping

The SPRINGER strapping system was developed to strap packs being conveyed lengthways as well. This solution is primarily used for packs that have already been wrapped and packs that don’t need to be pressed at the sides anymore. The number and position of the straps can be selected to suit preferences, and the unwinding system can be upgraded to include a multiple unwinding system or an unwinding system with stationary rollers.

Transverse strappers

The strapping device on the SPRINGER transverse strapper is positioned on a moveable frame and can be moved to each strapping position. Stationary infeed rails are fitted to the bottom so that the strapping can also easily be threaded through the bottom of the package.

Fully automatic stick handling systems

SPRINGER’s fully automatic stick handling system automatically rejects short, broken sticks and sticks that don’t comply with measurement and shape tolerances before the sticks are fed to the fully automatic stick laying machine. An infeed belt moves sticks that are too short and these fall between the conveyor arms and onto a stick conveyor belt underneath, without any manual intervention. Sticks that don’t comply with the corresponding tolerances are detected and removed from the conveying process in a controlled way.

X-PAK 3000 trimming system

SPRINGER’s new multi-layer cutting solution combines both cutting and packing in one component. As a result, each of the sections can be produced seamlessly starting at a minimum length of 800 mm (32").

SPRINGER’s X-PAK 3000 stands apart for its ability to adjust the whole device, from the point at which timber is cut until the forks of the stacker. This eliminates all transfer points, resulting in a very smooth and stable process.
