Trimmer optimizer double duty?
November 6, 2015 - Tight capital budgets and space constraints can challenge optimization project ROIs. One sawmill took a different approach, asking its trimmer optimizer to upgrade the flow from both the sawmill and planer mill. As part of a recent upgrade, JD Irving’s mill in Ashland, Maine wanted to reduce capital costs, leading to a flow that processes both rough green and dry lumber on the same trimmer optimizer and sorter line.
