GN-6S23 Shortpiece Series 4-side planer & moulder

Gau Jing
A six-spindle four-sider built for short offcuts and components that would stall or jam a conventional roller-feed machine. Plane and mould in a single pass at up to 60 m/min, down to 120 mm piece length.

Typically chosen by

  • Joinery and moulding shops regularly running short offcuts or components that would stall a standard four-sider
  • Production workshops where feed speed is a bottleneck and 60 m/min throughput would make a measurable difference to daily output
  • Operations that need consistent surface finish across planing and moulding in a single pass rather than separate machine stages

Key specification considerations

Feed Speed
6–60 m/min
At full feed speed, material handling and tooling changes become the practical limiting factors — worth discussing your typical batch sizes with us before specifying.
Spindle Count
6
Six spindles allow more complex profiles to be completed in a single pass; the GN-5S23 is the alternative if your profiles require fewer stages.
Chain Feed Conveyor
Automatic, 3 m
The integrated chain-feed conveyor is what makes this machine suitable for short pieces — without it, short components are prone to tipping or stalling in a conventional roller-feed four-sider.
Working Width / Height
10–230 mm / 7–160 mm

Minimum Piece Length
120 mm
Minimum piece length is one of the most important specs to check when short-piece capability is the reason for choosing this machine.
Motor Power (approx. total)
Approx. 54 kW across 6 spindles
This machine requires a three-phase electrical supply — confirm capacity and available amperage at your site with your electrician before ordering.
Electrical Supply
Three-phase (confirm site amperage requirement with IWM before ordering)
Lubrication System
Centralised air-pressure regulation and lubrication
Machine Dimensions (L × W × H)
Contact IWM for confirmed dimensions
Allow additional clearance at the infeed and outfeed ends for the conveyor run and operator access.
Machine Weight
Contact IWM for confirmed weight
Cast-iron construction of this class typically exceeds 500 kg — check floor loading capacity before installation.
Noise Level
Contact IWM for confirmed noise data
Four-side moulders of this type typically operate above 80 dB under load — acoustic treatment or a designated hearing protection zone is likely to be required under UK noise at work regulations.
Extraction Requirement

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the GN-6S23 Shortpiece Series 4-side planer & moulder if...

  • Your production regularly involves short pieces or offcuts that a standard roller-feed four-sider cannot handle reliably
  • Feed speed is a genuine throughput constraint and you need the capacity that 60 m/min provides
  • You want to combine planing and moulding in a single pass to reduce handling and machine stages
  • You need the higher spindle count of the GN-6S23 over the GN-5S23 to achieve more complex profile work in one pass

Consider an alternate model if...

  • Your pieces are standard length and short-piece capability is not a requirement — the GN-5S23 or GH-623 Moulder may be a more straightforward specification
  • Your required working width exceeds 230 mm — the GL-645 planing moulder handles up to 450 mm width and may be more appropriate
  • You are running lower volumes in a smaller workshop where the Soukup GS-423 or GS-523 or the Four-Sided Planer Model 180 PSE may be a better-sized and more cost-effective choice
  • Your profile requirements are straightforward and do not justify the six-spindle configuration — talk to us about whether a simpler machine would serve you just as well
