Technical ArticlesWith a century of woodyard installations under our belt, there's plenty of data showing how Acrowood equipment can improve a customer's woodyard process, result in better chip quality, reduce downtime and maintenance costs, and generally improve a customers' bottom line. We're happy to provide that information and case studies here for your review. Chip Thickness Screening and Chip Quality in the Pulp MillAn overview of the value of chip sorting in the pulp mill, and the effect of chip size in digester operations... Read More...Primary Thickness Screening Efficiency and Chip Size DistributionChip Thickness Screening (CTS) has proven to be a boon to pulp mill operations, reducing costs, improving productivity, yield and overall operational efficiency. How is all of this possible? And how can the chips be sorted? Read More...Overthick Chip TreatmentProcesses have been developed to selectively separate overthick chips from chips of acceptable thickness, and methods to render these large chips acceptable have been employed. These methods, and the resultant issues of processing efficiency, maintenance requirements, and cost, are explored... Read More...Fines Screening with Rotary and Roll ScreensTraditionally shaker screens have been used to remove fines, but their limitations have driven the development of alternative technologies, which now include roll screens. Their features and widened application are discussed... Read More...Pulping System Sensitivity to Chip QualityPulping systems vary in sensitivity to chip quality. Chip size distribution modification methods have been developed and applied to accommodate each system... Read More...Case Studies of Chipper Upgrades and ReplacementsCase studies are made involving whole log chipping on a grand scale, including studies of mills that chipped logs of a size rarely seen as pulpwood in the world today... Read More...The History and Progress of Debarking MethodsDebarking methods, their benefits and drawbacks, are thoroughly analyzed, including a history of debarking technology development...
