    摘要: A method and system for post-processing of engineered-wood fence pickets or similar fencing components. A post-processing line in the manufacturing factory or facility, or in a post-processing location, includes a special edge-sanding process and apparatus with one or more side sanders to treat the rough edges of the engineered-wood fence picket after sawing. The edge-sanding process produces a smooth side surface on the edges, significantly reduces the number of loose fibers and/or strands, and fills in and/or reduces void spaces. After sanding, the pickets on the belt pass through an apparatus for application of a primer to the processed picket edges. Acutely-angled limited fan sprayers provide complete coverage of the edges with primer at a particular coating thickness required for encapsulation and protection of the fence picket product. The limited fan sprayers may be positioned at varying angles and orientations with respect to the belt and pickets.
