Mida
has developed planers for planing wood on 1, 2, 3 or
4 faces. Mida planers can be had as single-sided thicknesser
or as an edger, even with multi-blade rip-saws. But
it is with its 4-sided planers that Mida has been making
its mark. Several hundred machines are operating in
North-America already. - The feed system
is composed of 11 motorized feed rollers, located on
top and bottom of the machine, with automatic extraction
of the wood at the out-feed. No idle rollers.
- Plane
wood from 12 x 80mm (1/2 x 3 in.) to 500 (depending
on the model) x 300mm (20 x 12 in.).
- MIDA's patented SFS system
(Sychronized Feeding System) keeps a uniform amount
of cuttermarks and avoids strain between the table
and the cutterhead, even with the hardest wood.
- Plane and profile in one pass. You can put profiling
tools on the vertical spindles and corrugated profiling
knives on the top spindle (optional for the Dynamic
model).
- Combines the advantages of 4-sided planers and
those of a moulder.
- Wood processing jobs such as roof structures
have never been easier!

ARE YOU READY FOR THE PRIMA-4? Plane,
profile and even saw in one pass.
This latest offering from MIDA weighs a respectable 7
tons. Everything on this machine is huge and oversized;
from the feed rollers to the columns, it is a massive machine.
As in all MIDA machines, simplicity is the key. The machine
is set up by means of electronic controls: you push the
button, and the machine does the rest. The fence moves
automatically with the right spindle, which speeds
the set up of the machine considerably. The chamfering
system will automatically adapt itself to the size of the
wood. The new PRIMA-4 is available in many versions, with
just 4-side planning, with or without automatic chamfering
and in two working widths, 500 mm or 700 mm. The horizontal
cutterheads come out and you can replace them with virtually
any type of heads available on the market. This versatility
is further enhanced by its 5th spindle at the outfeed which
can tilt up to 45º and can plane or profile at angles
never before seen on a planer of this size. This 5th spindle
can also accept circular saws up to 250 mm in diameter,
making the PRIMA-4 a machine for all tasks.
This new MIDA is still a mechanical entity, but as it
is a machine made for the 21st century, it can be serviced
on line, by means of a modem, and can have its software
updated or any self-diagnosis warning taken care by MIDA’s
technical centre.
