The Current River Mfg. Inc. StackMaster can stack 3,600 boards per hour, and the model 2 for high-speed production can stack 6,800 boards per hour. It will stack boards 36 inches to 60 inches long and from 3/8-inch to 4 inches thick and will stack from resaw, deduster, rang rip, end trim, conveyor and double notcher.
The StackMaster automatically installs cross-out boards from the boards it is stacking. It has auto setworks for different lengths of lumber. Multiple stacking methods come pre-programmed.
When a stack is finished, the StackMaster automatically loads an empty pallet from a stack of waiting pallets. It unloads finished stacks to an outfeed conveyor that holds two 60-inch stacks and provides continuous stacking while off-loading. Flashing lights alert workers when a stack is finished and can be off-loaded.
Pallet banding also is available, and Current River will custom-build a StackMaster. The company offers a one year warranty on parts and labor.
