The company's plant in Saint-Apollinaire has facilities for debarking and cutting logs into wood chips and for screening, drying, bagging and storing the shavings. Once the logs have been processed, the bark and other larger pieces of wood are separated from the shavings by screening. The shavings are then dried in a constant-temperature kiln. The end product – the dried shavings – is sorted by size, using mesh screens of different diameters, and then packed in waterproof bags and sealed against moisture. The final screening process also removes fine sawdust particles. The wood residue recovered in this process is used to fuel the burner.
