Screw Log Elevator
The Pinnacle SA Screw Log Elevator is a specialised conveyor system designed to transport logs vertically. Screw Log Elevators are essential tools for modern sawmill operations, offering efficient vertical transportation of logs and contributing to increased productivity and space optimisation.
Our Screw Log Elevator aligns, unscrambles, simulates and elevates logs from the Logdeck to the news machine in the sawmill.
How it works:
- Screw Mechanism: The elevator uses a rotating screw or auger within a cylindrical housing. The logs are fed into the bottom of the housing and are pushed upward by the rotating screw.
- Vertical Transportation: As the screw turns, it propels the logs vertically, allowing them to be transported to higher levels or different areas within the sawmill.
- Adjustable Speed: Most screw log elevators have adjustable speeds, enabling operators to control the rate at which logs are transported.
Key Benefits:
- Efficient Vertical Transportation: Screw log elevators provide a reliable and efficient way to move logs vertically, reducing the need for manual labour.
- Space-Saving: By transporting logs vertically, these elevators help optimise the use of space within a sawmill.
- Versatility: Screw log elevators can be used in various sawmill applications, including transporting logs to different processing lines or storage areas.
- Durability: These elevators are typically constructed from durable materials to withstand the weight and abrasive nature of logs.
Applications:
- Sawmills: Elevating logs to higher levels for processing or feeding logs into the sawline. Transporting logs to storage areas
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Feeding logs into pulping equipment.
- Biomass Energy Plants: Feeding logs into biomass boilers or furnaces.
