MCDONOUGH MANUFACTURING REPORTS RECENT ACTIVITY
Pike Lumber Co.’s new mill in Milan, Ind., started up the 1 st week
of January. The new mill includes a McDonough 6-foot headrig as
well as McDonough’s 7 th edger system. This edger system features
McDonough’s ValueMax system, which allows an operator assisted
visual defect upgrade of the optimizer’s solution and is Pike Lumber’s
2 nd edger system of this kind.
Rex Lumber Co.’s new tandem arbor lineal edger, for their new
facility in Brookhaven, Miss., was tested in the shop in early January
and shipped to the customer. This innovative machine design features
two skewing saw boxes in one machine center. Sold to perform up to
50 pieces per minute, once operating this will be one of, if not the,
fastest edger in the world. This will be McDonough’s 8 th edger product
since they started making edger’s just three years ago.
For more information on McDonough Manufacturing’s custom line
of sawmill machinery call 715-834-7755.
PIERCE CONSTRUCTION ANNOUNCES ADDITIONS
Pierce Construction and Machine of Petal, Mississippi announces
two major additions to its already comprehensive line of Forest
Products Equipment. Seeing a need for a small yet sturdy band mill
head rig, Pierce purchased a proven design from Filer and Stowell.
According to a Pierce representative, the new PCM High Air Strain
48” Band Mill offers extreme flexibility. The same basic design can
be used as a head rig, vertical resaw, or horizontal resaw. The representative
also said using 18 – 20 gauge saws and kerfs as low as .080”
will provide a mill maximum recovery from their logs.
Coupled with the new PCM band mill head rig is the PCM Carriage.
After an exhaustive research project Pierce took a clean sheet of paper
and incorporated the best features it had found in current carriages.
The PCM Carriage is offered in a set shaft and linear positioner models
with 36”– 48” openings and two to five knees as required by the
customer.
