110 Equalizer
The Mereen-Johnson 110 Equalizer is a cut to length machine that trims and squares parts and feeds them straight into your moulder. As an automatic trim saw and part squaring machine in one, it uses servo feed belts with automatic electronic squaring to trim each part to an exact length and square it — then transfers it into the moulder. Paired with most moulders, this moulder infeed system turns two steps into one automated work cell a single operator can run.
The Model 110 Equalizer can be integrated with most moulders, creating a highly efficient work cell to trim parts to length and then automatically feed the parts into your moulder.

Features
Precision and Efficiency Redefined
The Model 110 Equalizer will increase production, minimize material handling, reducing part damage potential, with less labor. The moulder / equalizer combination cell can be operated by one person for increased profits and productivity.
- Servo controlled feed belts with automatic electronic squaring adjust for the accuracy you need.
- Integral infeed adjustable hopper for consistent production flow.
- Integral outfeed transfer to moulder offers high production, even on short length parts.
- Stretcher mounted trim motor, feed belt and hold down with unit adjust for fast changeovers.
- Adjustable beam is mounted on linear bearings and equipped with electronic position control integrated with touch screen interface.
How the 110 Equalizer Works
The 110 Equalizer sits ahead of your moulder and turns rough-length parts into square, exact-length parts fed automatically into the moulder:
- Load. Parts drop into an integral adjustable infeed hopper that meters them for consistent production flow.
- Square. Servo-controlled feed belts carry each part through with automatic electronic squaring, aligning it true before the cut.
- Trim to length. A stretcher-mounted trim motor (7-1/2 HP) on an adjustable beam — set by electronic position control from the touch screen — trims each part to an exact length.
- Feed the moulder. An integral outfeed transfer moves the squared, trimmed part straight into the moulder, with high production even on short parts.
The result is a moulder infeed system that trims, squares, and feeds in one pass — so one operator runs the moulder/equalizer cell, with less material handling and less part damage.
Applications
The 110 Equalizer automates the trim-and-feed step ahead of a moulder:
- Moulder infeed automation — trim, square, and auto-feed parts into most moulders.
- Cut-to-length — trim parts from 9″ to 96″ to an exact finished length.
- Part squaring — automatic electronic squaring for accurate downstream profiling.
- Short-part production — an integral transfer handles short lengths at high production.
- Single-operator work cells — combine moulder and equalizer into a one-person cell.
As a cut to length machine and part squaring machine feeding the moulder, it removes a manual handling step and keeps the moulder running.
Industries Served
The 110 Equalizer supports moulder-based production across:
- Mouldings — the core application: square, trim, and feed moulder stock.
- Custom Millwork — architectural profiles and trim components.
- Flooring — solid hardwood profile stock.
- Doors & Windows — component and profile stock.
- Furniture — profiled frame components.
Emerging applications: any moulder-based operation looking to automate infeed, cut labor, and reduce part damage.
