PRODUCTION LINE

Log Processing

Tandem and edging saw lines

Log processing is the first link in the facility. Incoming logs are measured, taken in and broken down into timber on high-throughput tandem and edging lines. In the toll model the logs are yours; the line and technical team are ours.

Log Processing
HOW THE LINE WORKS

How material moves through this line

01

Intake and measurement

The incoming batch is recorded by species and diameter class, and graded.

02

Tandem sawing

The tandem line breaks the log down into its main sections in a single pass, keeping waste to a minimum.

03

Edging

Edging squares up the sides and raises the proportion of usable section.

04

Sorting

The resulting timber is sorted by grade and size, then sent to the next line or to the kiln.
