Wood-Mizer line of TITAN industrial saws

Thinking about efficiency? Find out the features and benefits of the TITAN line.

TITAN industrial equipment offers high yield, simple design, low-cost cutting tools that can process wood without sorting and bark removal. Wood-Mizer's industrial lines have proven their success in limited workshop space and low energy consumption. There are several key benefits of TITAN equipment that enable profit generation and significantly improve efficiency at high processing volumes.

Wood-Mizer's industrial teams offer a global service to implement custom processing lines. High-volume wood processing projects can be developed quickly, thanks to the teams' global experience in design, fabrication and installation at customer sites.

Benefit 1. Large log diameter - up to 45 cm

The TITAN line can process logs up to 45 cm in diameter, compared to most competitors' lines with a maximum limit of 35 cm. Larger diameter logs are cheaper and more timber can be produced from a single log. Sawmill owners are always looking for ways to reduce production costs. The TITAN line makes these savings possible by processing larger and therefore cheaper logs.

Benefit 2. No need to sort logs

The TITAN line can process logs from 15 cm to 45 cm in diameter without pre-sorting. Without the sorting equipment there is no additional investment, energy and personnel costs are reduced and the need for additional space to operate the sorting line is eliminated.

Benefit 3. No need to store logs

As a result of the absence of log sorting equipment, the TITAN line loading system is designed to operate without log storage. Since the TITAN line can process up to 120 m3 of timber in an eight-hour shift, the daily log delivery can be 4 trucks of 30 m3 each. A truck arriving every 2 hours can be unloaded directly onto the sawmill loading deck which can store up to 60 m3 of logs.

Benefit 4. No peeler required

Bringing massive savings in sorting, storage and production space, the TITAN line can also process logs with bark. This translates directly into savings in labour and energy costs, as well as saving the investment in a peeler.

Which saws are included in a TITAN line?

The TITAN line can be built in various configurations and can include vertical double saws, horizontal slitting saws, multi-blade circular saws and material transfer systems. Wide band saws use 75-150mm wide ribbon webs.

Wood-Mizer improves the TITAN line for efficiency and development, increasing cutting speed, reducing labour costs and building "smart" machines - by optimising hydraulics and engine power to lower the cost of operating the equipment without compromising functionality.

Features of TITAN equipment

Below are some examples of TITAN saws:

HR4000 and HR6000 horizontal cross-cut saws are produced in single-head or double-head configurations and offer the possibility to adjust the speed quickly according to the size of the plank within 0.3 seconds using an electric servo motor system. These machines are capable of cutting more than 20 planks per minute (depending on length) at a feed rate of 40 m/min. The saws use 100 mm or 150 mm wide ribbon saw blades with riveted or Stellite-tipped teeth.
Industrial Circular EG800 / multi-blade is equipped with 4 circular sails as standard, with the possibility to install additional sails. With 4 circular saw blades, the EG800 can process lumber up to 40 mm thick at a feed speed of up to 60 m/min, or cut beams up to 100 mm thick at a slower feed speed. The feed speed is adjustable on the EG800 circular saw. It can be supplied with 30kW, 37kW, 45kW or 55kW motors.
Optimised visual scanning systems can be applied to increase timber yield and quality. Wood-Mizer TITAN EA3000 Optimization Circular uses advanced camera scanning technology to achieve high accuracy and low waste when edging boards. The entire edging process is automated - from plank insertion to scanning and cutting. The circular can process up to 20 planks per minute.

Each Wood-Mizer TITAN line is designed to meet specific customer requirements optimally. This TITAN line installed at a wood processing plant in Poland includes the TV6000 double vertical saw with hydraulic log turning equipment (1), an MR3000 multi-blade saw with prism centering table (2), an HR500 horizontal saw, a log deck (3), a plank transfer deck (4), an operator platform (5), and a sawdust collector with conveyor belt (6) for the entire line.
