Introduction to the Bottom Plate Machine
(Feed Width: 914mm | Effective Working Width: 850mm)
This specification of Bottom Plate Machine (also known as a pallet panel machine or deck board assembly machine) is an automated device designed for producing wooden pallet deck boards. Its core function is to arrange pre-cut wooden slats (typically called "deck boards" or "slats") at preset intervals and orientations, then assemble them into pallet deck panels via nailing (or occasionally gluing).
Key Specifications
1. Feed Width: 914mm
Maximum width of individual slats the machine can process.
Supports slats ≤914mm wide (common widths: 100-200mm).
2. Effective Width: 850mm
Maximum width of the finished deck panel.
Note: The 64mm difference (914mm - 850mm) accommodates mechanical components and clamping systems.
Workflow
1. Slat Feeding: Slats are loaded manually/automatically.
2. Alignment & Spacing: Slats are precisely spaced and positioned.
3. Clampin: Slats are secured for nailing.
4. Nailing Crossbeams (perpendicular to slats) are nailed to form the deck.
5. Output: Finished panels are ejected.
Features & Advantages
High Efficiency: Produces 1-3 panels/minute.
Precision: Ensures uniform slat spacing and nail placement.
Labor Savings: Reduces manual work.
Flexibility:
Adjustable slat spacing and crossbeam positions (2-3 beams).
Accommodates various slat lengths (via tooling changes).
Reduced Waste: Minimizes errors.
Safety: Integrated guards (e.g., light curtains).
Applications
Pallet manufacturing plants.
Large-scale logistics/manufacturing facilities (e.g., automotive, food).
Pallet recycling operations.
Custom panel production.
