At the end of 2024, Freres Engineered Wood installed a WSM 3232GRI-HP Horizontal Grinder with a vibrating infeed at their Mass Ply facility in Lyons, OR. Freres utilizes the grinder to process waste veneer, and turn that into fuel for their cogeneration plant to produce electricity.
One of the unique challenges of this installation was their space issue, so for this installation, we are discharging the machine from the side of the air base. WSM worked with their pneumatic supplier (air system) to ensure that this was installed correctly.
