Wood Fiber Company to Invest Big at Jubilee Sawmill

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): OneFortyOne- the leading wood fibre company that owns and operates sustainable softwood forests and innovative sawmills in Australia as well as New Zealand announced its decision to make fresh investments at its Jubilee Sawmill in Southern Australian region.

The company has decided to invest a sum of $16 million at the facility, thereby strengthening its commitment to the Green Triangle region.

The first of two new continuous drying kilns (CDK) was launched last week, in replacement of the old batch kilns. The new kilns feature a more efficient and environmentally conscious biomass fuelled system. As per estimates, the new kilns are said to be capable of drying 30% more timber by consuming 25% less energy.

Paul Hartung, General Manager, Jubilee Sawmill said that the new kilns operate nonstop, moving product through continuously and maintaining and ideal temperature. The kilns, powered by biomass, produce high-grade timber at less downtime. The sharing of heat between the two chambers makes operations possible without turning off the kilns, Hartung added.

Meantime, the second continuous dry kiln is under construction and is expected to be completed by December this year.
