Complete Sawmill Lines, From Log Deck to Stacking

Overview

A line built from sections

A sawmill is a chain of machines, and the right chain depends on your logs. Ours typically starts with log loading and a transfer deck, then feeds a head saw that opens the log. Boards pass to an edger or multi-saw, then to a cross-cut and a sorting and stacking section. Roller tables, transfer decks and belt conveyors move wood between stations.

Why configuration matters

Log species, diameter range, length and the boards you want to sell decide the sawing pattern, the number of stations and how automated the line should be. A hardwood mill cutting wide boards needs a different layout from a plant producing pallet components from small logs. We do not offer one fixed package; we propose a layout once we know the raw material and the output you target.

Where it fits

These lines suit sawmills starting up, yards adding capacity, and pallet factories that want to cut their own boards. A smaller project may need only a head saw with an edger and manual stacking; a larger one adds debarking, sorting and automatic stacking.

What the design depends on

Log size and species, shifts per day, target product sizes, level of automation and the available site layout. Power supply, dust and slab handling, and how offcuts leave the line also shape the design.

Shipping and installation

Machines ship in containers with foundation drawings and electrical diagrams. Our engineers can guide installation and commissioning remotely or on site, and we keep wear parts such as blades available for reorder.

Quotation

Use the quote checklist below and our engineers will reply with a written scope, drawings or a specification, and a clear list of what is and is not included. Questions on shipping, spare parts and installation are answered in the same reply.

Compared with portable sawmills and chippers

A complete sawmill line suits a plant that sees a regular supply of logs and sells boards by the truckload. Each section works at its own pace and the conveyors tie them together, so output is a flow of boards, not one board at a time. The saw-set, edger and trimmer are sized so that none of them becomes the bottleneck.

If your log supply is small or scattered, a portable bandsaw mill is the cheaper tool: one or two people, one log at a time, at the log yard or forest. For waste wood, branches and slabs, a chipper turns it into fuel or raw material for boards and pulp. Many plants run all three: a line for the main logs, a portable mill for odd sizes and a chipper for the residue. When planning, count the whole chain, from log yard to sawdust, since handling often costs more than sawing.
