Description
The automatic sorting lines for wooden stakes and posts by Bartly, manufactured by Irmach, are advanced industrial systems designed for the efficient handling, measuring, and automatic sorting of wooden stakes and posts after knot cleaning, pointing, or sharpening operations. These lines are engineered to ensure high productivity, dimensional precision, and continuous workflow, making them ideal for production facilities serving the agricultural, forestry, construction, and treated timber industries.
Automated Sorting Process
After leaving the knot-cleaning, pointing, or sharpening machine, the stakes or posts are automatically conveyed to the sorting unit, where they are measured and evaluated according to specific criteria such as length, diameter, or custom parameters defined by the client. Based on these measurements, each piece is directed to the appropriate destination, such as accumulation boxes, discharge conveyors, or subsequent processing sections.
Transport and Alignment System
The integrated transport system provides automatic alignment and rotation of each element, ensuring correct positioning along the entire line. The process is electronically controlled, allowing dynamic feed rate adjustment and full synchronization with downstream equipment such as stackers, packing robots, or treatment units.
Industrial Construction and Integrated Technology
Each line features a reinforced welded steel structure designed for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments, including outdoor installations and large-dimension timber processing. The integration of automatic measuring sensors, advanced electronic control systems, and custom software ensures high accuracy, reliability, and operational safety.
Customisation and Integration
Like all Bartly solutions, the wooden stake and post sorting lines are fully customisable (industrial custom to fit), allowing direct integration with existing production lines that include pointers, debarkers, or feed systems, or the design of complete lines from scratch for new facilities.
