Hitman Processor Head System Goes Operational
from Nigel Sharplin, Fibre-gen The best time to measure log quality is before log making. Optimiser systems applied to many late model processor heads measure taper and diameter automating many of the dimensional based decision making processes that would otherwise be left up to the operator. Now for the first time ever the new HITMAN PH330 processor head sonic tool provides harvest operations with the ability to measure the stiffness properties of each log prior to cutting i
Growing interest in the wood processing sector
from fibre-gen In recent months there has been growing interest in the wood processing sector for systems that efficiently segregate between high and low stiffness wood. There has never been a better time to enhance productivity and improve manufacturing efficiencies by applying smart technology to improve yield of high grade and high value timber products. While the wood products world continues to wait for structural market volumes to pick up, increasing amounts of logs and
