How to increase revenues by lifting the quality of the wood chip side stream in sawmills?

As demand for quality wood chips increases at pulp mills across the globe and the sourcing of logs in some regions becomes more difficult, the wood chip side stream at sawmills can often be a significant revenue source. This means sawmill operators have a genuine opportunity to fill the gap by supplying wood chips to pulp mills. However, top quality chips are key.

To ensure the production of quality chips at sawmills located across the globe, ANDRITZ mission in the supply of chipping technology is to always work to improve chip quality, reduce operational costs, increase uptime and maintain consistency of output – all in the safest of environments.

ANDRITZ sawmill products include debarking and chipping equipment, including its PowerHead canter and the well-known TurnKnife system. This equipment is in use in sawmills all around the world – operating on various wood species in a variety of climates.

In this podcast we talk to two ANDRITZ experts, Andreas Henning, Global Product Group Manager, and Adrian Yeoman, Customer Service Manager for Australia and New Zealand, about how sawmills can open up new revenue streams by utilizing the very best in chipping technology.
