Main application scenarios of horizontal band saws
Introduction
As an efficient and precise wood processing equipment, horizontal band saws are widely used in wood processing industries around the world. Its unique design and powerful functions make it the preferred equipment for many wholesale buyers.
1. Overview of horizontal band saws
Horizontal band saws are a type of equipment that uses a band saw wheel to drive a circular saw blade to achieve continuous cutting of wood. It has core functions such as removing the veneer at the bottom of logs and fixed-width sawing, and is suitable for processing a variety of wood materials, such as mahogany and pine. The core components of the horizontal band saw include patented technologies such as multi-size band saw wheel systems, clamping platforms and board cleaners. The rolling clamping device improves the processing accuracy of irregular wood, and cooperates with water cooling and wastewater recovery systems to achieve efficient production.
2. Main application scenarios of horizontal band saws
(I) Wood processing industry
Horizontal band saws are widely used in the wood processing industry, mainly in the following aspects:
Log processing: Horizontal band saws can efficiently remove the veneer at the bottom of logs, determine the processing benchmark, and perform sawing and width setting operations. Its maximum cutting width can reach 1300mm, the saw blade linear speed is 25-40m/s, and the processing accuracy error is only ±0.5mm/m.
Plate processing: In plate processing, horizontal band saws can achieve high-precision sawing to ensure the flatness and dimensional accuracy of the plate. It has high processing efficiency, the time for single-piece sawing is shortened to 8-12 minutes, and the plate yield rate is increased to 92%.
Special-shaped wood processing: Horizontal band saws can not only saw round wood, square wood, semi-circular shapes and other raw materials, but also saw various special-shaped wood. Its vacuum adsorption system can firmly fix the wood on the workbench to ensure the stability of the sawing process.
(II) Furniture manufacturing industry
Horizontal band saws play an important role in the furniture manufacturing industry, and their specific applications are as follows:
Solid wood furniture processing: Horizontal band saws are widely used in sawing of solid wood furniture (such as doors, windows, cabinets, floors, etc.). It has high processing accuracy, high processing efficiency of rubber wood joint boards, etc., and is simple and convenient to operate.
High-precision processing: The vacuum adsorption horizontal band saw machine firmly fixes the wood on the workbench through the vacuum adsorption system to ensure the stability of the sawing process. This stability has significantly improved the sawing accuracy and can process smoother and more precise boards.
(III) Shipbuilding industry
The application of horizontal band saws in the shipbuilding industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Large wood processing: Horizontal band saws can process larger and extra-long wood easily and labor-savingly, and the quality is also guaranteed. Its maximum sawing size can reach 250×300mm, and the distance from the saw blade to the workbench is 3~200mm.
Efficient sawing: The hydraulic feeding speed of the horizontal band saw machine is 0-18 meters per minute, which can meet the shipbuilding industry’s demand for efficient wood processing.
(IV) Construction industry
The application of horizontal band saw machines in the construction industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Wood processing: The horizontal band saw machine can efficiently process construction wood to ensure the dimensional accuracy and quality of the wood.
Special-shaped wood processing: The horizontal band saw machine can process various special-shaped wood to meet the construction industry’s demand for special-shaped wood.
(V) Other industries
Horizontal band saw machines are also widely used in other industries, such as:
Insulation material processing: The horizontal band saw machine can be used for longitudinal cutting of insulation materials.
Wood peeling: The horizontal band saw machine can be used for wood peeling operations.
3. Advantages of horizontal band saw machines
Horizontal band saw machines have the following advantages:
Efficient: The hydraulic feeding speed of the horizontal band saw machine is 0-18 meters per minute, which can meet the needs of efficient processing.
Low consumption: The horizontal band saw adopts a labor-saving and material-saving design, with a small sawing path, smooth board surface and good finish. Compared with traditional vertical saws, it can save 4-5mm sawing path and work error materials for each board.
Intelligent: The horizontal band saw adopts worm gear reducer intelligent positioning to reduce the board opening error.
Environmental protection: The horizontal band saw adopts water cooling and wastewater recovery system to achieve environmentally friendly production.
4. Market supply of horizontal band saw machine
The market supply of horizontal band saw machine is rich and diverse. The main manufacturers include Foshan Shunde Lunjiao Zhengrui Woodworking Machinery Factory, Beijing Hengdali Hardware Machinery Co., Ltd., Chengdu Huakuai Woodworking Machinery Co., Ltd., etc. The mainstream models in 2025 include MJ3971Ax450 (quoted at 42,000 yuan), digital MJ6171*400 (quoted at 58,000 yuan), etc. In the second-hand equipment trading market, the average price of light horizontal band saw machine produced in 2018 is 590 yuan, and the value retention rate of fully automatic models exceeds 65%.
5. Future development of horizontal band saws
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the performance and functions of horizontal band saws will continue to improve. Future development directions include:
Intelligence: Horizontal band saws will be equipped with more advanced intelligent operating systems to reduce the requirements for the technical level of operators.
High precision: Horizontal band saws will adopt more advanced saw wheel manufacturing core technology to improve sawing accuracy.
Multi-function: Horizontal band saws will have a wider range of processing capabilities to meet the needs of more industries.
Conclusion
As an efficient and precise wood processing equipment, horizontal band saws are widely used in wood processing, furniture manufacturing, shipbuilding, construction and other industries. Its unique design and powerful functions make it the preferred equipment for many wholesale buyers.
