The principal activity of BTM
Wood Pellets
The wood pellets are produced by compressing sawdust from wood wastes which can be purchased at lower cost. The sawdust is then fed into a rotary dryer to be dried at a consistent moisture level. The dried sawdust is then fed into the Efficient Centrifugal Pellet Mill to be compressed and extruded into wood pellet, which is then cooled down in pellet cooler machine and then packed for sale. The raw materials that are required for the production of wood pellet i.e. wood wastes enables the Group to reduce wastage by recycling the wood wastes from its sawmilling and manufacturing businessPellets are manufactured in several types and grades as fuels for electric power plants, homes and other applications in between. Pellets are extremely dense and can be produced with a low moisture content that allows them to be burned with a very high combustion efficiency.
Logging
In view of the growing awareness of forest preservation, we have taken necessary steps to ensure that logging is carried out on a proper forest management to ensure minimal impact on the environment. This ensures an adequate supply of round logs on a sustainable yield basis. Trees to be harvested are first selected based on specifications approved by the Forestry Department.
Sawmilling
The sawmilling process involves managing of incoming logs and feeding them into breakdown bandsaws, sorting, stacking, seasoning, selection of off-cuts, bundling and stock handling of timber.
Kiln Drying
A 12-chamber kiln dry plant with a capacity of 16,200 tonnes per annum is used to dry sawntimber for downstream processing.
Moulding
Moulded timber is a variety of value-added products comprising of door/window frames, door jambs, furniture parts, paneling and flooring, etc.
