SERRA - Model Africa XE 135 / XE 160 - Sawmill for Heavy Logs

SHARE

Log band sawmill with extremely robust design. In Africa, machines need be more rugged. The woods are harder and heavier, and the trunks are thicker. This is why in 2005 we developed a sawmill with an extremely rugged design specifically for Africa: the Africa XE. The success of this model in Africa has also spread to other parts of the world. The XE is a popular choice for industrial roundwood processing, plant construction and as an additional machine for cutting extremely heavy timber.

Massive 20 mm thick steel supports connect two 300 mm high I-beams and form the torsion-free foundation for extremely heavy logs. Stainless steel supports prevent blue staining of acidic wood species (e.g. oak and larch) The powered hydraulics position the heavy strongwood. These allow for quick and easy loading, rotating, shifting and clamping. Your optimal round timber feeder supplies your XE with fresh wood. The ejector, chain rotator (XE 135) and log clamp turner ensure that your clippings are placed on the lateral unwinder, from where they are transported, for example, on roller conveyors through circular resaws or band saws. Or they can be feed to the rear board by board where they are received by a conveyor belt with a board cleaning unit. Take advantage of the services offered by our project planning team and let us show you the many equipment options we offer, and which we would gladly combine with your ideas! Standard cutting length 6 m. Special lengths upon request.

A massive professional saw head with variable blade tension, inclined saw head and all available extras. The blade tension is offset upwards by 70 cm (XE 135: 50 cm), space for the cuttings above on the saw blade. A clamping distance of 300 mm also allows the use of shorter saw blades for smaller log diameters. Hydraulic protective cover opening. 100 cm roll diameter for the XE 160 (XE 135: 80 cm). Sawblade width 150 mm (XE 135: 120/140 mm). High cutting precision.

Unlike the standard solution (similar to the Montana), we are offering various optional operating solutions that can increase your ease of use significantly. One available option is a standalone version, which is mechanically decoupled and only electrically and hydraulically connected to the sawmill. This prevents vibrations and shocks that may be transferred to the cockpit when loading and turning heavy logs. In addition, this can be comfortably integrated into a heated, self-built space behind the machine.   We also offer an ergonomic V-Cockpit with a comfortable leather seat. Upon request this is available with vertical (+100 cm) and horizontal (+/- 50 cm) movement in order to maintain a clear overview even with the the thickest of logs. We call this version the “pulpit”. With the V-Cockpit, all functions and screens are arranged for easy access.
