Ever since the introduction of thin-kerf bandsawing in the 1980s and its growth in the 1990s, our industry has worked to reduce or hopefully eliminate the fine sawdust that was causing an issue on pallets. Oak Lake Machine, a new entry in the pallet machinery arena, is now introducing its OLM-800 deduster. It is designed to dedust boards from one, two, four, or six-head band resawing systems.
Oak Lane lists a number of features to its new deduster, including variable speed from 250-800 linear feet per minute, an hydraulic actuated bump gate, five hp 3-phase motors on brushes, a 10 hp three-phase hydraulic pack, and hydraulic forward and reverse feed. It reportedly adjusts to thickness changes in less than five minutes. It is U.S. manufactured using dodge bearings and American workmanship. Its standard material length is five feet with an option of up to ten feet.
