Currently, mill technicians operating conventional Long Log Strander Infeed conveyor systems, have very little control over log alignment.  The Carmanah ALIGNMENT Conveyor has the unique ability to align long logs and shingle feed them to the maximum height of the cutting chamber, thus achieving higher strand production and quality.

The system is designed with a series of rolls and lobes.  The lobes rise and fall through a steel bed plate with suitable slots profiled to allow the lobes to operate and minimize jamming.  The rolls and bed plate are supported by heavy steel framing.  As the rolls and lobes rotate, they advance and align the logs.
