Briquetted logs made by extrusion of saw dust needed to cool down before further processing. This introduced a bottleneck. Integration of a cooling tunnel in the processing line eliminated the bottleneck. Next, the automation of multiple processes achieved an overall rate of 4000-plus logs an hour. Operations involved in the process are sawing, cooling, stack formation, strapping, bag packing, and palletizing.
