Method and device for automatic packing of wood

摘要

A method of preparing wood for packing comprises: loading wood lengthwise into a conveyor system (5, 7); conveying the wood pieces one-by-one onto a loading hatch (9) in a predetermined orientation; when a wood piece is fully on the loading hatch (9), opening the loading hatch (9) and dropping the wood piece in the predetermined orientation into a measuring compartment (12); repeating the conveying and dropping process so that multiple wood pieces are stacked in the same orientation in the measuring compartment (12); and, when a required amount of stacked wood is within the measuring compartment, dropping the stacked wood pieces into a packing area.
