Maintaining North American Productivity With Drum De-Barker Discharge Conveyors

Economic stability isn’t earned through steel and smoke. It’s instead earned through lumber - with the Canadian forestry industry contributing $19.8 billion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the U.S. forestry industry contributing $3 billion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Increased productions in the solid wood, pulp and paper, and logging verticals have secured the North American market.They’ve also created a need for new de-barking technologies - with current designs unable to accommodate accelerated bulk handling and expedited processing. Conveyors simply aren’t engineered for today's production standards.
Connexus Industries addresses this issue through our drum de-barker discharge conveyors. These machines - intended for both domestic and exotic hardwoods - are tailored for constant use, with their unique designs adapting to high-impact (10-feet) drops. This allows them to endure the rigorous demands of the logging industry, providing results that are both high-volume and sustainable.
De-barking is a pivotal step within the lumber process, stripping away waste material (such as sand or resin) and preparing logs for consumers. Without a proper discharge system, however, mills will experience decreased productivity - constantly having to realign conveyor chains, replace fractured parts, and reduce impact heights. This weakens profits.
Connexus Industries can strengthen them, with our drum de-barkers ensuring superior results. Contact us today to learn more.

The demand for sugar proves high. According to Statista, worldwide growth have risen sharply within the last year - with China (5.5 million metric tonnes), the United States (3.46 million metric tonnes), Indonesia (3.2 million metric tonnes), and the European Union (3.2 million metric tonnes) leading the import surge. This is a consumer-driven market.It’s also an accelerated one, with both North American and South American companies increasing their production processes to accommodate the sugar-rush.
With this increase comes a need for quality chains.
Connexus Industries provides them. We offer an exclusive line of sugar mill products - each engineered for durability and delivering ISO9001:2008 specifications to adapt to all needs. Our manufacturing process (which combines both heat treated stainless steel and hard chrome materials) promotes sustainability, reducing concerns of corrosion and residual stress fractures. This allows every cane feeder, cane carrier, bagasse carrier, and ash remover to function at optimum levels. Harvesting becomes seamless.
The sugar market is rapidly expanding. We now ensure that this expansion proves easy for North American and South American producers.

Examining The Value Of Sharp Top Chains In North America

The North American lumber industry rests on a shaky foundation. Face with increasing raw material prices and ever-growing energy demands, sawmills struggle to balance profits with productivity; and a still recovering economy (with shipment values plummeting to all-time lows in just 2006, triggering nationwide losses and reduced export rates) looms.The challenges faced by North America’s sawmills are many - which is why Connexus Industries stresses the necessity for high-speed, durable sharp chains and sharp top chains.
The core principle of manufacturing is simple: increase productivity while decreasing energy expense. Sharp top chains embrace this idea, catering to sawmill efficiency. Each is shaped to OEM specifications, with tip degrees precisely measured to ensure maximum grip and minimum penetration. These custom designs - which incorporate flat-ground bottoms and draft-tooth profiles, promoting even distribution - generate speeds of over 1,440 FPM. This allows them to more effectively accommodate mill demands, emphasizing accuracy and expediency.
This reduces the overall energy needed for all lumber processes, with sharp top chains delivering high performance and low waste. This ensures greater sustainability (and greater profitability) for every company.
