The Pisani Ultra Olon 400 2A double upside-down planer is a great value machine for those who work with wood and need a precise finish on both sides of the piece. Being a used machine, attention must be paid to various factors to ensure that it is still in good operating condition, while maintaining an affordable cost compared to new.

Presentation and construction

Visually, the Pisani Ultra Olon 400 2A appears robust and massive, with a heavy steel structure designed to withstand intense workloads. The machine is characterized by two overlapping work surfaces that allow simultaneous processing of the piece in both the upper and lower parts, an ideal configuration for those who need to speed up production times.

Its work surfaces measure 420 x 2350 mm , guaranteeing a large and stable surface for processing even large pieces. The two planer shafts, 400 mm , are positioned above and below, allowing workpieces up to a maximum height of 120 mm . The overall dimensions of the machine are 2350 x 1200 x 1500 mm (length x width x height), while the total weight is around 1500 kg . This makes it an impressive machine, suitable for large-scale processing.

Technical characteristics

The Pisani Ultra Olon 400 2A features two separate motors for the upper and lower decks:

• The motor of the lower planer has a power of 3 kW (approximately 4 HP), sufficient to guarantee smooth processing even on more resistant woods.
• The upper planer motor, however, is more powerful with 5.5 kW (approximately 7.5 HP), designed to ensure a uniform and rapid finish.

One of the most practical aspects of this machine is the possibility of regulating the feed rollers on two speeds, allowing the operator to adapt the working process to the type of wood and the desired degree of finishing. This mechanism guarantees optimal control during the planing phase.

Procedure for use

Using the Pisani Ultra Olon 400 2A is relatively simple, but requires skill and attention. The piece of wood is inserted between the feed rollers which automatically move it across the two work surfaces. The two planer shafts remove excess material, leaving a smooth and uniform surface on both sides of the piece. Thanks to the two feed speeds, it is possible to choose faster or slower processing depending on the quality of the wood and the desired final result.

Accessories and combinations

Although this machine does not comply with CE standards, it can be brought up to standards, it is possible to adapt it with extraction systems for dust and chips, increasing safety and efficiency during use. Furthermore, it can be used in combination with other carpentry machines to optimize the processing cycle.

Mathematical formulas for optimal use

The advancement speed of the rollers can be adjusted according to the formula:

$V$

Where:

• V is the feed speed (in mm/s),
• C is the length of the piece of wood,
• t is the time taken for processing.

The optimal use of the machine also depends on the accurate adjustment of the planer shafts and the rotation speed of the blades, which must be calibrated according to the type of wood processed.

Maintenance

Being a used machine, maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity of the machinery. It is necessary to regularly check the condition of the blades and feed rollers, as well as verify the correct functioning of the motors and adjustment mechanisms. A good indicator of the quality of a used machine is the level of wear on the planer shafts and the presence of any signs of corrosion or structural damage.

How to evaluate if it is a good used one

To evaluate whether the Pisani Ultra Olon 400 2A is still a good purchase, you need to check:

• The quality of the engines and whether they have been overhauled.
• The efficiency of the feed rollers and the ability to maintain a constant speed.
• The integrity of the cutterblocks, which should be in excellent condition with no obvious signs of excessive wear.

Sectors of use and advantages of buying used

This machine is widely used in the carpentry and furniture manufacturing , where finishing on both sides of the wood is essential. Buying the Pisani Ultra Olon 400 2A allows you to save significantly compared to purchasing a new machine, without sacrificing the quality of workmanship.
