Services
Progress Engineering has extensive experience in the forest products industries, especially the automation of sawmills. Several of our professionals have previously worked for lumber producers and sawmill machinery OEMs. Debarker controls, including conversion from Rosser head to ring, and log scaling at the debarker.
Progress Engineering has a long history of applying state-of-the-art engineering principles and technology to control the processes of drying and burning wood. Progress Engineering is experienced in working with biomass boilers fueled by chips, sawdust and bark. Operating such boilers properly is a challenge, given the variability of the fuel being used.
Progress Engineering has extensive experience in the forest products sector, including virtually every aspect of process control and automation within Sawmills, Pellet Mills, Chip Mills, Biomass & Bark Mulch plants, Pallet Mills, OSB plants, and Pulp & Paper mills. Plant wide process controls for a wood pellet manufacturing process, from sawdust storage to bagging and palletizing.
Progress Engineering has extensive experience in applying controls in a broad array of manufacturing environments. Our customer needed a custom control system to precisely cut a plastic coated, heavy wire mesh. The cut needed to occur right along the horizontal wire, without leaving "nubs" of vertical wire, but also without nicking the plastic coating.
Progress Engineering has applied a variety of controls across multiple steel fabrication machines used in shipbuilding. A 400 ton brake had antiquated, mechanical OEM controls, which caused the customer multiple problems with uneven blade travel, improper positioning and hard to troubleshoot hydraulics.
