Cooper Machine Company in Wadley, Georgia has been building sawmill equipment for the pallet industry for decades. Cooper Machine has specialized in designing and building scragg mills for cutting low-grade logs into pallet stock.
Cooper is excited to announce that it is expanding its offerings to represent several pieces of MIT pallet machinery. In addition Cooper is also offering a variety of MIT heavy duty resaws with bands from 1” to 12”.
The three pieces of MIT pallet machinery that Cooper now provides to the pallet industry include a carousel block cutter to cut blocks for block pallets, a chamfering machine to chamfer and stack pallet decking, and a pallet trimmer.
Cooper’s carousel block cutter has ten clamping stations to make blocks. For cants up to five inches the manual regulation cutting head comes with digital measure. Block height can be adjusted from two inches up to eight inches. The block cutter comes with a 7.5 WEG head saw motor, a belt conveyor for outputting blocks, and a power and control panel. Cooper says that it can cut up to 90 blocks a minute.
The MIT chamfering machine functions with a manual lumber infeed onto the cartridge. The head has double cutters to chamfer the decking and is able to chamfer up to 25 boards a minute. It automatically stacks the lumber after chamfering.
Multi-head trim saws are popular in pallet manufacturing plants. The MIT multi-head trim saw models have from four to six sawing heads. They include a special flat 7.5 hp WEG motor on each head with mobile heads and band brakes for all heads. The saw comes with two lines of 81X chain with dogs and VDF for variable speed.
