We provide engineering services for all aspects of woodyard work, from log handling and processing, chip handling and processing, through to hog fuel systems and sludge processing. Recent projects have focused on optimizing fiber use by reducing waste and increasing pulp quality.
Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Monticello, Mississippi
Long-log receiving, debarking and chipping facility
This 140 cord/hour long-log receiving, debarking and chipping facility was one of four similar installations (the others were at Georgia-Pacific's mills at Crossett, Arkansas, Port Hudson, Louisiana, and Brunswick, Georgia). Sandwell provided detailed design and procurement services for the four installations, with an emphasis on common equipment, economies of scale and standard design.
Virginia Fibre Corporation, Amherst, Virginia
Long-log receiving, debarking and chipping facility
In preparation for a future expansion, and to lower fiber costs, the mill installed a new 75 cord/hour long-log receiving, debarking and chipping facility, including stackout, reclaiming, screening, digester feed and bark handling systems. Chip uniformity is controlled by a gyratory screening system, which will enhance digester performance and optimize fiber use.
Avenor Inc. Gold River, British Columbia
Chip thickness screening system
The state-of-the-art chip thickness screening (CTS) system at this bleached kraft pulp mill is configured in two lines and housed in a new building. Processed chips are stored in silos, then fed to the continuous digester.
