Mobile sawmills

Mobile sawmills are not such a rare, but underestimated by many people type of equipment. Meanwhile, most specialists must know the key features of a mobile sawmill on wheels, including the difference between a portable and transportable sawmill on a trailer. And also it is worth familiarizing yourself with an overview of models for a chainsaw, with the nuances of their use.

The main specificity of a mobile sawmill is that this type of sawing equipment is designed for operation in the field. It is very easy to deliver such a device to the place of work. It is possible to process a wide variety of types and species of wood, as well as to obtain almost any form of workpieces.

A good mobile sawmill is Wood-Mizer models... Only this concern supplies mobile band sawmills of monorail type. An important feature of its products is the cantilever mounting of the sawing part. As a result, after towing to the right place, setting up the sawmill and preparing it for use takes no more than 30 minutes.

Autonomous operation of the device in the forest is supported. At the request of customers, it is envisaged to be equipped with a gasoline internal combustion engine or a diesel engine. The power plant ensures the operation of not only the sawing unit, but also the hydraulic complex for loading the logs. The transportable sawmill is moved by the vehicle by towing. The transport kit includes:

• hitch;
• chassis;
• protective perimeter;
• lights for signaling.

Model LT20 designed to process small quantities of wood. The sawing part is located on a vertical type mast. The orientation of the sawing unit and its movement are corrected by giving commands from the operator's panel. The bed is thought out in such a way that it is convenient to take the sawn cut. Implemented work with logs with a cross section of up to 80 cm, and the drive power varies from 11 kW (in the electric version) to 22 hp. with. on diesel fuel or up to 25 liters. with. when choosing a carburetor option.

Quite popular, along with models on wheels, are also portable sawmills for chainsaws. A good example of this is product Realforest RF45002 width 0.45 m. The carriage is designed for longitudinal sawing of wood. You can harvest not only boards, but also cuts and slabs. The Czech system provides a cutting depth from 0.01 to 0.36 m, the nuts are vibration and moisture resistant.

The trailer can be moved "North 550 AVT-M"... The corner sawmill can replace both the first and second row machines. The system can be set in motion:

• electric motor;
• gasoline engine;
• physical strength of operators.

Along with belt systems, frame and disk systems are widely used. Frame complexes are used mainly by professionals. They are needed if you want to saw a tree lengthwise.

Mobile sawmills are appropriate in 3 cases:

• with a small amount of wood processing (as well as with its episodic and / or unstable nature);
• in the absence of a large base of raw materials, which is also scattered in different places;
• when there is a lot of competition for high-quality raw materials (for example, when there is already a serious woodworking complex nearby).

It is allowed to change the saw height only after the carriage has been removed from the sawing area and has come to a complete stop. It is impossible to saw on the return course of the carts. The thickness of the last board received is regulated in the instructions for the technique. If it is not adhered to, system diagnostics are required. It is also required to strictly observe the norms of the parameters:

• section of the workpiece in the butt part;
• the greatest width of the cut;
• cleanliness and surface preparation;
• ways to install logs on the sawing table.

The load on the stand supports must be even. And you should also watch that the side clamps are fastened securely. Do not cut if there are foreign objects in the working area of ​​the machine or there are obstacles to the passage of the trolley. It is imperative to control the clearance from the sawing parts to the side clamps. The speed is always determined according to the type of product and the type of wood. In each shift you need:

• inspect the sawmill and identify visually noticeable defects;
• evaluate the functions of safety and protective systems;
• determine the condition of the saws;
• clean sawdust;
• lubricate bearings;
• measure the temperature of motors and rotating parts of mechanisms a minute after starting.
