"Our LICO Merchandising System has been running more than a year now and has far exceeded our expectations. The LICO DEL select rip saw and Merchandising System allowed us to combine our lumber grading and ripping processes for lumber coming out of the kiln, replacing 3 optimized gang rip saws, a roughing planer, and grading line. The system streamlined our operations - resulting in greater production, quality control, better yields, and significantly increased labor efficiency, while eliminating any over processing or double handling. The best part of the system is its unique ability to easily and precisely process each individual board into the product that maximizes its value. At a rate of a board every two seconds, the impact on our “bottom line” has been huge - our return on investment has been much faster than we expected. We highly recommend the LICO team and their machinery.”
Jesse Joyce, Middle Tennessee Lumber
“Our LICO DEL select ripping system and EMP automatic stacking system have been an excellent addition to our flooring mill. Our LICO system has enabled us to increase production; decrease labor; and easily control our final product mix, quality and yield to maximize our profitability. We have had the LICO systems running long enough now to accurately measure the results; we have had a substantially faster return on our investment than the 2 years we originally estimated. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend the LICO ripping and stacking systems.”

“Our LICO DEL ripping system has made significant improvements to our ripping volumes, yields, and flexibility. Now we can easily produce the product mix we want all while getting the very best possible rip yields. The LICO system is perfect for flooring; it is fast, well built and reliable.
We highly recommend the LICO DEL ripping system.”

"We have been running our LICO DEL select rip system for 3 years now virtually trouble free. We average more than 70,000 board feet over 8 hour shift and get nearly a 90% rip yield ripping only 2-1/4" and 3-1/4" strips. We liked our LICO rip saw so much, last year we installed a LICO EMP automatic stacking system to stack the 2-1/4” strips following the rip saw. With it, we greatly reduced our labor costs and now we run our entire LICO system with only 4-5 people, plus a
forklift driver."
