Feeders

Just-in-time, high speed, automatic feeding of boards and layers is the key to capacity in lumber handling processes

Tested in real production, Jartek feeders handle a wide range of lumber dimensions with a single unit. 

Jartek feeding solutions ensure smooth and reliable infeed for sorting, grading, planing, stick-stacking, and packaging operations, helping maintain stable production and high line utilization. What truly sets it apart, according to our customers, is its outstanding ability to handle even the most challenging boards, including heavily twisted, bowed and multi-directionally distorted material.  

Whether the application requires flexible single-piece feeding for mixed lumber dimensions, high-capacity feeding for demanding production environments, or full-layer feeding for stick-stacking and packaging, Jartek offers a solution designed to match the process requirements. Precise feeding minimizes jams, reduces unplanned downtime, and ensures a continuous flow of material throughout the production line.

Designed for flexibility and gentle material handling, Jartek feeders allow quick adjustments for different lumber dimensions and production needs while supporting reliable operation and maximum throughput in modern sawmills and planer mills.
