Foot reducer

The SGM butt reducer is a complementary machine to the debarker, designed to prepare logs by reducing their butt to a cylindrical shape. This operation greatly facilitates the routing and introduction of the wood into the subsequent stages of its transformation process. How it works : The butt reducer is equipped with an articulated chain that allows the wood to turn on itself, so that the knife-equipped base can machine the tree's butt into a cylindrical shape. An ejection system then feeds the wood back into the production flow. Advantages : -Optimum preparation: Ensures perfect wood preparation prior to debarking and sawing. -Ease of handling: Cylindrical logs are easier to transport and handle. -Increased productivity: speeds up operations upstream of the production line. -Adaptability: Adapts to different log diameters and lengths. Technical specifications : -Maximum reduction diameter: 1500 mm -Maximum ball length: 15 m -Number of knives: 40
