Complete Systems for Residual Products

Barking and log processing generate valuable by-products that need to be handled effectively so that they can be reused as cellulose chips, fuel chips, bark for energy or landscaping, or sawdust for pellets or bedding. The effective processing of by-products minimizes waste, reduces maintenance needs, and ensures a higher degree of operational reliability. Low noise levels and high-quality by-products are also key factors. Our systems shred, chip, screen, transport and store materials to prepare them for further use.

Hedlunds offers tailored by-product processing solutions for sawmills of all sizes. Materials are transported using the most suitable technology for each specific case, including shaftless screws, drag conveyors, trough conveyors, or vibratory conveyors, all depending on what is best suited to the situation.

Each situation has an ideal transport solution, and we always select the best. Shaftless screws dominate within bulk transport as they are quiet, safe, energy-efficient and require minimal maintenance. They also enable flexible solutions for vertical transport. Drag conveyors are robust and resilient against unexpected materials and overloads. Trough conveyors, meanwhile, are effective for offcuts, roller conveyors are great for bark and debris, and vibratory conveyors are a favorite when it comes to feeding chippers. Metal detectors eliminate costly stoppages.

In addition to being transported, materials are also screened, chipped, shredded and stored using techniques tailored to each situation. We have the experience and solutions to design and deliver reliable facilities for every need.
