Summary
The objective of the project is to implement innovative technologies to enable the screening of wood strands, removal of unusable wood dust, classification of remaining strands, and then directing of strands with targeted moisture contents to either the surface or core layers by manipulating strand flow through the screening process. This technology will provide such control of classified strands and usable fines as to allow the mill to produce specialty designed engineered wood products on a single production line; something not done anywhere else in North America. This new line will also create the ability to produce one-of-a-kind specialty products, creating a greater diversity of Canadian oriented strand board products.

Program Purpose (French)
Le projet vise à mettre en oeuvre des technologies innovatrices permettant de présélectionner les lamelles de bois, d'éliminer les poussières de bois inutilisables, de classer les lamelles restantes pour ensuite les diriger, selon leur taux d'humidité, vers la couche superficielle ou la couche centrale en manipulant le flot de lamelles lors du processus de présélection. Cette technologie permettra à l'usine de diriger les lamelles classées et les fines utilisables de façon à produire des matériaux de bois d'ingénierie de spécialité à l'aide d'une seule chaîne de production, exploit qui n'a encore jamais été réalisé en Amérique du Nord. Cette nouvelle ligne permettra également de créer des produits de spécialité uniques, ce qui aura pour effet de diversifier les produits canadiens de panneaux de lamelles orientées.
