A purpose-built combined moulder and slicer for compound parquet producers who need both operations completed in a single pass. Where floor space and handling time matter, this unit does the job of two machines.
Typically chosen by
Parquet and engineered flooring producers needing to combine moulding and slicing in a single pass
Workshops looking to reduce handling time and floor space by consolidating two operations into one machine
Manufacturers stepping up output on compound parquet lines who need a purpose-built rather than adapted solution
Having both operations in one machine eliminates a separate transfer and set-up stage, which is the key efficiency argument for this unit over running discrete machines.
Working Width
180 mm / 230 mm
Two standard bed widths are available — confirm which suits your typical parquet blank size before specifying.
Feed Speed
6–40 m/min
The variable feed range accommodates both careful profiling at lower speeds and higher-volume production runs without changing machines.
Spindle Configuration
Up to 8 spindles (GNS-8S23)
Higher spindle counts allow more profiling passes in a single run, reducing the need for secondary operations on complex parquet profiles.
Higher spindle counts allow more profiling passes in a single run, reducing the need for secondary operations on complex parquet profiles.
Saw Spindle Speed Control
Optional frequency inverter
Variable saw spindle speed allows adjustment to suit different wood species and densities — useful if your parquet mix includes both softwood and hardwood blanks.
Motor Power (total)
Contact IWM for confirmation
Phase and amperage requirements should be confirmed with IWM before ordering to ensure your supply is adequate.
Machine Dimensions
Contact IWM for confirmation
Allow additional clearance beyond the machine footprint for infeed, outfeed, and operator access.
Machine Weight
Contact IWM for confirmation
If weight exceeds 500 kg, floor loading capacity should be checked before installation.
Noise Level
Contact IWM for confirmation
If above 80 dB, acoustic treatment and hearing protection requirements under UK Noise at Work Regulations should be reviewed.
Extraction Requirement
Contact IWM for confirmation
CE / UKCA Certification
Contact IWM for confirmation
Confirmation of conformity marking is required for legal use in UK workshops.
Your production is focused specifically on compound parquet and you want a machine built around that process rather than a general-purpose moulder
You need moulding and slicing in a single pass and want to eliminate a separate operation and the handling that goes with it
Floor space is a constraint and combining two functions in one footprint is a practical requirement
You are scaling up a parquet line and need a purpose-designed unit rather than adapting existing machinery
Consider an alternate model if...
You need a general four-side planer and moulder for mixed timber profiles rather than a parquet-specific machine — the Soukup GS-423 or GS-523 or the Four-Sided Planer Model 180 PSE may be more appropriate
Your required working width exceeds 230 mm — the GL-645 planing moulder handles up to 450 mm width and may suit wider stock
You need a standalone moulder without the integrated slicing function — the GH-623 Moulder is worth considering
Your volumes or budget do not justify a combined unit — talk to IWM and we can help you assess whether two separate machines at lower cost would serve you better at your current throughput
