Family-owned sawmill invests in timber kilns
Family-owned sawmill Hilmer Andersson has invested in two batch kilns from Valutec. These will be constructed during the winter and be commissioned in late April.“The rapid delivery is an advantage. Moreover, we will be able to improve the dry quality of our products and in particular the finest grades,” says Nils Andersson, Technical Manager at Hilmer Andersson.The batch kilns have a combined capacity of up to 30,000 m3 annually. They will be used to dry centre cuts and larger boards and planks of pine and spruce. They are made from stainless steel and equipped with pressure frames and
