After a major fire damaged several pieces of equipment at Evergreen Forest in New Meadows, Id., USNR is building new machines to get the mill running at full capacity again.

The initiative will take place over the course of several phases, some of which have already been completed. Evergreen has already received new edger scanning and optimization systems and a pony carriage with controls. Later this year, they’ll receive a new headrig carriage. They are also slated to receive a new trimmer with MillExpert optimization and Bioluma 4900LV scanners.

Along with the new equipment, USNR is committed to helping Evergreen Forest bounce back with additional upgrades, training, and 24/7 support to tackle any issues that may arise.

The blaze erupted Feb. 13 around the mill’s two bandmill headrigs. The facility was forced to temporarily close and will require the new equipment to return to full production.
