LOG INFEED CONVEYORS

JAMEC designs and manufactures heavy-duty log infeed conveyors and log deck conveyors for demanding sawmill applications. These systems provide a steady flow of logs to downstream equipment, including log unscramblers, log feeders, scanners, debarkers, and primary breakdown lines.

Each log conveyor is custom-designed to match the mill’s log sizes, production rate, available space, and operating conditions. As a result, the system supports reliable log handling while reducing maintenance and unplanned downtime.

Reliable Log Feeding for Sawmill Operations

JAMEC log infeed conveyors can handle a wide range of log diameters, lengths, and weights. In addition, they feature high-quality welded steel chains that are fully heat-treated for greater strength and wear resistance.

Their heavy-duty construction makes them well suited for continuous operation in harsh sawmill environments. Moreover, their open mechanical design provides easier access to key components during inspection and maintenance.

Why Choose JAMEC Log Infeed Conveyors?

Designed for Your Log Diameter

Each conveyor is designed around the typical and maximum log diameters processed by your mill. Therefore, the system can maintain stable and controlled log movement.

Built for Your Log Length and Weight

Our engineering team considers the length, weight, and species of the logs being processed. The conveyor structure, chains, shafts, and drive system are then selected to support these operating loads.

Improved Log Flow and Production Efficiency

JAMEC conveyors deliver logs at a controlled rate to downstream equipment. Consequently, they help maintain consistent production flow and reduce interruptions caused by poor log accumulation or uneven feeding.

Custom Integration into Your Sawmill

Every sawmill layout is different. For this reason, JAMEC adapts the conveyor length, width, elevation, drive arrangement, and discharge point to your existing or new production line.

Low Maintenance and Reliable Operation

Finally, our log conveyors are built to provide easy access to mechanical components. Their rugged construction and proven components help reduce maintenance requirements and support long-term equipment reliability.
