Description
The lumber destacking lines, also known as automatic wood board destackers, are high-performance industrial systems designed to ensure a continuous, controlled and efficient feed of timber into different stages of the production process. Starting from wood packages, kiln-dried stacks, pallets or freshly sawn bundles, these systems prepare and separate the boards with precision, maintaining a stable workflow throughout the sawmill.
Layer-by-Layer Automatic Destacking
Equipped with tilting units, lifting mechanisms and layer-extraction modules, Bartly destacking lines automate the separation of boards and deliver a steady, uniform feed to multirip saws, edgers, moulders, grading lines or other processing stages. Their smooth and synchronised operation helps maintain high production rhythm and prevents irregularities in timber flow.
Automation and Reduced Manual Handling
Automation significantly reduces manual work, enhancing operator safety and improving the accuracy of board positioning. These lines can include automatic stick removal, board detection sensors and electronic synchronisation with downstream equipment, ensuring full integration and uninterrupted production.
Performance and Adaptability in Industrial Environments
Designed to handle various board dimensions, thicknesses and wood species, these systems combine structural strength, reliable mechanics and low maintenance requirements. Their reinforced industrial construction offers dependable performance even in demanding, high-capacity sawmill environments.
Custom Engineering and Seamless Integration
Bartly destacking lines are engineered following the “industrial custom to fit” concept. Irmach adapts each system to the customer’s plant layout, timber characteristics and production requirements, ensuring perfect integration whether for new installations or existing lines. The entire process, from engineering studies to final installation, is handled by the Irmach technical team to guarantee safety, reliability and optimal efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bartly Destacking Lines
How does layer-by-layer automatic destacking work?
The system uses lifting and extraction mechanisms to isolate each layer of the timber stack, allowing controlled separation of the boards and ensuring a stable feed to the next processing stage.
Can Bartly destacking lines be integrated into existing systems?
Yes. Bartly solutions are modular and adaptable, allowing seamless integration with existing sawmill layouts while maintaining full synchronisation with current equipment.
What maintenance is required?
Maintenance is mainly preventive and includes periodic inspection of sensors, mechanism cleaning, conveyor checks and alignment verification. Thanks to their reinforced design, intervention needs are minimal.
