ABSTRACT:
A board separator apparatus for separating boards from groups of boards is described. The separator apparatus includes an input conveyor for feeding the groups of boards in a vertical position longitudinally into a transfer box, which is pivoted to transfer the boards onto an elevator member in the separation means. The elevator member lowers each group of boards into a separation position where they are held by a pressure plate against separator arms. The separator arms are moved outward into three different separator positions, thereby selectively causing three boards in a group to be moved one at a time off of the elevator into a separated condition. The separated boards slide down a ramp from the elevator member onto an output conveyor which transports the boards laterally away from the separator in a horizontal position. The boards are fed onto the output conveyor with the wane side of the boards facing up when such boards are cants cut from the side of a round log. These cants are thereby separated and oriented in position to be fed into a resaw section which detects and removes the wane portions of such cants.
