The majority of our sawmill equipment was purchased new in 1998 and is contained in 2 metal fabricated buildings, one is 150' x 180' x 24' & the other is 240’ x 40’ x 30’.
Equipment is comprised of a cambio ring debarker followed by the two primary log breakdown systems of a computerized carriage head rig and an optimized Mac Top Dog machine. In 2009, a state of the art optimized extended length infeed quad band primary breakdown was added. The new primary line allows for auto rotation, optimized skewing and slewing, as well as thinner kerf saws. All of this contributing to increased efficiency in raw material consumption. Cants are transferred to a Ukiah
10" x 54" thin kerf guided gang. Reman boards are transferred to a Hi-Tech optimized edger system.
Lumber then passes through a Hi-Tech optimized trimmer system prior to being segregated in a 50
bin sorter. As each bin is filled, the packs are then transferred to a Hi-Tech stacker to be stacked with strips for kiln drying or stacked solid for direct shipment.
In 2010, we have begun doing saw and knife maintenance in-house.
