Bin Sorter & Stacker Solutions

Increase efficiency and accuracy with automated bin sorting and stacking solutions for sawmills.

Introduction & Overview

What are Bin Sorter & Stacker Solutions?

Our Bin Sorter & Stacker Solutions provide automated lumber sorting and stacking, ensuring precise organization of boards for downstream processing and shipping. Using PLC-based controls, real-time tracking, and high-speed automation, these systems improve sawmill throughput while reducing manual handling.

Who is it for?

These solutions are designed for sawmills, remanufacturing plants, and lumber processing facilities that need fast, reliable, and automated sorting and stacking. Whether handling dimensional lumber, random-width boards, or industrial wood products, our systems optimize material flow for maximum efficiency.

Why it matters?

Manual lumber sorting and stacking leads to bottlenecks, inconsistent sorting, and increased labor costs. Traditional systems often require high maintenance and frequent adjustments, reducing productivity. Our automated bin sorter and stacker solutions eliminate inefficiencies by precisely sorting, stacking, and tracking boards in real-time, ensuring higher throughput and lower operational costs.
