Part 4 of a 4-part series – As seen in the January/February issue of Timber Processing. Before reaching the kiln, the sawmill provides the first opportunity in lumber processing to recognize benefit from today’s advanced moisture sensing technologies. Designed to optimize lumber recovery factor, moisture systems are giving sawmills the necessary tools to quickly identify…
Read MorePart 3 of a 4-part series – As seen in the December issue of Timber Processing. Once kiln-dried lumber reaches the planer, mills have one final opportunity to optimize board moisture before their product is sent to customers. Today, using advanced moisture-sensing technologies, mills can utilize their planer to improve overall productivity, enhance grade recovery…
Read MorePart 2 of a 4-part series – As seen in the November issue of Timber Processing. Through all the phases of a lumber mill, controlling moisture is key to producing a quality end product. Ironically, despite being where moisture is altered the most, kilns are also often the most overlooked. West Fraser’s Thermal Energy Supervisor…
Read MorePart 1 of a 4-part series – As seen in the October issue of Timber Processing. There are hundreds of steps and machines mills use to produce quality lumber. It only takes one thing to unravel it all: moisture. Every phase of lumber manufacturing— the sawmill, kilns, and planer—runs more productively through accurate sensing and…
