Forest Products Machinery & Equipment (NAICS 113310)

Solutions for log and bulk processing, manufacturing, automation and optimization control, sorting and stacking, as well as planer mill, lumber, engineered wood, veneer and plywood manufacturing systems.

Plastic wear parts, such as bushings, bearings, and wear plates, are used in forest products equipment because they are lightweight, durable, and resistant to wear and corrosion. Plastic chain guides and sprockets are often used to guide and transport logs, lumber, and other wood products through the production process. Plastic cutting boards are commonly used in sawmills to cut and prepare wood products, while plastic packaging materials, such as bags, film, and wrap, are used to package and store wood products because they provide a moisture barrier that helps prevent damage and extend shelf life.

Forest Products Machinery & Equipment Materials Overview

What are plastics used in forest product equipment?

Plastic wear parts: Many forest products equipment manufacturers use plastic wear parts, such as bushings, bearings, and wear plates, in their machinery. Plastic wear parts are lightweight, durable, and resistant to wear and corrosion, which makes them an ideal choice for use in forest products equipment.

Chain guides and sprockets: Plastic chain guides and sprockets are often used in forest products equipment, such as sawmills and paper mills, to guide and transport logs, lumber, and other wood products through the production process. Plastic chain guides and sprockets are lightweight, low-maintenance, and can help reduce wear and tear on other components in the equipment.

Cutting boards: Plastic cutting boards are commonly used in sawmills and other forest products facilities to cut and prepare wood products. Plastic cutting boards are durable and easy to clean, which helps prevent cross-contamination and bacterial growth.

Packaging materials: Plastic packaging materials are commonly used to package and store wood products, such as lumber and plywood. Plastic packaging materials can provide a moisture barrier that helps prevent damage and extend the shelf life of the product.

Plastics for forestry equipment fall under NAICS code #113310 as well as SIC code #2499, 2493, 5031, and 2621.
