TOLKO INDUSTRIES LTD.

Program Purpose:

The objective of the project is to implement innovative technologies to enable the screening of wood strands, removal of unusable wood dust, classification of remaining strands, and then directing of strands with targeted moisture contents to either the surface or core layers by manipulating strand flow through the screening process. This technology will provide such control of classified strands and usable fines as to allow the mill to produce specialty designed engineered wood products on a single production line; something not done anywhere else in North America. This new line will also create the ability to produce one-of-a-kind specialty products, creating a greater diversity of Canadian oriented strand board products.
