Description
The wood accumulators, also referred to as wood collectors, are industrial machines designed to optimise production flow in sawmilling and wood-processing lines. Manufactured under the Bartly brand, these accumulators allow the controlled, safe, and efficient accumulation, alignment, and discharge of logs or firewood, ensuring higher productivity and reduced downtime throughout the operation.
Engineering and custom manufacturing of wood accumulators
Each accumulator is designed and built to measure, according to the specific needs of each customer and type of operation. The modular structure allows full adjustment of dimensions, load capacity, and integration points, ensuring complete compatibility with other machines installed on the line.
Structural strength and efficiency for intensive use
Constructed from high-strength steel and engineered for intensive industrial use, Bartly wood accumulators guarantee durability, stability, and continuous performance even in demanding environments. Their reinforced frame and reliable drive system minimise mechanical stress, reduce maintenance requirements, and ensure consistent operational efficiency.
Accumulator functionality and operating principle
Wood accumulators provide temporary storage and controlled discharge of logs, regulating production flow and preventing blockages or overloads in downstream equipment. This controlled buffering ensures smoother line operation and maximises overall productivity.
Configuration options and customisation
Wood accumulators can be configured with:
- Infeed conveyor or motorised accumulation conveyor
- Modular structure adjustable in length and width
- Hydraulic lifting or tilting system
- Sensors and automatic load-control system
- Compatibility with automatic lines
Industrial construction and component durability
All models are built using high-quality materials, painted and treated against corrosion. Mechanical components are dimensioned for continuous use and reduced maintenance needs, ensuring long service life and maximum operational reliability in industrial environments.
Main applications in sawmilling and biomass lines
- Sawmill and wood-processing lines
- Post-cut accumulation
- Feeding of packaging systems
- Automatic biomass and pellet-production lines

Frequently asked questions about wood accumulators
What is the purpose of a wood accumulator?
A wood accumulator temporarily stores logs or wood pieces, regulating the feed flow of a sawmill or processing line. It balances production, prevents overloads, and helps maintain consistent workflow.
Are the accumulators compatible with other Irmach machines?
Yes. All Bartly accumulators can be integrated into Irmach automatic lines and connected to other sawmill machines, ensuring seamless compatibility and synchronised operation.
Can they be manufactured in different sizes?
Yes. Irmach manufactures custom wood accumulators, adjusting length, width, load capacity, and type of drive system according to each client’s operational needs.
Do the accumulators require frequent maintenance?
No. Thanks to their robust construction and high-strength components, Bartly accumulators only require periodic preventive maintenance, ensuring long lifespan and reliable performance.
