ABSTRACT:
A feed system with improved preposition is shown and describe wherein a prepositioning stage is located vertically above a feed stage such that movement of a wood product from the prepositioning stage to the feed stage corresponds to movement of the wood product through a transfer path having orientation corresponding to that of the height dimension of the wood product. This prepositioning configuration provides relatively more efficient movement of the wood product along its transfer path from a prepositioning stage to a feed stage as compared to prior methods where the transfer path is horizontal and the wood product moves in a direction corresponding to its relatively greater width dimension. The vertical orientation of the transfer path as provided by a prepositioning stage above a feed stage also allows for more efficient sequencing of mechanical events within the system to further contribute to improved productivity. The system illustrated thereby maintains the complexity and yield advantages of modern wood processing equipment, but improves the productivity in terms of overall piece count capability of the system.
