Description
The lumber sorting lines and wood board sorting lines from Bartly, manufactured by Irmach, are highly reliable industrial systems designed to optimise the organisation, grading and flow of sawn timber after the cutting stage. With flexible, advanced engineering, these lines allow for the automatic classification of boards according to length, width, thickness and quality, adapting to different production requirements and the specific needs of each sawmill.
Intelligent Board Sorting Systems
The Bartly range includes everything from basic dimension-based sorting solutions to advanced systems equipped with 3D scanning technology. Integrated sensors, cameras and measurement software analyse each board with high precision, enabling automatic separation and correct routing to the next stages of production.
Integration with Production Lines
Bartly sorting lines can be fed directly from the main sawmill line, from multirip saws, moulders, board stackers or from other stages of the process. They serve as a key automation component, ensuring that material flows efficiently and consistently. The box-sorting system automatically allocates each board to the appropriate output based on the collected measurements, significantly reducing manual handling and increasing productivity.
Automation and Production Control
These lines may include automatic box fill indicators, PC-based control interfaces and automatic emptying systems using lower conveyors. This configuration ensures smooth connection to stacking modules, packaging stations or other factory areas, allowing continuous, predictable and well-synchronised production flow.
Industrial Construction and Durability
Built from high-strength structural steel, Bartly sorting lines are designed for continuous operation in demanding environments. Industrial-grade components and precision mechanics guarantee long service life, reduced maintenance needs and stable performance, even in high-throughput operations.
Custom Engineering and Tailored Solutions
Every Bartly wood board sorting line is designed according to the “industrial custom to fit” concept. Irmach’s engineering team handles the entire development process, from the initial technical study to final installation, ensuring perfect integration with the customer's layout, timber type and required production rate.
