From Small to Large-Scale Systems

The log intake ensures a consistent supply of raw materials to the sawmill process and operates reliably at high volumes with precise log spacing. Additional processes such as top-to-butt turning, defect sorting, butt-end reducing and debarking are often integrated into the intake system. Hedlunds' log intakes deliver up to one log per second and cater for all capacity needs. Most of our systems are designed to run without the need for an operator, ensuring a steady timber supply with precise spacing.

Hedlunds is your trusted partner for log intakes, regardless of sawmill size. We provide solutions ranging from small, simple intake systems with log decks and individual log separation to extensive set-ups with advanced functionalities.
