Sorting and dry sorting lines for Onega LDK modernization in Arkhangelsk Oblast

In the past year 2021 JARTEK INVEST OY signed a contract for delivery of green sorting and dry sorting lines for Segezha Group which has begun a complete modernization of JSC Onezhsky LDK wood processing facility in Arkhangelsk Oblast.

The preliminary planning has been completed in January this year and the designing is under way.

New green sorting and dry sorting lines handle 300,000 m3 of lumber per year.

The lines are fast and modern - a symbiosis of mechanics and automation. The lines are equipped with e.g., the necessary equipment for the careful handling of timber and machine vision equipment.

According to plans of Segezha Group, a large-scale investment in a modernization project that includes new green sorting and dry sorting lines is to make operation more efficient, develop wood processing and improve product quality.

“For Onega LDK, the decision to implement the project is a long-awaited development. Modern technology is developing quickly and the use of old sawmill techniques with high production costs have a negative impact on the company’s competitiveness”, says Alexander Varakin, CEO of Onega LDK.
