Thanks to the combination of low prices and high operational stability, sawmills for wood of the Serra brand (Germany) have become widespread in small and medium-sized businesses.
Owners of private companies who are constantly engaged in sawing logs have appreciated its advantages:
- high yield of products - due to special modern design band saws for wood, waste during sawing is minimal;
- the ability to cut sawlogs using a manual drive;
- quick payback and low energy costs during operation, which is especially important for small production workshops.
By purchasing equipment of suitable power, you can quickly grow your business without significant investments. In addition, lightweight and quick installation equipment, as well as cost-effective maintenance.
What determines the price of wood cutting machines?
The price varies depending on the scale of production. Thus, inexpensive narrow belt machines equipped with manual drive, are mainly used in small private forestry workshops, as well as in domestic conditions - at the dacha, farm, suburban area. Wide-band equipment, which has a movable saw unit and a hydraulic control unit, can be used on an industrial scale.
If you have to choose band sawmill, pay attention to the high productivity of machines with vertical installation saws (30 - 85 cubic meters per shift) and the correct geometry of cutting the boards. The speed of work is ensured by the rigid installation of the saw unit and, as a rule, the mechanized supply of logs on a conveyor or carriage moving back and forth.
The operating principle of a band sawmill
The working part of the sawmill is a metal saw blade that moves in horizontal plane along the sawn log, fixedly fixed on the platform. The saw band is tensioned between the driving and driven pulleys, and the tension force is selected so as to create conditions for high-quality cutting of wood during the entire working time.
The sawmill operator, using hydraulic adjustment devices or an electronic ruler, sets the dimensions of the lumber that needs to be produced from the logs. He then selects, depending on the type and hardness of the wood, the optimal sawing speed. The operator's duties also include placing each log on the platform, securing it with special clamps and turning it over to make new cuts, as well as removing wood scraps from the platform.
German OPTIMUM band saw machines are reliable and time-tested equipment. For over 30 years, OPTIMUM has been designing, developing and manufacturing metal cutting equipment. All the company's products are distinguished by quality, accuracy, durability and reasonable price. Design and development is carried out mostly independently. In addition to its own factories, OPTIMUM cooperates only with manufacturers who are ready to meet the high requirements that the company places on product quality. The extensive knowledge and experience of the company's designers are used for continuous improvement and more effective use supplied equipment. All manufactured OPTIMUM machines are fully tested for functionality and compliance with accuracy standards. Regular procedures input control equipment are an integral part of the quality assurance process. By purchasing OPTIMUM band saw machines, you can be sure that you are buying high-quality and reliable equipment.
How to order German Optimum bandsaw machines?
Band saws woodworking machines are the most common type of machine equipment used for wood processing. The main task performed by mechanisms of this type is cutting workpieces large sizes. The presence of equipment ensures cutting under different angles, maximum depth up to 400 mm. Thanks to the design of the units and the power of the electric motor, a high speed of movement of the belt web is ensured. The cutting parameters as a result of the operation of the mechanisms are high-tech and correspond to technical specifications. The use of installations of this type in production in some cases does not require subsequent grinding of parts. Design features allow you to perform technologically complex operations for cutting curved surfaces.
The quality of the cut is determined by the setting cutting tool, the condition of the cutting surface of the band blade. Unlike metal equipment, woodworking machines are produced with a vertical frame. Each model is equipped with an electric motor of a certain power. For small machines, it is typical to install motors with a power of up to 1.2 kW. Industrial machines are equipped with powerful motors up to 3.75 kW. The dimensions of the work table, the presence of additional devices and accessories determine the technological capabilities of the mechanisms.
Features of wood band saws
Each unit presented in the catalog differs in the length and width of the cutting tool. On semi-professional units, blades with a width of 3-10 mm are installed. Industrial equipment has a massive body and is equipped with a saw blade up to 2000 long and 6-15 mm wide. The depth of the cut is determined by the amount of clearance between the surface of the work table and the frame. Processing is allowed at installations wooden parts, the maximum thickness of which does not exceed 8 cm.
The products have an optimal saw speed corresponding to sawing wood of different densities without losing the quality of the cut. Models with digital display are equipped with a saw speed regulator, which can be set depending on the hardness of the rock.
The units are equipped rotary tables, allowing installation of workpieces at an angle in the range from 0 to 45 0. Locking devices are required for all vehicles. The equipment of the products meets electrical safety standards. All installations are covered by warranty.
