GNS Grading and Nesting
HASKO Grading and Nesting Systems are designed to create a modern, less labor-intensive method of handling the flow of strip and plank flooring as it exits the end-matching system, as well as the grading, nesting, and shipping of the final product. Through automation and a touch-screen interface, a single station possesses sufficient capacity to grade, nest, and record an abundance of data for about 5,000 square feet of random-length flooring per shift. Depending upon the production rate and configuration of the GNS system, labor reductions of 3 to 15 people are possible.
The number of stations is custom-designed according to plant output goals. Systems range from three to ten stations with automatic strapping and automatic bundle stacking.
Application
With one operator, the HASKO GNS System can grade, nest, and tally random-length, solid or engineered plank flooring in excess of 500 square feet per hour, per station.
