Exploring the Range of Our Business Capabilities

This is a dual-band Kockums-Cancar computer-adjusted resaw system, capable of processing materials up to 14" x 36" in size and 24' in length using band saws. The resaw line features a tilt hoist that supplies a front-end trimming/grading station and delivers final trimming and grading after the resaw process. The system includes a manually operated pull transfer chain and an end stacker, which efficiently directs the maximum quantity of same-grade and same-length products from a specific work order.

Our production line features two single-band, fixed Stenner resaws, designed to efficiently breakdown lumber up to a maximum size of 4" x 6" and a maximum length of 20'. These single-band saws are strategically aligned to allow one saw to seamlessly feed into the second, optimizing the workflow.

The resaw line is equipped with a covered tilt hoist that feeds the first resaw and subsequently directs the lumber to a transfer chain for sorting. This setup ensures a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.

The kiln facility is housed in a tilt up concrete building with concrete flat roof. The kiln consists of seven (7) independent side loading chambers which can accommodate 5 rows of stacked lumber for drying. Of the 7 kilns, three (3) are rated for 175,000 board feet and four (4) are rated for 100,000 board feet. Each kiln has its own manual controller which directs the requirements for direct gas fired heat based on wet and dry bulb temperature settings. The kiln drying process benefits from two (2) boilers that produce steam for lumber conditioning. Significant experience in the management group provides comprehensive drying schedules to ensure customers continue to be highly satisfied with drying results.

Southcoast has relatively new kiln PLC controllers designed, built, and installed that utilize new VFDs to control fan speed during drying schedules in conjunction with a leading edge energy management system. This new technology enhances our kiln drying performance.

Our 610 Stetson Ross planer is equipped with a tilt hoist that includes de-sticking capabilities, ensuring optimal preparation of kiln-dried lumber before it enters the planing process. To maintain quality control, an in-line Wagner moisture meter is installed to accurately measure the moisture content of the lumber as it exits the planer.

The planer's outfeed leads to a value-adding trimming system, manned by two certified lumber graders. Their expertise allows us to upgrade the lumber, maximizing both its value and fibre recovery.

To streamline the sorting process, we have a pull transfer chain and an end stacker in place. This system efficiently directs high volumes of lumber of the same grade and length, as per specific work orders, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.

At Southcoast Reman, we prioritize quality in every aspect of our operations. We use top-tier lumber wrap for our products, or, if preferred, we can apply a customer's own lumber wrap featuring their company logo. Our commitment to precision and organization extends to our labeling process. We generate labels through the LISA inventory management system, ensuring each load is accurately labeled either as it passes through our packaging system or upon completion of kiln drying.

In the past, Southcoast Reman held its own PEFC certification. However, the current standards no longer necessitate a custom lumber remanufacturer to possess an individual certificate. Despite this, our customers require us to uphold both PEFC and FSC chain of custody agreements through our process control and inventory management system. We are also subject to their audit requirements. Our business model is built on the principle of maintaining and verifying the integrity of our customer's wood, ensuring we meet and exceed industry standards and customer expectations.
