The Swedish privately owned sawmill company JG Anderssson och S\u00f6ner AB (JGA), based in Linneryd in Sm\u00e5land, is investing in future expansion from the current 250,000 to 400,000 cubic meters of sawn goods.\u00a0To achieve this increase, the company is investing in a new timber dryer.<\/p>\n
JGA was founded in 1928 and today employs over 130 people in sawmills, packaging manufacturing, timber purchasing and bioenergy.\u00a0JGA also includes Sk\u00e5netimmer AB with a purchasing and felling organization.<\/p>\n
Increased production<\/strong><\/p>\n The annual production is currently 250,000 cubic meters of sawn goods, of which about 70 percent is exported.\u00a0The plan is to increase production to 400,000 cubic meters of sawn goods, which prompted the investment in a new duct dryer from Valutec with an annual drying capacity of 80,000 cubic meters.\u00a0JGA already has four chamber dryers from the same supplier, whose control system is also used in the drying process.<\/p>\n Stands well equipped<\/strong><\/p>\n The dryer is of the TC type and has eight drying zones.<\/p>\n ''The TC dryer means that we are well equipped for the future.\u00a0At the same time as it gives us high capacity, it also delivers a good drying result that lives up to the quality requirements of the future,'' says Magnus Ragnarsson, HR manager at JGA in a press release.<\/p>\n The dryer is built in stainless steel and assembly will begin in August 2022.<\/p>\n TC dryer:<\/strong><\/p>\n TC is an abbreviation for transverse circulation and the principle is based on the timber packages being invested in the length through zones where the air circulates across the longitudinal direction of the duct.\u00a0This makes it possible to regulate the climate separately in different zones, according to a schedule that is very close to the ideal schedule of a chamber.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Swedish privately owned sawmill company JG Anderssson och S\u00f6ner AB (JGA), based in Linneryd in Sm\u00e5land, is investing in future expansion from the current 250,000 to 400,000 cubic meters of sawn goods.\u00a0To achieve this increase, the company is investing … Continue reading
