MacMillan Bloedel<br />

Pulp <strong>and</strong> Paper Manufacturing Saw Mill<br />

Problem:<br />

Steel rolls used to convey lumber would become slippery when wet. The conveying of lumber <strong>and</strong><br />

overall manufacturing process would slow considerably in wet operating conditions.<br />

Solution:<br />

Steel rolls were roughened using a grinder <strong>and</strong> wire wheel attachment. Following roughening complete<br />

coating areas were chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Floor Grip epoxy component was<br />

mixed <strong>and</strong> applied to a thickness of 16 mils, using a paint brush. Floor Grip silicon carbide granules<br />

were sprinkled using a spaghetti strainer/ seed sower. Floor Grip silicon carbide granule were pressed<br />

into the epoxy mixture by “back rolling” using a 1/8” nap paint roller. Floor Grip provided an slip<br />

resistant coating improving the process of conveying limber in wet operating conditions.
