DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF PORTABLE LUMBER MILL

  • Unique Paper ID: 144851
  • PageNo: 103-108
  • Abstract:
  • A Lumbermill converts felled logs from trees into green wood lumber. As a piece of the GVCS, it unlocks a range of well-established wood construction techniques. To convert the green wood into finished dried lumber the cut boards are either air-dried or fired in a kiln. The demand for services provided by portable mills is a relatively new phenomenon. Much of the north central and northeastern United States is heavily forested with maturing stands of mixed hardwood and softwood species. The wood resource for smaller mills is virtually limitless. Owner/operators can often gain access to free or inexpensive logs, seek out specialty “character” wood, saw custom dimensions, and lumber on sites with low saw timber volumes, thereby saving trucking to and from a mill.
