The Brunette Vertical Log Singulator (VLS) is designed to process logs from 2″-36″ diameter, lengths from 8′-72′, and speeds to 30 cycles per minute.
The Brunette Vertical Log Singulator’s face is precisely profiled for maximum separating efficiency in any depth of log pile, and this profile also reduces wedging forces when lifting logs from the pile.
The Brunette Vertical Log Singulator (VLS) contains the following features:
Operational
- The final log loading stage is driven and controlled separately for catch-up, plus is designed with a minimum drop into the take-a-way conveyor for quick loading, to eliminate log gaps and lost production.
- Feed speeds to 30 logs per minute (faster for stud machines), using variable frequency drives and a dedicated control system for operational flexibility.
- A steep log pile contact surface for optimal log alignment against the machine.
- Lifting arms closely spaced for positive log pick-up, even on randomly spaced short logs.
- Large height gains in a short distance, especially important in retrofit applications, or to save valuable building space.
- Upper and lower main arms are connected to produce a balanced machine, for reduced horsepower savings.
- Multiple machines can be installed side by side with no gap, for minimum space requirements.
- Loader frame designed for end support under bin walls, to allow unobstructed residuals clean-up below the machine.
- Custom units can be manufactured for special situations, such as stacking vertically to obtain greater lift height, ending rolls built into the final loading section, or supplied with tandem drives for alternating long or short wood operations.
Installation & Maintenance
- Standard length units shipped in one piece for minimum field installation costs.
- All drive components such as VFD’s, gearboxes, bearings and spherical rod ends oversized for long life.
- All main pivot points are double row spherical roller bearings, and all grease points easily accessible from the back for routine maintenance.
- Manufactured from heavyduty structural steel sections and thick plate for long life.
