Another major order for Renholmen
Renholmen has been entrusted to deliver an almost complete dry sorter plant to Setra Group’s sawmill in Skinnskatteberg, Västmanland, Sweden. The order includes the innovative Triple Stacker, the first type of stacker with a capacity of over 30 outlays per minute. The dry sorter is planned to be ready to start production in late summer 2012.
- Setra is one of the clients we have been privileged to work with on different occasions. Obviously, we are very pleased that in the fierce international competition, our company is considered to have the most appropriate technology for this effort, "says Renholmen’s Sales Manager, Bernt-Ove Andersson.
- This is the first Triple Stacker to reach the market after the one we built and delivered to Martinson Sawmill in Bygdsiljum, north of Sweden, backl in 2009. It is a product we very much believe in which provide the additional capacity that is often required in todays production. The fact that Skinnskatteberg chose to go for it, as part of the investment, is obviously inspiring, says Bernt-Ove Andersson.
Renholmens delivery is planned to take place in two stages with installation starting early next year. The new dry sorter will replace the old one, also built by Renholmen back in the early 1980s. In parallel with the installation, until summer and pairing with the existing bin section, full production will be running. The new dry sorter is planned to be ready to start production late summer 2012.
Setra Group’s Jerker Nyström explains that there were certain factors behind the choice of Renholmen.
- After analyzing various market alternatives, we came to the conclusion that Renholmen’s dry sorting equipment best suits our facility. The goal is obviously to increase capacity and enhance competitiveness through leaps in technology. We have good experiences from previous collaborations with Renholmen, and have great confidence in the solution we chose to go with.
According to Jerker Nyström, Renholmen’s delivery is both conceptually and functionally interesting.
- Two good examples is the Triple Stacker and the improved trimmer, which makes it possible for us to take the next leap in terms of both capacity and optimized production. This particular investment is part of a larger effort that has been going on since the beginning of the new millenium, with the purpose of modernizing and increase the unit profitability, says Jerker Nyström.
