Grading Lines

Maximize lumber value and minimize defects by modern structural strength, quality, and appearance grading.

 

After drying, every piece of lumber needs to be handled, graded and prepared for its end use. Lumber grading to final quality (quality sorting, classification) to suit its application, end-customers’ orders, codes, and standards is achieved in a modern, automated grading line (dry sorting line). The line uses a combination of scanners, cameras, and machine vision to measure moisture content, surface defects, and structural strength, instantly sorting boards for packaging and sale. Should the end use be in furniture industry (typically hardwood), visual appearance rules while use in structural frames construction (typically softwood) strength comes first.

Sawmills have different lumber dimensions, wood species, production philosophies, structures and requirements. That is why every grading solution is tailored around the customer’s production flow, site layout, lumber grades, and capacity goals.

Jartek grading line solutions fit your needs as stand-alone or part of a complete greefield or brownfield sawmill.
