The aim of a feed system is to achieve optimum performance linked to best material utilisation and profit maximisation. In combination with the various rip saws supplied by PAUL, it is possible to develop a solution for every possible application.
Our feed systems are ideally suited for square-edged and waney-edged board material and are available in a wide range of equipment configurations depending on requirements. Fully automatic feeding systems with scanner provide optical detection of defects such as knots, cracks and other typical defects found in timber and automatically determine the optimum ripping combination.
Buffer storage and transport systems take care of seamless infeed, and so ensure minimal workpiece throughfeed times.

This model series is extremely versatile. The machines are characterized in particular by their universal application.
This model series is capable of machining wide-ranging material types including chipboard, MDF, hard fibre and plywood panels, plastics, cork, cardboard, laminate and OSB panels.

Sawing or hogging from the bottom against the feed is a basic construction principle of our multirip saws. This principle has also been adopted on the K34VARIO. Independent saw heads are individually positioned via the CNC control. Hogger units arranged ahead of the rip saws and the facility to move the tool heads into a parking position outside the cutting area ensure maximum flexibility in terms of strip width and number of strips. These flexible and variable tool heads have given the machine the name VARIO.

This model has been specifically developed for ripping and profiling curved bed slats. The panels are ripped and profiled in a single pass. This saves a number of work steps and achieves a major increase in output, so maximizing profits. Thanks to the curved arrangement of the feed rollers the K34G-OUR is suitable for processing curved panels with a bending radius of approx. 3–9 m into bed slats. The machine features a top and a bottom saw shaft rotating against the feed. Both shafts are designed for use with special profiling tools.

The heavy-duty high-performance PAUL SK series multirip saws are specifically designed for ripping panels (OSB, OSL, LVL and particle board) of up to 150 mm in thickness. The machines are available in opening widths of 900–2200 mm (wider models on inquiry) and can be equipped with either just a bottom or top and bottom saw shafts.

PAUL multirip saws are ideally suitable for incorporation into throughfeed panel sizing lines. They can be used for both longitudinal and transverse ripping operations. The feeding systems available range from the simple solution using an inclined roller conveyor with fence up to the fully automatic, highly efficient alignment station where each workpiece is aligned by means of cameras and image processing.

For many years the PAUL Company has been well known as a manufacturer of custom-tailored multirip saws. They are ideally suited for ripping, grooving and profiling of all kinds of materials, such as particle board, plastics, laminates, fibre cement, rigid foam and numerous other materials. Less well known is that PAUL Multirip Saws are also perfectly suitable for processing corrugated board or cardboard for packaging.
