Holmen Wood Products to install new planer at Iggesund Sawmill

Holmen Wood Products AB commissioned Brinkab, part of Veidekke Entreprenad AB, and Veidekke’s newly started construction business in Gävle to build a new planer at Iggesund Sawmill near Hudiksvall, Sweden. The order, worth around SEK 90 million, is scheduled to be completed in early 2024, said Veidekke in a statement.

The project includes the new construction of a 4,000 m2 planing house adjacent to a sawmill. When the new planer and sorter is installed, it is anticipated that sawmill capacity could increase to just over 450,000 m3 per year from today’s 380,000 m3. Full capacity is expected to be reached by the end of 2024 mill in Colville, Washington. Finnos is the forerunner in AI-based X-ray technology offering superior log X-ray solutions for sawmill, pulp, energy and plywood industries.

Finnos Fusion will be used at log sorting line to sort logs not only to their geometrical features but also according to the internal quality features such as knots etc. Additionally the mill can sort the logs by the wood species as well. The scanners will be delivered to Vaagen Brothers Lumber Inc.
