Bulk Load Wood Chip

Our woodchip product meets standards of the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI). These specifications require that 5% or less of the shipment quantity must be no larger in size than 28.57mm (oversize), that 5% or less of the shipment quantity must be no smaller in size than 4.76mm (fines), that 1% or less of the shipment is bark, and that the shipment must also have 1% or less of rot. Depending on end-user requirements, we can consider a more strict quality standard; however, additional costs would result.Our loading rate at Port MacKenzie is approximately 500 to 600 MT per hour. We have a 152.4cm wide feed conveyor and a jet-slinger to throw the chips on board; we do not only gravity-feed chips onto the vessel. We also typically use a trim-dozer to obtain the greatest stow-factor possible. And for the stow-factor, we have experienced 110cf/MT or better for paper birch and 140cf/MT for white spruce. Additionally, our dock facility is equipped with power capstans and quick-release hooks to ensure efficient docking, shifting and safe harboring of the vessel.Please find this information sufficient in technical detail regarding our woodchip business originating in Alaska. NPI can make woodchips from 3 different specie: White Paper Birch (Betula neoalaskana) and Aspen (Populus tremuloides) which are both hardwoods and White Spruce (Picea glauca) which is our only softwood specie.Attached is a photo showing out timber holding.Please contact with any questions
