BIN SORTER & STACKER SOLUTIONS

The Bin Sorter Control and Management system is virtually unlimited in the number of Sort Patterns that can be stored onto a designated Server PC. These Sort Patterns can be downloaded to the PLC system as the mill's products cutting patterns change.

Bin assignments are self-seeking, so when a bin becomes full, a new one is automatically assigned. The Sort Pattern for each product can be set up to go into a particular zone of the sorter. Sort Patterns can be defined in formats that allows any combination of widths, thickness, lengths, grade or moisture and density types which may be combined with a realistic Sort Pattern and descriptive name. Full production reports are available in a SQL Database.

The Sort Pattern setup is done from the AccuTally software package which is very user friendly to set up for the operator.

We have commissioned and retrofitted new and used Sorters (both lug chain and Jbar style including Tray Sorters

& Stackers) in both Softwood and Hardwood sawmills. The system is designed for auto bin haul out and interfacing to

an automated Stacker/Stick placer.

Options are available in interface a Grade Mark Reader or Optimized Trimmer as well as remote production displays, integration with your IT Network and remote wireless monitoring via an ipad or similar device.

Binwalker stations may be hard wired electrically or interfaced via remote Ethernet I/O.
