Matsumoto Lumber to invest in a new sawline in Japan
Matsumoto Lumber ordered a full-profiling Scala 250 sawline from Heinola Sawmill Machinery for its new sawmill in Japan. The new sawmill will saw two log lengths: 3.1 and 4.1 m with top diameters of 150 – 350 mm. The sawline is a full-profiling line, equipped with the HEINOLA automation system and the Siemens PLC control. There are two HEINOLA chipper canters and four HEINOLA profiling units. The profiling units cut 1+1 or 2+2 side boards from a log or a cant by using skew edging. The actual primary and secondary breakdown are carried out with HEINOLA saw units which utilize the new HEINOLA Syncro Cutting System. In this solution both shafts of the double arbor saw are installed on top of one another in the same line. This enables active curve sawing and better yield of always a somewhat curve log. The machinery from Heinola to Japan will be delivered in the early summer, and... Continue reading
