Improve productivity by preventing pitch accumulation

Ellen Cools — Wed, 29 Apr 2020 20:33:24 +0000

Depending on mill equipment, log diet and time of year, pitch accumulation can become a problem for sawmills. The results can be downtime, down-graded lumber, logs that are out of sync with the set works and even logs that break equipment.

But through strategic equipment hygiene, sawmills can avoid this problem.

Join Supersaul Chemmex’s Samuel Scheideman for a FREE one-hour webinar on May 7 at 10 a.m. EST to learn more about the profit loss associated with pitch accumulation, how some sawmills have tackled the problem, and various methods to tackle pitch accumulation. He will also share use cases for Supersaul Chemmex’s products that eliminate the need to manually remove pitch from equipment and answer attendees’ questions during a 15-minute Q&A session.

Don’t miss your chance to learn more about the impact of pitch accumulation and how to improve your productivity! Register now.

Modern day mass timber has exploded in North America over the past few years, with architects and building developers across the continent calling for more, taller wood structures.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has risen to prominence within the mass timber family for its stability and strength. New CLT manufacturers are popping up across Canada, from east to west, to claim a share of the growing pie.

Join Canadian Wood Council’s Peter Moonen and Canada’s premier CLT manufacturers – Structurlam, Element5 and Nordic – to discuss the mass timber landscape in North America, and what the future holds for this segment of the wood products industry in Canada.

This FREE one-hour panel webinar is taking place Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. EDT (11 a.m. PDT).
