This major overhaul will update the existing sling sorter frame and replace worn equipment with modern sling sorters from USNR. The new sorter top assemblies will be fitted to the existing structural steel frame, offering a faster and more reliable sorting operation.

Maximising uptime and throughput are the primary objectives of this investment, and this sorter upgrade will ensure Canfor’s Graham location continues to run at peak performance.

The start-up is scheduled for Q3 of this year.

Sling Sorters offer gentle handling of lumber and are often utilised in appearance-grade planer mill applications. They are less costly to manufacture, with far less structural steel than a bin sorter design, while also offering gentle handling and performance.
