Benefits of Using The Grindomatic V12
Automatic Chain Sharpener
Canadian Woodland Forum,90th Annual General Meeting April 1.2, 2009
SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY.► Sharpening time: 69 drive links
chains in 4 min. (15 chains/hr) vs 10 min./chain with a manual machine (6 chains/hr)
► Savings: 6 minutes/chain x 40 chains/week x 40 weeks/year = 160 hours saved!
► If you hire one person @ $15/hr hours x 160 hrs =$2,400 saved!
MORE TIME SAVINGS► Badly damaged chains: with manual
machine it is necessary to sharpen 2 or 3 times
► Grindomatic V12: takes up to 4 mm at a time without burning the tooth
► When harvesting: chains and bars last longer, less time wasted installing new chains and bars — less down time, more productive time.
SAVE CHAINS►Chain will stay in the bar when
sawing due to exact shape of teeth: same length, same angle
►Can now use chains twice as long as before. Savings in one year: $14 x 200 = $2,800
SAVE CHAINS►Can count on the consistent
sharpness of every chain, every time
►Chains sharpened with Grindomatic V12 cut even better than a new chain
SAVE SAWBARS► The Chain is perfectly aligned in the bar
groove, drive links do not wear out the bar by pulling on one side. (cutters have same length and same angles)
► The bar goes faster through wood, so lubrication oil can last the full cut, including in larger diameter timber
► Savings: 1/3 of 30 bars/year = $500.00
SAVE SAW MOTORS► Improved cutting reduces saw motor
stress► After using Grindomatic V12 for 2
years: “I did not have to change a saw motor (F11-10 $1,600 and F11-19 $2,200) compared to previously, on average, changing one per year.”
► Savings average: $1,900
$AVE MONEY► In salary: $2,400/year► Bars: $500/year► Chains: $2,800/year► Saw motors: 50% x 2 motors
$1,900/year------------------------------------------------► Total Savings: Up to $7,600/year
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT► Better utilization rate on the harvester,
the highest “value” machine in your company
► 40 chain changes/week x 5 min/change = 3.33 hours out of 192 hours (2 harvesters)
► Equivalent to 1.7% better harvester utilization rate
HELP THE ENVIRONMENT►Make better use of each chain
and bar while reducing your impact on the environment
►Reduce fuel consumption ►Reduce waste of fibre: faster cut
log means less split ends and better quality logs, especially in larger diameters
