FOREST BIOMASS RECOVERY PLANT

    • Saint-Quentin, New Brunswick

    The challenge

    • Recover a large quantity of downgraded logs unsuitable for sawmills.
    • Plant capacity: Up to 150 MTPH.
    • Handle hardwood logs up to 22″ diameter by +/- 10′-0″ in length.
    • Ensure that logs do not contain steel to protect the chipper.
    • The production line is installed at a height of approximately 10 feet.

    Our solution

    • Project completed in 2023.
    • The project consisted of recovering hardwood logs downgraded by the debarking and sorting plant using a set of equipment designed and manufactured by Vibrotech.
    • The first step of the project was to feed logs into an 8′-0″ diameter chipper to generate wood chips.
    • A metal detector was installed to prevent damage to the chipper.
    • Subsequently, the chips were sent to a screen to perform particle size separation.
    • The final step was to create an outdoor stockpile of the finished product.

    Results

    • The plant was installed within the planned timeframe.
    • The plant meets the client’s initial requirements.
