Pallet Lumber Processing

Southern Packaging manufactures pallet components from green hardwood.  The green hardwood raw material is received at our facility as graded hardwood pulpwood (round wood) or as boards and cants (square wood).

A) Roundwood is processed through our onsite sawmill and scragg mill.  The sawmill processes larger diameter round wood into pallet stock using circular saws, edger saws, multi-trim saws, gang saws, and bandsaws.  The scragg mill processes small diameter round wood into pallet stock using the same type equipment as the sawmill.
B) Squarewood (cant) is green hardwood material purchased from other sawmills in a 4 state area.  Commonly available are 4"x6" and 4"x8" dimensions.  Also 4/4 and 5/4 rough green hardwood boards are purchased.  All square wood is cut up into pallet components utilizing chop saws, band sizers, band re-saws, circular trim saws, dedusters, notchers, and automated stackers.
