A woodyard crane handles the unloading and storing of logs at a pulp mill as well as the feeding of this material into the mill. The wood must be prepared for processing through sorting according to specifications on species, cleanliness and dimensions; organizing so that the mill can maintain a constant feed rate; and collecting reject material for disposal. If the raw logs or pieces of wood are not yet ready for pulping, the mill may also have to convert it into material suitable for pulping in processes such as debarking, sawing, chipping, and screening.
A Konecranes woodyard crane easily handles the unloading, storing and feeding of logs in a pulp mill. Designed to operate in all weather conditions, even high winds, these cranes minimize wood losses while minimizing energy, maintenance and labor costs. With three flexible, high-performance designs – the straight track portal, rotating portal and log boom – we can offer an ideal solution for every woodyard.
" Technology package available with the crane really was deciding factor for buying this crane. With the integrated scale system, inventory control should allow us greater degree of control and rotation. The log is the most important part of our process so we have to take care of it. We went to a mill and saw Konecranes crane still in operation after 43 years and has the fastest unloading time within the mill system. We want fast unloading, high degree of reliability and we want something to last."
Jared Banta, General Manager, Rex Lumber
