German disc sawmill. Sawmills

Today, the sawmill occupies an honorable place among industrial equipment and is simply an indispensable device in the woodworking industry. Since this kind of device not only has a high level of productivity and an enviable speed of work, but also it is of high quality.

But, nevertheless, even taking into account the fact that this tool simply has no analogues at the present time for a significant number of blanks, not everyone can purchase this kind of equipment. In this article we talk about this device, we will understand its main aspects, and you can actually get acquainted with a couple of models of sawmills. So let's get started.

If you want to choose a chainsaw (see), then read the article.

Design of coal disc sawmills

To make it easier for you to understand what this kind of tool looks like, just imagine the machine that actually produces it. Also important is the fact that it carries out its activities from an electric motor (as well as).

It is worth noting that the circular sawmill can be represented as two working bodies or as one working body. With one such “organ”, a cut is made in both horizontal and vertical positions. The most unusual thing in this option the fact that this kind of sawmill does not have an idle direction.

When the sawmill has two disks(organs), then in this case the workpieces are fed in an orthogonal direction. That is, a pair of worker disks have both a vertical and horizontal arrangement relative to each other. Thanks to this kind of feature, high-level performance is fully ensured.

The best modern models of circular sawmills

Now let’s actually get acquainted with some models of this kind of tool, which are famous not only for their power, but also for being quite practical and productive. Because perhaps among these models you will find the most suitable sawmill for yourself and your professional needs. So let's get started.

Discovery NEXT Design Features

Electric motors

Electric motors with a power of 15 to 22 kW can be installed on the sawmill.

Controller (dimension setting device) with remoteremote control

The ergonomic and convenient control panel allows the operator to manage basic work processes and exercise full control over the equipment. The control panel can be installed in any convenient location optimal performance operator's location, which will improve visibility of the sawing process.

Lasers for cutting positioning

Lasers serve as a cut line indicator and help increase productivity by saving time on setting up and positioning the workpiece. Lasers work equally well both in daylight and in dark time days. Laser pointers have a protective element against the ingress and adhesion of sawdust.

Heating of electronics

Temperature drop environment to the set minimum leads to automatic activation of the heating system for important electronic elements both inside the operator's console and on the sawmill itself.

Electromechanical clamps

Four independent electromechanical clamps securely hold the log on the frame, automatically adjusting the gripping force. The clamps are controlled from the operator's console, which speeds up the process of securing the log several times.

Aspiration system without electric hood

The complex is necessary to connect the sawmill to various systems aspiration. Collecting production waste prevents pollution production premises and makes it possible to further sell sawdust. The kit is universal and suitable for all known aspiration complexes (cyclones).

Wimmer log sawing machines (mobile sawmills)

This slogan famous company WIMMER has been proving itself for many years. The company works harmoniously and fruitfully. At its helm are true professionals and experts in their field Bernhard Wimmer, Norbert Wimmer and Josef Zenz. For many years now, the company’s work has confirmed the opinion of experts about high level development of its new machines and their high-quality production and enjoys a well-deserved reputation in the world market.

In 1990, Bernhard Wimmer and a partner founded a mechanical engineering company that specialized in the production of mobile saws. Already in 1996, he founded his own company and WIMMER - the first German mobile tape installation with an oblique cut and a median tension. Today, many of the innovative improvements to this setup are copied by competitors and partly claimed by them as their own designs.

Norbert Wimmer, Bernhard's son, has been working in his father's company for many years. As a qualified carpenter, he is closely associated with woodworking, cutting wood in order to intensively monitor new designs as well as new developments in the field of saw blades.

Joseph Zenz studied for 10 years in Munich in the field of electronic data processing, manufacturing economy, spare parts. Since 1999 he has worked closely with WIMMER and is responsible for the production and sales of sawing systems.

The continuation of the dynasty will undoubtedly be Stephanie Zenz, Joseph's daughter. Since 2005, she has been studying to become a mechanical engineer, and in the future she intends to continue her engineering and economic education.

The ZENZ team consists of 25 employees who take care of the flawless production sequence of WIMMER band saw systems. They also provide service for WIMMER sawing systems. Most of them have been working at the company for 10 years.

A little history

Matthias Zenz bought the village blacksmith shop in 1857, which existed until 1872. Then four more generations passed before the current owner, Joseph Zenz, took over the company in 1989.

In 2007, ZENZ celebrated its 150th anniversary. In addition to blacksmithing and trading in agricultural machinery, ZENZ has always been involved in mechanical engineering. So it is not surprising that Joseph Zenz Jr., soon after taking over the production, began working in this area. In 1990, the first three mobile sawmills for trading companies were built. And by 1999, 500 sawmills had already been created and sold throughout the world. Since 1990 The company was constantly expanding and making significant investments in the development of new machines. Today, all the company’s machines are equipped with electronic control, which makes it possible to achieve highest quality in production.

Today on the pages of the magazine we will present two new generation machines.

Log band sawing machine WIMMER BN 110 - three-shift operation

Band sawing machine WIMMER BN 110 (mobile sawmill)

Band sawing machine WIMMER BN 110

(mobile sawmill)

The WIMMER BN 110 log sawing machine is designed for professional use. This machine was developed based on many years of experience in sawing customer-owned timber. Over the years, service saw blade gained a lot of knowledge in the field of structures. Most of our machines have been operating in three shifts for many years and saw up to 12,000 m3 per year. They have proven to be stable and durable, while offering comfortable handling and precise cutting. By means of a “true” mid-tension, a “stress-free” movement of the saw blade is achieved, due to which its service life is significantly increased.

The WIMMER sawing machine bears the name of its creator Bernhard Wimmer, who has a 15-year history practical experience in the field of sawing of toll timber. In 1989 he developed his first log band saw and since then has continued to be actively involved in developments in this field. The quality of his developments is greatly influenced by the constant exchange of experience with contractor sawmills, as well as many years of practice in the field of servicing saw blades.

The main quality of the machine is its durability. This machine is designed for long-term operation and has not had a single failure during long-term testing. Many enterprises in Estonia, Latvia, Siberia, and Ukraine have been sawing on this machine for many years, and with constant operation (approximately 8,000 hours per year with a productivity of up to 12,000 m3 per year).

Stability is another essential quality in machine tool manufacturing.

And here there are no compromises for the company. Sawing machines are designed based on the corresponding diameters. We do not create any “cosmetic appearances” in order to make a machine with the largest log passage. The sawing machine, from the main frame with stable guides to all other components, corresponds to the log passage.

Own production has long been the key to success. Since we have our own production, we can fulfill almost all the client’s wishes. Customers can consult directly with the production manager, installation manager and designer. Direct contact prevents all kinds of misunderstandings.

Maintenance of the saw blade is also controlled by the company. Even the best saw blade will be of no use if the tool is not in order, which is why we offer you a complete saw blade service.

Log band sawing machine WIMMER BN 150 − best helper for working with thick wood

When developing this machine, we had the motto “No compromises!”

“The log sawing machine of the future” is how the Austrian magazine Holzkurier described the WIMMER BN 150 sawing machine.

Many sawmills are increasingly struggling with heavy timber that they can no longer process on their sawmill. This log sawing machine is right choice for those who want to specialize in the thick timber sector. With this machine, specialists will receive “fabulously” high-quality as well as quantitative output.

The choice of this machine determines the quality of its production.

Also, no compromises are allowed in the manufacture of BN 150 regarding its stability. Thus, the 150 cm passage in this machine was not made “cosmetic”, but was designed specifically for this kind of trunks. For this purpose, a main frame made of a stable double T-profile with through-reinforcement at the bottom was used. In addition, the horizontal and vertical calipers are built much more stable.

Machine reliability is a guarantee of production success. This sawing machine is not a completely new design: many years of experience with the BN 110 influenced the development of the BN 150. new design avoided “childhood diseases”.

One more important quality of this machine is its power. It is important that not only the sawing machine itself has become more stable, but also all elements of the drive mechanism, such as the 30 kW drive motor, lifting motor and feed motor.

Anyone who decides to invest in a machine of this size will receive not just a saw machine, but a machine that is made to suit his requirements. With our modular design we can fulfill almost all customer wishes.
