FR,ESNO's OTDEST SAWMITL OPER,ATION INSTATLS NEW KITNS

FIVE TI/IODERN ltlOORE Cross.circulqtion kilns hove recently been instqlled for Robert Grimmett (shown in phoro) qr rhe Pine logging Compony, Fresno, Cqlif. The yord'r rowmitling is done on Dinkey Creek, eost of Schafter in Fresno county; lumber ig then lrucked to the plont in Fresno.

swtefrd,glls* is. usually associated. .*i:l warm s$mrher rySh-ei: A lumberman would think of Fresno in teiffis of air drlning, rather than kiln drying. However, this thinking is opposit6lb::gne of'Fpsnols oldest operating sawmill ifornia; 4rvery neat and clean little city with many units, the Pine Logging Company of California, which has recently completed the installation of a battery of five modern Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns.

This company, located in the northeastern section of Fresno, was originally founded in Fresno in 1933. In 1937 it moved to the present plant site, which consists of a 35-acre tract. A sawmill operating on Dinkey Creek, east of Schafier in Fresno county, does the actual sawmilling.

Until this year, all of the lumber was stuck in 16'x1d airdrying piles and then, after remaining on sticks for a varying period of time, was torn down and put through the planing and manufacturing facilities. In late 1954, plans were formulated for the installation of the kilns at Fresno and June 1 this year saw the completion of the new kiln installation.

The Pine Logging Company of California has a yearly cut of approximately 13,000,000 board feet, composed primarily of Sugar Pine, White Fir and Ponderosa Pine.

Robert Grimmett. associated with the lumber industry for over 40 years, is the president-manager of the Pine Logging Company of California. He states that the installation of his new kilns will aid in reducing inventory and assist in producing the highest quality product.

The sale of lumber from tJris operation is handled through Tarter-Webster & Johnson and orders from the plant can be shipped by either rail or truck.

The new kiln installation consists of five single-track Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns, each 72 feet long, heated with steam generated by a low pressure combination oil and gas fired unit. The boiler has a maximum capacity of approximately 325 h.p., is fully automatic, and is of sufficient size for additional kilns.

The dry kilns are of the double-end design, having loading slabs at both ends. The lumber packages are placed on the kiln trucks two packages wide and three packages high. The packages are approximately 52,, wide and 48,, high. Thus, each kiln has a holding capacity of approximately 40 M board feet.

The dry kiln buildings were constructed of. l2', Basalt block by Koch & Crawford of Chico, California. The construction of the new kilns and boiler house was done under the guidance of Francis Emerett, who has been associated with the pine I-ogging Company for several years.

Of particular interest is the fact that this is an Erie City heating boiler, using gas as a primary source of heat, but so designed that in case of gas shortage it can be cut over auto. matically and operate on PS-300 weight fuel oil.

The kiln equipment is the latest,'gnd most modern Moore design, having such outstandiqf

1. Two-end control. ?";

2. T-,arge-diameter fans powered by a 30 h.p. motor. w

3. Cast aluminum lid trol of a Moore l\{aster not only controls the but also gives positive dry bulb temperatures ln
