Pleasant River Lumber

Challenge
Tom Sylvester, plant engineer at Moose River Lumber near Jackman, Maine, needed drag conveyors to feed a new chip storage facility. He wanted to avoid belt conveyors due to the mess they produce and screw conveyors because they require too much maintenance.
At Pleasant River Lumber in Enfield, Maine, Michael Lebrun likewise needed conveyors. These units would transfer waste materials to a screener and a new chip bin, which Michael had installed as part of an expansion project. Michael, the general manager, had fabricated chain conveyors at the mill in the past but was hesitant to do so for this application. He also wanted to avoid belt conveyors for the same reason as Tom.

Solution
Tom Sylvester saw an advertisement for BE&E and contacted us about our SMART Conveyors™. BE&E supplied him with two S-Series conveyors that transferred chips from a cyclone to the chip storage facility.
When Pleasant River Lumber needed conveyors, Tom recommended BE&E’s conveyors to Michael. The application at Enfield involved higher material volumes, so Michael opted for four of our larger M-Series conveyors.
