Position #1 Driven Stack Roller Conveyor mounted on to the floor with forklift cutouts.

Position #2 In feed roller track with scissor lift

Lift equipment includes heavy duty scissor lift with multiple height operation using oil hydraulic drive with separate pump and valve circuit. System automatically loads from Position #1 and can discharge last piece or partial bundle when lowered onto Position #3 for forklift pick up.

Position #3 Automatic in feed pusher device

Equipment includes pusher arm positioned over bundle to infeed a single board at a time. Arm is powered through a mechanical motor driven system for pushing and auto set for board thickness and board length.

Position #4 Driven angular roller conveyor Position #5 Brush cleaning unit

Function: - Top and bottom side surface cleaning of raw board by means of

rotating fiber brushes including dust extraction hoods. * OPTIONAL (Powered roller conveyor for additional board staging prior to lay-up

section)

Position #6 Driven intermediate transport belt conveyor between the panel cleaner and

Film tray carriage - Film holding carriage is position movable longitudinal with auto

board back stop allowing for positioning of various board length lay-ups (6’ through 12’ length)

- Film holding arms are mounted on vertical slides for melamine film tray loading via forklift entry.

Position #7 Lay-up and tray belt feed assembly

Function: - Manual pulling melamine papers and board substrate layup. - Film infeed belt table. Table includes power unit powering belt

forward for bottom paper layup. - Wood based panel ( I.e. particleboard) is transported over and above

bottom film via electrical power rollers on chain track. Board positions against forward stops above bottom film. Roller conveyors retract depositing panel onto lower film.

- Upper film is pulled longitudinally and positioned over the panel manually. Composition of film board film is clamped automatically for loading into press.

- Carriage move forward and picks up completed panel in press for discharge and at same time unloads new composition onto press platens.

Tray belt carriage is powered via twin motor drives with frequency controls for high speed load / unload and accurate composition placement in press.

Position #8 Driven Outfeed Conveyor with board centering device

Position #10 Outfeed roller conveyor

Function - Outfeed roller conveyor is activated vertically to tilt

conveyor in angular plan parallel to panel being ejected after press cycle.

- Laminated panel moves longitudinal down sloped conveyor. Conveyor rollers are covered to prevent damage to laminated surface.

Position #11 Edge cleaning device for cleaning longitudinal and cross edges of

overhanging surface material

Position #12 Driven transport and take-off conveyor with alignment for

receiving laminated panels from the edge trimmer.

- Cross alignment device aligns panel for stacker pick up.

Position #13 Outfeed Stacker

Function: - - To pick up and

transport panels to or from the outfeed inspection location.

- Stacker is equipped with vertical power mechanism via electrical driven winch type motor assembly.

- Stacker pick up rack equipped with vacuum cups activated via venturi vacuum created suction devices.

- Stacker frame is constructed of heavy duty I-beam structure with powered moving carriage controlled through inverter drives for accurate location and positioning.

- Stacker has three positions for pick up and placement. - Location #1 – Finish board pick up - Location #2 – Utility grade stack - Location #3 – Prime grade stack Location #1 is pick up point for panel. Stacker functions is pickup, tilt for bottom inspection and positioning to Location #2 or Location #3.
