Thin kerf, high strain, bandmills for high speed primary breakdown and secondary breakdown of logs and cants into lumber. Single, twin and quad bandmills for canters, sharp chains and resaws for sawmill and remanufacturing plants.
Bandmills are used to remove side boards, or flitches, from the sides of a cant from a canter or sharp chain primary breakdown system as well as a resaw for boards or flitches.
Bandmills on primary breakdown canters and sharp chain reducers are either a twin bandmill or quad bandmill. The bandmill is mounted directly behind the chipping heads to remove side boards (flitches) from the cants. The bandmills position is controlled based on the size of the log or cant being processed. Ripsaws for secondary breakdown can be single, twin, triple or quad band mills and mounted vertical or horizontal. Band mills for a carriage (head rig) are single band mills with either single or double cut.
A band mill consists of a frame (husk) with a top and bottom wheel. The band saw is mounted on the wheels. The drive is on the bottom wheel The top wheel pivots to allow tension of the band saw.
Tensioning of the bandmill is accomplished with mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic strain. As lateral forces are exerted on the bandsaw during the sawing process, the top wheel will be allowed to lower allowing the saw to flex. The strain system will rapidly re-tension the strain on the saws to pull the saw line back into position.
