Higher performance, less noise

At the sawmill site in Iggesund in central Sweden, the past few years have been characterized by massive investments. In addition to new continuous kilns, Swedish Holmen group built a new planing hall and is currently adapting the existing saw line. Besides the main type of wood, pine, Holmen processes an increasing proportion of spruce logs. The investments bring the site’s processing capacity to a total of 500,000 m³ of softwood lumber a year. In order to be able to cope with the additional capacities in terms of the log wood as well, the company ordered a new high-performance log sorting line from Springer Maschinenfabrik, Friesach.
