A centering butt end reducing device designed for producing rounded logs with a long groove for blockhousing of the following diameters: 180; 200; 220; 240; 260; 280; 300 mm. The machine is equipped with two hydraulic actuators with elevated platforms for log lifting and adjustment (before fixing). A scraping (belt) conveyor for waste disposal may be mounted inside the frame. A hydraulic driven system of raw logs feed and finished product removal and a single-piece input system may be supplied additionally.
*Log lengths for basic configuration of OF-30C - 5950-6150 mm, we also manufacture custom lathes for other lengths (e.g. 4 or 5 m).

Lathe description
Sherwood OF-30C butt end reducer for log rounding and grooving consists of the following units: frame with mounted lifting units, fixed and fixing stocks with console points, moving carriage with a mounted rounding rotor, two smoothing units and a carriage drive.
The machine operates as follows. The carriage is set up in initial position at the fixed stock. A log is fed to the frame, then it is lifted by means of hydraulic lifting mechanisms and centered. The log is fixed by the fixing stock (hydraulic actuated), and the lifting mechanisms go down. Rotor rounding mechanisms, cutter drives and carriage feed drives are activated. The log is smoothed and surfaced in a single run. Feed rate may be smoothly adjusted during processing. After processing the log is released and removed from the machine. The run is repeated for the next log processing.
Increased capacity is due to:
* mechanized log lifting and fixing;
* single-run processing;
* electronic feed rate adjustment device;
* unique carriage moving units and rotor cutting units that allow high-speed operation.
Higher quality is due to:
* heavy and rigid frame of channel No 40;
* electronic feed rate adjustment device for changing of feed rate in accordance with cutting conditions;
* unique rotor cutting units for smooth surfacing at high speeds.
The machine is more reliable and convenient thanks to hydraulic and electronic devices.
Advantages in comparison with similar devices
High capacity, multi-purpose. Quality log processing in a single run.
Reduced labor input and doubled labor capacity. Better product quality.
Recommended OF-30C accommodation layout (with accessories):
- A log is fed to OF-30C by MVP 450 single-piece output. It is fed to the MVP device by any available means: from log hauler, conveyor, by a crane, etc.
- The log is processed on OF-30C lathe in a single run and removed from the frame by a return run of the carriage. The log is lifted by R30A-4 roller conveyor from the frame of OF-30C to the R32-6 roller conveyor and other machines in the line.
- Single-piece output and lifting roller conveyor and hydraulic driven and controlled from the OF-30C console.

Tools, commissioning and start-up
All machines are equipped with cutting tools. An additional agreement for commissioning and start-up may be concluded.
Wood processed
This
machine is designed for processing of round softwood and hardwood
trunks of 3rd grade and above as per GOST 9463-72; GOST 9462-71.
The machine consists of the following units:
