Hekotek AS has entered into a supply agreement with Koskisen Oy, one of the largest privately owned wood processing companies in Finland.<\/p>\n
Equipment for feeding logs to sawmill, together with a conveyor system for transporting sawdust (bark, wood chips and sawdust), will be delivered to the new wood processing unit in K\u00e4rk\u00f6l\u00e4, J\u00e4rvel\u00e4, Finland.<\/p>\n
Koskisen will carry out an investment in K\u00e4rk\u00f6l\u00e4 worth Euro 48 million, with production scheduled to start up in summer 2023. The new unit\u2019s annual production will initially be 400,000 m3 of softwood sawn timber. The investment is a continuation of the further processing capacity expansion carried out in 2020 and the power plant investment in which heat production was converted entirely to biofuel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis investment is the largest in the company\u2019s history and extremely significant strategically speaking. The new production line, coupled with our major processing capacity, makes Koskisen\u2019s Sawn Timber Industry one of the most competitive players in its field, with one of the highest degrees of further processing,\u201d says Koskisen Group\u2019s CEO\u00a0Jukka Pahta.<\/p>\n
The equipment supplied by Hekotek ensures the supply of logs at different speeds, first to the log peeler and then to a state-of-the-art saw line. Log handling speeds range from 70 to 200 m \/ min, which corresponds to a feed of up to 40 logs per minute. The entire set of equipment supplied by Hekotek is designed and manufactured on the basis of particularly high technological requirements, where the share of human labor in the entire production process has been minimized.<\/p>\n
Koskisen\u2019s production facilities in J\u00e4rvel\u00e4 form Finland\u2019s biggest mechanical wood processing integrate, where almost 100% of the wood raw material is used in its own processes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
