Veneer Slicers
- Production of decorative veneer at speeds of up to 90 sheets per minute
- Upstroke design allows for faster, safer knife changeover and easier offbearing
- Cast iron knife beam and pressure beam with hot air recirculation provides even temperature for slicing consistently smooth veneer
Vacuum Flitch Tables
Developed in cooperation with M. Böhlke Veneer Corporation in 1993, the patented Merritt vacuum flitch table has a proven track record of providing higher veneer yield.
MOREMerritt FlitchPrep™ System
Our newest machine, developed in response to industry demand, is the Merritt FlitchPrep™ System (patent pending). This flitch cleaner, introduced by Merritt in 2010, automates the manual process of cleaning veneer flitches prior to slicing, resulting in significant labor cost savings.
MOREVeneer Clippers
Merritt has decades of experience manufacturing veneer clippers for the production of rotary peeled veneer, with over 70 Merritt veneer clippers sold. Our rotary knife clipper is for direct clipping from the lathe or for reeling applications. Our guillotine-style knife clipper is for clipping stacks (or “books”) of veneer after grading.
MOREMachinery Upgrades & Rebuilding
Merritt offers machinery upgrades and rebuilding services, ranging from retrofitting mechanical gearboxes with digital servo motion control to complete refurbishment of machinery. When investment in new machinery is cost prohibitive, consider rebuilding to gain a competitive advantage. Retrofitting used machinery with new technology provides the benefits of innovation at a fraction of the cost of new machinery.
