Green sorting organizes freshly sawn lumber by dimensions and quality and stick-stacking creates stable stable packages for drying, storage, or further handling.  The main function of green sorting line is to create the stick-stacked bundle so that no disturbances take place at sawing. Jartek green sorting lines (also dimension sorting) with stick-stacking handle the whole process from sawing to drying as a full material flow using modern automation and digitalization, fully synchronized with sawing. Efficiently as one optimized process instead of a set of individual machines.  ![Jartek_Green-sorting_Eng_0626](https://www.jartek.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Jartek_Green-sorting_Eng_0626.png?width=2000&height=245&name=Jartek_Green-sorting_Eng_0626.png "Jartek_Green-sorting_Eng_0626") Sawmills have different lumber dimensions, production philosophies, structures and requirements. That is why every green sorting solution is tailored around the customer’s production flow, site layout and capacity goals. Is your sawing a fixed line or a line with changing patterns, there is always a solution to fit your practices and needs. Same goes for desired bin section type – vertical, horizontal. Sorting of wet lumber is done by dimensions, quality, thickness and width with speed of 250 planks/min.  Defective pieces can be automatically rejected from the main lumber flow.  Jartek green sorting line technology and its parts suit both green field investments and modernizations. ## Benefits of Green sorting lines --- Jartek, with decades of experience in lumber production understands customers’ manufacturing and business needs, and is used to define and design the green sorting together with customer resulting in most suitable layout and solution to fit customer needs. The benefits of Jartek solutions are many, from workforce optimization and maximizing yield to ensuring capacity and utilizing the latest automation, diagnostics, and digitalization to ensure a smooth lumber flow from sawing to drying. ![Green sorting line](https://www.jartek.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Green_Sorting_Line_01.jpg?width=3000&height=2000&name=Green_Sorting_Line_01.jpg) - ### Even without an operator by the line Modern automation allows controlling from the control section/room. - ### Fit to your need Each grading solution by Jartek is fitted to customer requirements by defining the best technical solution together. - ### Energy saving with quality Proper, intelligent sorting makes sure the stacks are homogenous to optimal drying saving energy and ensuring quality. - ### Resilient Use of mixed selection or softwood species or hardwood is your choice, solution applies. - ### High capacity From sawing to drying synchronized process, efficient sorting with rejection, and modern stick-stacking keeps capacity high for quality lumber. ## Key Features of Green sorting lines --- The features of the Jartek green sorting line come from the design of it as complete, functioning process, not as a set of individual machines. Also taking into account varying property needs and conditions of sawmills locally, the features such as number of bins and bin types, possibility to rejection, and pre-trimming there is flexibility, but always ending up into a high-quality lumber stack. Data, diagnostics, use of AI, just some to mention are embedded into Jartek solutions. ![sorting](https://www.jartek.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sorting.jpg?width=1920&height=1280&name=sorting.jpg) - ### Unlimited number of bins Whatever your need is now or tomorrow, adjust the number of bins to follow lumber dimensions, species, and capacity. - ### Augmented reality with automation Efficient detection and rejection of defected and geometrically uneven lumber. - ### Centralized process control Modern automation collects control of the sorting line, monitoring, and manufacturing process to one operating environment. - ### Robust structure The machines are built to last and to be operated even in harsh conditions. - ### Optimized board flow Right on time ensures the whole process flow uninterruptedly contuinuously. ## Jartek Green Sorting Technology --- Jartek green sorting lines with stick-stacking are built of machines that can be an add-on for new and existing lumber manufacturers or a modernization for existing ones.
