Baker Products Unveils Live-Ready Upgrades

New automation features designed to take your operation to the next level.

Baker Products is proud to unveil a new lineup of live-ready upgrades designed to bring automation, efficiency, and throughput improvements to existing and new Baker equipment. These upgrades were showcased at EXPO Richmond and represent the next step in our commitment to helping wood processors maximize their operations.

Tilt Hoist System

The new Baker Tilt Hoist system automates the log loading process, reducing manual labor and improving safety on the infeed side of your operation. Engineered to handle logs of various diameters and lengths, the tilt hoist smoothly transfers logs from the deck to the infeed conveyor with minimal operator intervention.

Key benefits include reduced labor costs, improved operator safety, consistent log presentation, and seamless integration with existing Baker equipment lines. The tilt hoist can be configured for a range of production capacities and log sizes.

Unscrambler

The Baker Unscrambler takes the guesswork out of log positioning. This automated system singulates logs from a bulk deck and presents them individually to the infeed, ensuring smooth, continuous operation downstream. It's an ideal companion to our resaw and scragg mill lines.

By automating the log singulation process, the unscrambler eliminates bottlenecks at the infeed, reduces the need for manual log turning, and helps maintain a steady production pace throughout the shift.

EXPO Richmond Showcase

These new upgrades were featured at EXPO Richmond, one of the forest products industry's premier trade shows. Visitors to the Baker Products booth had the opportunity to see the tilt hoist and unscrambler in action and speak with our engineering team about integration options for their operations.

Both the tilt hoist and unscrambler are available now and can be ordered through our online store or by contacting our sales team directly.

Whether you're running a single resaw or a complete mill system, Baker's live-ready upgrades are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing equipment. Our engineering team can assess your operation and recommend the right combination of upgrades to maximize your throughput and reduce operating costs.
