I found "Stahlschlingensortieranlage" but I'm not too sure. Any ideas what might be the correct term in German?

Sortiermaschine


Explanation:
Take a look at this article: http://www.zeit.de/2007/06/Jetzt_wird_abgeholzt

"...Vorne rollen die schweren Fichtenstämme auf Laufbahnen heran, hinten kommen sie im Sekundentakt als fertige Bretter wieder heraus. Laut klappernd fallen sie in die Auffangkästen der Sortiermaschine."

Perhaps "Sortiermaschine" is enough.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Tadeusz, if there weren't drop-box sorters, edge sorters, slant-bin sorters and the like as well, I'd go for it ;)) Yes it's a sorting machine, but what's this *type* of them called in German?
