Overview
The Process


Quantum is the name we've given our new hybrid rough mill processing system - a truly unique innovation in the industry. Offering you diverse and important new procurement opportunities, Quantum is a valuable tool that maximizes rip yields, reduces material handling costs, and increases both productivity and profitability.

The Quantum facility

An impressive example of engineering and processing technology, Quantum unites eight separate processing steps into one continuous flow. The process converts RWL lumber into ready-to-use moulding blanks and other innovative products with incredible efficiency.

 

Our Quantum processing capabilities now serve as the foundation for our many value-added manufacturing programs, including our custom mouldings.

The Benefits

TheQuantum system allows us to offer customers ripping and processing options simply unavailable until now. While the system significantly cuts processing costs and increases rip yields, the key to Quantum is our ability to combine and manage multiple rip orders simultaneously.

By analyzing the final product mix requirements of multiple customers and combining them into one run, we're able to supply each customer with a much greater percentage of desired parts than normal. Typical downfall programs normally associated with ripping are reduced substantially or eliminated.
