Stick Sorter

Uniform stickers let the drying air flow through the lumber load ensuring even drying.

Names vary: stickers, stacking sticks, spacers – but they all serve the same purpose. Placed between layers of lumber, they allow air to circulate and ensure even drying. In addition, uniform stickers and proper stacking help prevent defects such as warping, twisting, and sticker stain during the drying process.

No more manual work is needed to ensure that lumber dries evenly and remains perfectly flat. The automatic Jartek stick sorter scans the dimensions, shape, and defects of each stick, allowing only suitable sticks to proceed. Uneven, weak, or faulty sticks are automatically removed from the process. The better the stickers, the better the stacks.

Jartek lumber stick sorters can be integrated into both new and existing lumber handling processes. Each solution is designed to meet the customer's specific needs, specifications, and requirements.

Stick Sorter in action

Jartek Stick Sorter automatically scans, measures and grades each stick using machine vision technology — removing faulty sticks before they create disturbances in production flow.

Key Benefits

Sticks_Sorting_Line_01

  • Reduced production disturbances

    Faulty sticks are removed automatically before they can cause disruptions in stick handling and downstream production processes.

  • Improved operational reliability

    Consistent stick quality helps maintain stable material flow and supports smoother, more predictable sawmill operation.

  • Less manual work

    Automatic scanning, grading and reject handling reduce the need for manual inspection and operator intervention.

Key features
