With the end of the construction job in sight it is nearing the time when timber
will reach the Bin Sorter. By the end of November we will see the installation of the
transfer conveyor which will signal the connection of the structure back to the
existing sawmill.
Services (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic) will also be nearing completion at this
time with some aspects of the machine having already been given a trial run
with great success.
The project is still a hive of activity however it’s all coming together very quickly
with an initial run testing phase hopeful before Christmas.
“It’s probably been close on 4 years since some of the bin sorter equipment
has run, we originally saw it in Australia back in Nov 2008 decommissioned and
imported it early 2009 so it’s certainly been a while and an exciting time now
seeing it come back to life” Andrew Anderson, Project Manager.
