 Debarking and Sawing to Rough Length are the First Steps in the Log Breakdown Process Logs are put onto the deck that feeds a highspeed Nicholson A5A debarker to remove all of the bark. A conveyor then moves the debarked log to the merchandising deck where it is sawn into 8 and 10 foot (240 cm and 300 cm) lengths as determined by the initial overall log length. Logs are then conveyed to the sawmill headrigs for the primary log breakdown phase of production. Two levels of monitoring ensure Cascade's ability to produce the finest quality and highest value product.
