Moorhead Perfect Log Rounder
The Moorhead Perfect Log Rounder was first designed and built in Australia in the mid 1990’s by Moorhead Engineering. Over the last few decades, the machines have proven their superior quality and durability in harsh Australian and New Zealand conditions.
Each machine is built individually to suit the client’s unique production requirements and setting, with a range
of available options to allow the machine to be portable or fixed, diesel or mains electricity driven, and size ranges pre-configured to suit your market.
Available in a choice of models to cater for logs from 90mm to 300mm in diameter, and up to 12 metres in length, depending on the machine. The Moorhead Perfect Log Rounder operates with a rotating head containing a set of innovative bent knives which peel and finish the log in one action: reducing tearing around softwood knots, and providing a superior finish. The knives are set into pre-drilled holes in a sizing ring in the rotating head, and a machine size change takes only around 20 minutes by an experienced operator.
A range of options are available with the machine including in-feed and out-feed decks, singulators and conveyors, built to suit your individual requirements. Several automated in-feed options are also available, allowing you to run your Moorhead Perfect Rounder with a single operator, in an era when labour is one of your most expensive and precious resources.
The Moorhead Perfect Log Rounders are built to last in tough Australian conditions with minimal maintenance, retaining the excellent finish quality they are renowned for.
