Bandsaw Pallet Dismantlers
The PROSAW line of band dismantlers. Introductory paragraph here would be good.

PROSAW 1 Operator VersionProsaw Band Dismantler
A heavy duty bandsaw type pallet dismantler designed with economy in mind. The PROSAW and the PROSAW 15 band dismantlers have all of the features of our more expensive machines but utilize a fixed table design to eliminate cost. These machines have a heavy duty 60” wide x 84” long steel table welded into the frame of the machine which sets the blade 1.25” above the table surface. Both machines are standard as a two operator design and one operator versions are available upon request.

PROSAW Model AT-15Prosaw Band Dismantler - Model AT and Model AT-15
Well known throughout the industry as the best, high speed, heavy duty bandsaw dismantlers, the PROSAW AT and AT-15 offer both versatility and reliability. An electronically adjustable table positions vertically by simply turning a switch. This system is powered by a heavy duty electromechanical actuator and moves on a 4 post linkage system with weld in bushings – designed and built for a lifetime of dependability.

Model AT Table Components The adjustable table provides the versatility to dismantle pallets with 2”x 4” decking such as coil steel skids as well as selective board removal on nine block and European type pallets. The PROSAW AT and AT-15 are 2 operator machines.

Prosaw Band Dismantler - Model XP
Designed for extreme performance the PROSAW XP leads the industry in production capacity. The table has a lumber chute that allows recycled decking to drop onto a belt conveyor automatically. This leaves the operators with more time to pass pallets through the blade which means production! The table’s unique design supports the pallet better on the “pull” operator’s side for a smoother operation. And the exclusive PROSAW blade guard allows the pallets to rest on top thus providing the ability to process two pallets at a time for extreme production! The Model XP is a 2 operator machine but with the quick removal of a few bolts the machine can be operated by 1 operator.

Station Platers
Pallet Doctor - Workgroups Compatible
TSP-X model shown with RS54-60 table Two Models Which Provide Unique Solutions To Pallet Plating


Whether you need to add plating to each repair station, you want to plate pallets on-site, or your just looking for a low cost entry level plater, Pallet Doctor Station Platers can take you there.

Pallet Doctor Station Plater Model SSP
Bolt it to a table and plug in an air line and your plating pallets! It's the Model SSP, and it's our most economical means to plate pallets. A compact, rugged design allows this miniature powerhouse to plate any crack in a notched stringer. Imagine the benefits of providing each repair station with the ability to plate pallets. The Model SSP can eliminate presorting and unnecessary handling of pallets. And with it's air powered hydraulic system, the SSP is perfect for mobile and on-site plating.

Pallet Doctor Station Plater Model TSP
Model TSP Station Plater Think of it as the big brother to the Model SSP. The Model TSP offers all of the benefits of our smaller station plater with one major difference, a lightning quick four second cycle time. A two stage pump designed for heavy production requirements powers the TSP. It's energy efficient pump runs on 110 volt single phase which make the Model TSP's set up as complicated as plugging in a toaster.

When you add all of the benefits to the ease of use and low cost, the Pallet Doctor Station Plater line makes a lot of sense.

Trim Saws
The Optimax Mill Trim SawIf you need to end trim deckboards or stringers, new or recycled, PRS chain fed trim saws are the ultimate tool for you. OPTIMAX and Mini-Max end trim saws are simply the fastest, most productive, efficient, and safest way to end trim lumber.

At up to 2300 boards per hour the OPTIMAX saws can keep up with the highest of production demands. As fast as the operator can place lumber onto the saw, the machine can cut it. The lumber is brought into the saw with precision infeed chains, and cut off waste slides down a scrap chute away from the saw blade. After being cut, the lumber flows onto a discharge deck for stacking or conveying.

The Optimax Mill Trim SawFor the most demanding production requirements consider the Optimax Model MP. Every feature and function are designed for maximum production capacity. A 10 hp saw motor blasts through end trimming of hardwood up to 3” x 4”. The extended loading deck of the saw provides ample space for material to be conveyed onto the saw and the recessed length stops allow “hand over hand” loading of the feed chains. The incline deck of the saw provides positive convey of the lumber to and through the saw as well as increasing the output bin size capacity – all of which results in a production that is maximized!

The Optimax MP Trim SawThe unique design of these saws also provides optimization of each and every board. Four adjustable stops are standard equipment on the OPTIMAX saws (2 on the Mini-Max). As the operator places the lumber onto the saw the length stops help to optimize each board for maximum efficiency. And with the optional length sort system the OPTIMAX will also handle the sortation process.

The Optimax MP Trim SawBut best of all, its safety that makes PRS saws the industry's best selling reclaim saw. The unique design keeps the operator away from the saw blade. Add to this a completely guarded blade, and heavy duty hold down system, and you have one of the safest saws ever available.

The Mini-Max Trim SawIncrease your production and safety with an OPTIMAX or Mini-Max from PRS, saws that are simply a cut above the rest.
