Sorting lines
Brødbæk & Co. offers a wide range of sorting systems for various applications. From simple sorting by width, length and thickness to a complete 3D scanning by length, width, thickness and quality sorting.
The sorting systems can be fed by the main saw line, profiling line, edging line or destacking line.
There are two primary concepts:
- Tray sorting, primarily used when the raw material is sorted logs.
- Box sorting, primarily used when the raw material is unsorted log, which will benefit from a higher number of sorting fractions.
Advantages of using tray sorting
The sorting systems can be fed by the main saw line, profiling line, edging line or destacking line.
Tray sorting is primarily used when the raw material is sorted logs.
It is possible to have more than 10 trays in a system. Each tray has the capacity of more than one wood pack.
It is possible to start filling a tray while it is being unloaded. In this way only one tray per dimension is needed. Trays are very suitable for timber which is difficult to sort and handle.
Systems up to 6 trays are unloading onto a waterfall singulator incorporated in the tray conveyor. If more than 6 trays are used, the trays unload onto a chain conveyor leading the boards to a singulator.
After the singulator the boards are fair-ended and delivered layer by layer to stacker or cross-cut saw.

Advantages of using box sorting
Box sorting is primarily used when the raw material is unsorted logs, thus a larger number of sorting allocations is required.
The sorting systems can be fed by the main saw line, profiling line, edging line or destacking line.
The system is equipped with push bar conveyor leading the timber into vertical boxes with hydraulic sinking pockets.
Each box has the capacity of more than one wood pack.
The contents of the pockets are gently unloaded onto a chain conveyor transporting the boards towards a stacking line.
Brødbæk & Co. has supplied many systems over the past decade; the size varying from 10 to 50 boxes
