  • Optimizing system

Catech measurement – and optimizing systems are available in several versions and applications as an advanced tool for simulation and analysis.

A Catech system measures and optimizes operations in a saw mill and uses technologies like laser, camera or other measurement technology.

Measurements and calculations of data from each board are made extremely fast and very reliable. Systems are developed by Catech and are conerstones when reduction of man power in saw mills is needed.

Catech systems are advanced tools for simulation and the analysis of operations. Catech systems allow for extensive statistics and design of customer made reports from various parts of operations.


A couple of functions:
  • Simulation during production
  • 3D-demonstration of boards with different perspectives and animations
  • Shift reports according to the needs of the sawmill
  • Continuously updated production data and production discrepancy
  • Alarm indication that suggests solutions of problems
  • Web based surveillance
 
   
   
  • Quality Systems

Catech quality systems are one of several modules in Catech optimizing system and are available in several versions.



• IAS

Instant Analyze System (IAS) analysis and compare measure values between different measure points as saw line, edger and sorting. Rational discrepancy analysis quickly indicates adjustments and actions that could improve operations.
 
   
   
   
   
  • Edger Optimizers

Catech offer edger optimizers for different volumes and other needs. Catechs edger optimizers are designed and built in modules allowing for a cost effective solution for each customer´s needs. Catechs systems can easily be fitted in the existing sawing line. With possibility to use unattended systems and high reliability Catech is ´the world leader in the edger optimizing segment.

Unscramblers are delivered in different versions depending on each saw mill´s requirement and the character of the timber processed in the mill.

Catech edgers are equipped with two, three or four movable saw blades. According to optimizing results boards are positioned with servo technique in the feed aligner before the boards go through the edger.

Edger out feeds can be delivered in different lengths and are easy to adjust.
 
   
   
   
   
  • Green sorters

Catech deliver complete dry sorters including control systems and cutting before the sorting bins. Careful sorting bins with minimal falling height, which could be delivered with hydraulic or mechanical flaps for gentle emptying and reducing of wood damage to a minimum.






 
   
   
   
  • Wane Scanner

Catechs wane scanner rationalizes the production before the green sorter and measure unsorted boards. During normal operation Wane Scanner is operated unattended. Scanning results are sent to the Catech optimizing system.
 
   
   
   
   
  • Singulator Tong Loader

PLC Tong Loader is well-known worldwide and is a high speed (220 pieces per minute) and highly reliably and accurate singulator. In many applications it can be run without an operator.

The Tong loader can be placed on all places in the production line there one piece feed is required. All of its benefits are best utilized if it is placed directly after the saw line, where a flow of mixed dimensions occur. It can also be placed before a stacker or package machine where the reliable feeding gives the operator opportunity to concentrate on assignments other than the singulation. Tong Loader has a lot off applications in the saw house, dry mill and in planning mill.
 
   
   
   
   
  • Sticker-receivers, Stacking machines and Stick placers

Fully automatic sticker-receiver equipped with automatic in feed of empty sticker crates and automatic out feed of filled sticker crates.

The stacking machine consists of a number of separate machines. These machines can be delivered separately or as a complete stacking machine. The complete machine consists of a twin elevator, a storage conveyor, a singulator type Tong Loader, a lug conveyor with even end roll cases, a layer carrier, an automatic stick placer, a package hoist and a package out feed conveyor.

A highly reliable machine to place sticks automatically on top of the package.
 
   
   
   
   
  • Dry sorter in feeds with tiltable S-unscramblers

Complete frequency controlled dry sorter in feed with tiltable S-type unscrambler for effective separation of small boards and gentle handling of bigger dimensions.


 
   
   
   
   
  • Sorting equipment and board handling systems

Catech has a wide product range of board handling equipment. Well-proven and high quality products like: unscramblers, slow-down belts cassette decks, belt conveyors, roller conveyors and different types of cross conveyors.
 
   
       
       
       
  Here are some of our standard products:

  • ULE-50 - unloading conveyor has a pneumatically controlled board brake and electrical driven lug chains. ULC-50 unloading conveyor also has an even end roller conveyor

  • Separator - Careful receiving and separating equipment for centrepieces, reduces damage on corners and edges to a minimum. Available for standing or laying boards.

  • Roof Top - unloading conveyor has special chains that transport boards after edged out feed. Roof Top kombi has an even end roller conveyor.

  • Cassette deck - controls the flow of boards and transports one by one.

  • Slow-down belts and belt conveyors after edger out feed or cross conveyor before unscrambler

  • Roller Conveyor - By even end roller conveyor the even butt is placed correctly before further transport.


  • Bolster placer - Semi-automatic bolster placer with magazine for manually filling. To be placed in the forklift-station for the forklift driver to decide if the bolster should be placed or not.
