RIP SAW OVERVIEW You can choose to optimize your material use or throw out money with the waste. Kentwood multi-rip saws represent industry-leading solutions tailored to help you successfully optimize the use of all raw materials. Specified to meet your unique production requirements, the high-performance Kentwood multi-rip saws optimize materials and manpower and minimize costs. Kentwood offers a rip saw to make the most of every ripping operation and deliver precision cuts with limitless application possibilities. Enhanced with available automated infeed and outfeed systems employing motorized infeed rollers and servo fences, pneumatic alignment systems, laser blade position indication and proven optimization software, Kentwood offers the most productive line of multi-rip saws available in the industry today. The design of the dip chain on the Kentwood machines sets them apart from the competition, providing unmatched feed speeds, while maintaining glue line tolerances at high speeds. In addition, the chain design requires less lubrication; therefore, fewer residues gather, promoting a cleaner, safer work area. The machine control continuously monitors the oil pump and alerts the operator if the pump runs low on oil or malfunctions, minimizing overall damage to the feeding unit. Bringing these standard features to a wide variety of machines, ranging from entry-level to high-volume industrial producers, and offering the appropriate level of automation for each, the Kentwood multi-rip saws represent the best value in the industry.
