NEWALD, WI— Cleereman Industries/Cleereman
Controls, headquartered here, in cooperation with RTM
Industrial Maintenance LLC recently carried out an extensive
project at GreenTree Forest Products, owned by
Greg Wells, in Wallingford, KY.
The RTM crew removed the old carriage line that
GreenTree had run for 27 years, an LP-42 Cleereman
carriage, and replaced it with a new one. Wells decided
that as long as he was replacing the carriage with
a Cleereman LP-48 Extreme Duty carriage, he would
also replace his scanning system with a new Cleereman
Controls 3-D scanning system and Cleereman Controls
Operator Start/Stop Dispatch Console with everything
mounted in a new Cleereman sawyer booth. Wells also
decided to replace his older, inefficient shotgun carriage
drive with a new energy-efficient Cleereman 200 HP Hydrostatic
carriage drive. A new Cleereman 42” Bar Log
