Tong Loader

PLC Inc’s Tong Loader heralded a revolution in sorting and loading throughout the world and Acora's proud to bring this unique piece of equipment to Australian sawmills.

The Tong Loader is now manufactured under licence in our Eden workshop to our own exacting standards for Australian conditions, using locally sourced metric components.

We now have eleven units in operation and there are over 400 operating world-wide. The cam-driven Tong Dog design can handle the most difficult sorting operations, at speeds up to 288 lugs per minute. Guaranteed lug fill provides optimal shift production.
