PRS is proud to present the latest in the evolution of our ever popular Opti-Max trim saws – The Auto-Max!
Based in the latest technologies, and produced through two years of extensive research and development, the Auto-Max provides solutions to the most central issues of pallet lumber reclaim – optimizing of lumber and labor. With only 1 – 2 operators the Auto-Max can feed, scan, optimize, prioritize output end products, cut and sort multiple lengths/ widths/thickness categories – accurately and consistently at 3,000+ boards per hour. The lumber scanning technology accurately measure, in real-time 100-ft per minute, the width, length, and thickness of pallet boards and 2- and 4-way pallet stringers using one overhead scan sensor and one server computer. We know grading and sorting is important for manufacturing high-quality and longer lasting pallets. Manual grading and sorting is a slow, inaccurate, and difficult process. With presorting and optimized sawing of pallet parts can reduce processing cost and product higher grade pallet parts. Less demanding jobs with improved ergonomics means workers are less likely experience injury or burnout.
With pallet component scanning an optimization, this system scans, optimizes, and sorts rough or recycled pallet stock based on value or production priority.
This is the solution to the labor shortages this industry is experiencing. Automated trim saw systems help you do more with less, this alleviates physical exertion and requires less labor force.
