PWP's pressure treating system
|
|||
|
The
PWP difference At Princeton Wood Preservers Ltd. we understand that quality matters. Our difference starts with the trees. We harvest timber from our own timber license allowing for selection of timber best suited for our products. Each part of the production process is completed at our 23 acre production plant including bucking to length, peeling, pointing and doming, drying and treating. This allows us to ensure that the products we produce meet quality control standards set at each part of the process. |

| Dry
kiln advantage
All wood products
must have the natural moisture removed from the wood cells in order
for the wood preserving chemicals to penetrate the sapwood. PWP
is one of the only fence post producers with a dry kiln. Our 3,500
square foot Moore dry kiln rapidly dries the wood and ensures that
sapwood penetration and wood preservative retention is achieved
according to the AWPA and CSA treating standards - another part
of the PWP difference. |

Bio-mass
energy systems |
In a bid to reduce
cost and address a growing environmental concern for production of
greenhouse gases and the landfill of bio-mass materials, we decided
to install a bio-mass energy unit to fuel our dry kiln. The unit takes
the bark shavings generated in the peeling process and burns them
to produce heat for the dry kiln. The technology has resulted in the elimination of 500 tonnes per year of greenhouse gases and 12 million pounds of bark shavings otherwise disposed of at local landfills.
Princeton Wood Preservers Ltd., the difference
shows.
