Wood-Mizer WB2000 Wideband Sawmill

http://www.woodmizer.eu - The Wood-Mizer WB2000 wide band sawmill is designed for the toughest sawmilling jobs. Wood-Mizer’s WB2000 features heavy-duty construction, low maintenance requirements, and efficient operation. Computer setworks and a raised operator control station allow a single operator to manage all sawing and hydraulic log handling functions while maintaining a clear view of his work. The heavily constructed bed has a log capacity of up to 6 tonnes. Computer setworks and a raised operator control station allow a single operator to manage all sawing and log handling functions while maintaining a clear view of his work. The advanced PLC setworks are displayed on a 19cm HMI touch-screen which presents board and cant sizes along with current head height, feed position, and blade power. The setworks feature new ways of increasing productivity and reducing steps required in the sawing process. Hydraulic features are: up to two bi-directional chain turners, three vertical side supports, two powered roller toeboards, a heavy-duty clamp, and up to three cant hold-down clamps. A board removal conveyor located at the rear of the bed automatically activates for smooth board transfer off the sawmill. The bed is heavily constructed to handle logs up to six tonnes. The twin C-channel steel beams that make up the frame are massive – 400mm tall by 110mm wide. All hydraulic log handling functions - such as the log clamps, chain turners, and power rollers - are modular, and can be moved to different bunks as needed. The WB2000 is equally used as a standalone sawmill to process all required materials, or as an addition to an existing business to process irregular logs or to produce custom orders that the existing equipment is not suited for.
