PM-1200 Mid Speed Planer Matcher
Smaller Planer Mills have been ignored by the Large Mill demands for Faster, Faster, Faster. The 3,500 FPM Production Rate is way beyond the requirements of the majority of small mills who need to run at a steady 1,000 to 1,200 feet per minute for one or two shifts 5 days a week.
The PM-1200 Mid Speed Planer Matcher comes equipped with an Overhead Tensioning Feed System that provides smooth efficient feeding with butted or gapped lumber. Add in the Optional Wolftek Dynamic Tensioning Controls for higher speed performance up to 1,800 fpm.
All cutterheads are interchangeable between all spindles, top, bottom, right or left. With Quick change spindles and hydraulic locking cutterheads, tool changes can be accomplished in approximately 15 minutes per spindle.
