Log Handling and Chip Storage
Online Course Description:
The raw material for pulping, wood, is received, stored and processed in a largely outdoor area of the mill called the woodyard. Wood may be received as whole logs, or as wood chips. While the operations performed in the woodyard are apparently quite basic, how well they perform is quite important to the successful operation of the pulp mill. Mistakes made in the woodyard can have a significant overall economic impact. This module describes the three major operations in the woodyard: removal of bark, chipping or grinding of logs into smaller pieces, and storage and retrieval of chips.
