Comact
Comact’s Optimized Log Merchandiser is designed to help mills make the most of every stem. By combining advanced scanning with real-time decision making, it determines the best bucking strategy based on true log shape, product mix, and downstream requirements.
Available in transverse or linear configurations, the system delivers precise saw positioning and consistent cut control, ensuring optimal fibre recovery while reducing waste. Its flexible architecture makes it easy to integrate into new or existing lines, and it supports a wide range of log sizes.
The Optimized Log Merchandiser is a critical asset for mills looking to increase value at the front end of their operations. By aligning bucking patterns with production goals, it enables smarter log breakdown and better product flow throughout the mill.
For sawmills focused on recovery, efficiency, and yield, Comact’s Optimized Log Merchandiser is a reliable solution that delivers results log after log.
FiberPro
The FiberPro Log Trimmer series merchandiser system features a six-stage rotary indexing cradle and round way guided saw module, with a single high efficiency direct interlocking mechanical drive system for speeds in excess of 80” per second and for safety.
The company’s priority is to supply its clients with performance solutions that encompass safety and reliability. Its latest generation of merchandiser systems have redundant safety systems integrated into the design and oversized components for increased reliability and uptime compared to past designs. It has taken over 27 years of constant development and improvements to reach the speeds and productivity the latest generation systems are currently achieving, says the company.
FiberPro specializes in roundwood and dimensional fibre engineering services, handling systems and processing solutions. The company’s mission is to use innovative engineering and personalized services to create value for sawmills, chip mills, and paper mills. Its engineers have worked in the industry for decades in both log and lumber applications, says the company.
USNR
USNR offers the popular LogPro-brand merchandiser. This extremely accurate, high production system is part of a fully integrated solution that is proven to maximize value and volume recovery from each stem, says the company. Available in transverse and lineal configurations, it provides everything customers need to build an impressive and productive operation including the infeed conveyor, stem kickers, stem pusher, inclined lug chain conveyor, traveling saw carriages, and outfeed belt conveyor, along with USNR’s scanning and optimization solutions.
USNR’s experience with technology for integrating mechanical and PLC controls to optimize the bucking process is described as second to none. It all adds up to an unbeatable system for diverse applications, according to the company. USNR is committed to superior customer service providing support for its products 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.
L-M Equipment Co
Built on nearly 70 years of continuous refinement, L-M Equipment says its deck saw remains the benchmark for simplicity and reliability in log bucking systems.
As the company’s original and one of its most widely-used models, it is trusted by sawmills around the world for consistent performance and low maintenance, says the company. The deck saw is engineered for operators who value uptime and durability above all else as there is no over complication, just a proven workhorse that gets the job done shift after shift, year after year. Whether processing softwood, hardwood, or pulp logs, this saw delivers clean, accurate cuts and stands up to demanding environments with ease. With installations spanning six continents, it is a staple in sawmills that prioritize efficiency without compromising on quality.
Endurance Equipment
Endurance Equipment describes itself as a leading provider of merchandising technology and equipment for sawmills and related forest products industries. Its strength lies in custom engineering equipment and processing systems to meet clients’ specific needs, setting high standards for its competition through strong engineering and innovation.
Its heavy duty, high speed scan chain designs allow speeds up to 500 fpm, holding stems true throughout the scanning process and permitting direct loading and off kicking. The rotary positioner quickly and precisely transfers stems to the cut zone. Its rugged saw carriages offer multiple blade size configurations, each with near infinite cut position possibilities. The robust outfeed system is designed to take abuse all day, every day for near maintenance-free operation, says the company.
As part of Peak North America (PNA), Endurance Equipment says that it aims to create high quality, integrated solutions for an evolving industry. Its full service team will design, fabricate, install, program, commission and start up new systems.
Inotech Canada
Inotech Canada’s Intellibuck optimized stem merchandiser maximizes optimization of stems by determining the most profitable log bucking patterns.
It generates the best bucking pattern from the true shape scanning of the entire stems, not only from diameter and length scanning. It can be used for stems up to 80’ long and 24” in diameter.
Precise traveling of the saw modules occurs via electrical encoded motorization. Ultra soft saw swing action occurs via a heavy duty crankshaft and electrical motorization. Triple stem accumulation devices are independently controlled for high speed operation.
The Inotech Canada system features super heavy duty construction that is well designed to ensure long lasting of components, says the company.
A full mill infeed equipment lineup is available, including stems accumulation deck, stems and logs singulator, V-flight conveyor and other equipment.
