The Newman SLB-3004 Log Shavings Machine is designed to produce quality shavings from logs and timbers. Logs are loaded into a stationary hopper and shaved by four 10-1/4? diameter cutterheads. Shavings are produced in both directions as the cutterhead carriage travels beneath the log hopper. Shaving thickness and length can be easily adjusted. The SLB-3004 utilizes an innovative Pitman Arm Drive System. The cutterhead carriage rolls on extra heavy duty standard off-the-shelf V-roller bearing units (3 per side).

Each V-belt driven saw unit is equipped with its own 7-1/2 HP (6 kw) motor. Feed rates are 20 to 60 cuts per minute. Saw blades are 18? (457 mm) in diameter. The machine can be extended to cut longer lengths. Saw units may be added or deleted. The machine has built-in 12? lumber and scrap conveyors. New wider lumber belts are also available. For ease in sorting different length material, opposing split lumber belts are optional. Digital saw position indicators are optional for reduced set up time. Saw scales are also available.

The Newman shavings machine will simultaneously process wood of varying width, thickness, and length. It is capable of producing shavings from material of up to 7" (178mm) thick and 23" ( 584mm) wide. The shavings machine will process wood slabs with bark on or off, scrap edgings, off fall blocks, scrap lumber, etc. The shavings machine is normally fed by a vibrating conveyor. Properly fed material is converted to shavings in a single pass with the shavings being discharged from the outfeed end. The shavings may be removed by a pneumatic conveying system or simply blown from the machine.

An electrically driven planer with computer controlled roll speed synchronization, cutterhead positioning, optimized speed control and touch screen operator interface, the PM-1600 comes standard with Quick Change Head (QCH) modular assembly, allowing for a variety of tooling. It is capable of feed speeds up to 3,000 fpm. The PM-1600 is available with an inboard or outboard profiler, an additional mid-roll to make it an eight-roll machine and a high quality finish module to make it a six-head model.
