Sprinsfield Mill Adds Pres-to-loss

Two big machines at the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's plant at Springfield, Oregon, now are turning out miniature fuel logs at the rate of one every 25 seconds. This new product of the Springfield plant is the popular Pres-to-log, about a f,oot long and four inches in diameter. It is widely used as a fuel in households, railroad dining cars and ship galleys.

Representing anothei ing by-products, pres-to-logs are

shavings ar.rd sawdust, left over when kiln dried lumbe, i. ,rrrfaced ancl fi'rished for commercial sale. In this machine, operated here by Bill Sneddon, pres-to-log f,oreman at the Spring- field plant, ground-up shavings and sawdust are compressed under 165,000 pounds pressnre in a seven-foot wheel whose foot-thich rim is perforated with about 40 holes. In the holes, fitted with cylindrical dies, the logs are formed singly unde-i pressure without a binding agent. The pres_to_logs are held during one 2l-minute rotation while water circulates in the wheel's rim to cool them. After each log is formed, it is ejectecl by an incoming rnixture of new raw material.

A pres-to-log weighs eight pounds and pac-ks 80,000 BTU,s. llach of the two machines at the Springfield plant will producc 4,000 tons of logs annually.

At Longview and Everett, Washington, and Klamath Falls, Oregon, Weyerhaueser already has 32 of the machines in op_ eration. They work round the clock to cut down waste in the forest industry.

Two veterans in the door-making craft worked on Simpson's millionth door, which was assembled one day late in December' One was Charlie Rogers, who has been sapping (assembling) tloors in McCleary for 33 years. It is estimated that he has assembled nearly 6 million doors during that time, Another "okl-timer" who helped finish the millionth door is Attilio Montermini, who also has worked with doors for 33 years in the McCleary area.
