Globe Machinery For The Plywood Industry

GLOBE HAS SEVERAL DECADES of close involvement with the plywood industry, a tradition that continues today with a comprehensive machinery range capable of processing material from the dryer outfeed through to the finished products. This includes dry veneer stackers, press line and lay-up equipment, trim saw lines, patch lines, sander lines, specialty saws, and miscellaneous equipment such as stack turners and core saws.

THE GLOBE TRIM SAWS (known as "skinner saws" and "equalizer saws" in North America) have been a staple of Globe’s production since the early days of the plywood industry. They are normally part of a high speed trimming and grading line and they are proven as reliable and rugged machines. Globe saws in excess of forty years old are still in daily use cutting at speeds of 35 or more panels per minute. Over the years, the design has been constantly updated to maintain our position as an industry leader.

GLOBE SPECIALTY SAWS are unique in their abilities. Designed to produce a variety of sanded or textured finishes with edge and face profiling capabilities, these machines are also built to withstand tough, high speed production for many years. The sander technology employed in the specialty saws is also used to produce multi-head calibrating and finishing sanders up to 5 feet wide.

HANDLING EQUIPMENT for saw and sander lines includes vacuum feeders, panel turners and gradeline stackers. The design of these units are generally unique to the plywood industry. Our many years of experience in building this equipment has culminated in highly effective systems.

OUR PRESS LINE program is based on a partnership effort with well known press manufacturers. Globe has developed a full range of press loading and unloading systems including "one man systems" and "chargers" as well as the associated control and conveyor systems. Globe pre-presses are respected throughout the industry for their solid construction and the traditional globe glue spreader is still tough to beat for productivity and efficiency.

NATURALLY we take a particular pride in our program of equipment for the plywood industry. Our involvement in this industry, particularly the North American hardwood plywood and structural plywood sectors, built the foundation for the diversified company that Globe is today. Our reputation has been founded on the performance of this equipment and it is a reputation we are determined to build upon in the future.
