Engineered Infeed - Proven Performance
Infeed Equipment built for the demands of your mill.
A dryer is only as productive as the system feeding it. Westmill’s complete Infeed System is built on proven components and continuously refined through innovation — engineered to maximize throughput, minimize plug-ups, and keep your dryer running full, shift after shift. Feeding over 66 sheets per minute — reliably, consistently, and with the full support of North America’s most dedicated dryer team behind you.
Key Components Include:
- Infeed Chain Conveyor: Smart Indexing. Fewer Plug-ups. Auto-indexes each load to match feeding head spacing – reducing plug-ups, preventing sheet overlap, and protecting your veneer.
- Scissor Lift (Hoist): Heavy-Duty Capacity. Easy to Maintain. Supporting up to 26,000 lbs. of green veneer. Rugged, dependable, and built for easy maintenance.
- Accumulator: No Load Change Should Cost You Production. Keep veneer flowing uninterrupted during load changes.
- Vacuum Feeder: Less Labor. Less Risk. More Output. Virtually eliminates manual feeding – reducing repetitive strain injuries while keeping your dryer running full.
- Infeed Rollcase: Smarter Drive. Smoother Feed. Independent deck drives speed-match your dryer for consistent overlap timing – with a unique catch-up function to close gaps automatically.
- Electrically Actuated Infeed Tipple: No Hydraulics. No Headaches. Electric linear actuator replaces hydraulics entirely – accurate positioning at industry-leading feed rates.
- Hydraulic Power Unit: Right-Sized. Ready to Work. Precision-sized to power your Scissor Lift with accurate proportional valve control and cold-climate heating options.
