COVER: USNR
Deltic Timber of Waldo, AR, upgraded its
planer mill with USNR’s Transverse High
Grader (THG) system.
The new grading line includes a Revolver
Lug Loader, THG, Grade Projectors, Grade
Mark Reader, and Multi-Track Fence.
The mill’s strength predicting machine
is at the outfeed of a USNR high speed
planer (installed in 2007). The THG
visually evaluates pieces for all grade

characteristics while considering strength
predictions, and makes a grade decision.
We decreased our trim loss by around 2%,
and cut our manpower by 3 graders. I can’t
stress enough the improved consistency of
flow in the planer mill.
We’ve increased our throughput capacity by
about 4000 ft./hour. – Tommy Downs, Mill
Manager.
