Please,  if interested 

Please note that milling speed greatly depends on:

• Motor power (machine with more powerful motors will be more productive);
• Wood species density (hardwood is harder to mill, frozen wood maybe harder to mill);
• Wood reduction (how much wood needs to be turned into the waste by the chipping cutterheads);
  Please consider:
     when milling 6x6" from 11" log then the machine has to remove about 2.5" on each side of a log;
     when milling 4x6" or 4x4" from 10" log then the machine has to remove about 3" each side of a log;
     so the machine can go slower when needs to remove thicker or harder layer of wood fiber.
     How much wood % you want to turn into waste? 
     What is your target recovery % from logs?
• Number of saw-blades installed (more saw-blades = more wood resistance = more power required);
• Condition of the saw-blades and cutters (dull tooling does not work, right angle for the saw-blades theeth and knife tips is also important);
• Infrastructure & waste management;
• People (yes, people matter as knowledgeable, responsible, caring personnel is one of keys of the success and trouble free operation);

What about productivity of the LogRipper-200X & 200XP?

Let's consider 3 scenarious:

1. milling  6x6"x10ft = 30 board feet per piece.  150x150x3000mm = 0.0675 cubic meterper piece;
2. milling  4x6"x10ft = 20 board feet per piece.  100x150x3000mm = 0.045 cubic meterper piece;
3. milling  4x4"x10ft = 13.3 board feet per piece.  100x100x3000mm = 0.03 cubic meterper piece;

• Lets assume the LogRipper works 45 minutes per hour during 8 hours workshift = 360 min/workshift (some time maybe needed for the tooling change, cofee breaks, etc);
• If we assume that the logs are fed butt to butt into LogRipper-200X or 200XP working with average speed 20ft/min (6m/min) and it can mill 1-2 such logs per minute then it is 360-720 pieces per workshift;
• So LogRipper-200X or 200XP can mill:

1. 6x6"x10ft 1-2 pcs/min = 360 to 720 pcs per workshift = from 10,800 fbm to 21,600 fbm (24.3 - 48.6 cubic m);
2. 4x6"x10ft 1-2 pcs/min = 360 to 720 pcs per workshift = from 7,200 fbm to 14,400 fbm (14.4 - 28.8 cubic m);
3. 4x4"x10ft 1-2 pcs/min = 360 to 720 pcs per workshift = from 4,256 fbm to 8,512 fbm (9.6- 19.2 cubic m);

• Please note:
• The actual speed depends on few factors (see these consideratoins above);
• Other profiles can result in significantly smaller production numbers.
• Please, watch videos on our YouTube channel to understand what to expect in real life situations.
   

What about productivity of the LogRipper-300?

• Let's assume one needs to mill 10x8" (350x200mm) squares;
• 10x8"x20ft = 133.33 board feet.   250x200x6000mm = 0.3 cubic meter;
• If we assume that the logs are fed butt to butt into the LogRipper-300 and it works 45 minutes per hour during 8 hours workshift = 360 min/workshift (some time maybe needed for the tooling change, cofee breaks, etc);
• Then LogRipper-300 working on average speed 20ft/min (6m/min) can mill 0.5-1 such logs per minute = 180-360 pieces per workshift;
• It means that LogRipper-300 theoretically can mill per workshift:
  • from 24,000 to 48,000 fbm what is 180-360 pcs 10x8"x20ft per workshift;
    or
  • from 54 to 104 cubic meters what is 180-360 pcs of 250x200x6000mm per workshift;
• Please note:
  • These numbers make sence only for the 10x8".
  • The actual speed depends on few factors (see these consideratoins above);
  • Other profiles than 10x8" can result with significantly smaller production numbers;
