- The sawmilling industry is of outmost value to the swedish economy. We have never produce so much lumber as today. Recently we were number four as producers and number two as exporters of sawn goods in the world.
This film informs about the process and the machines we use in a modern sawmill of today.
Very cool.
Located in my childhood home town Grums. Used to work at the paper mill which is right next to the sawmill on big holiday shut downs making some extra money during school breaks.
My first job out of engineering school lin 64 was with Weyerhaeuser Co. at Snoqualmie Falls WA I was 28 and in three years I was; Process Eng, Maintenance Foreman and Dry Lumber Mfg. Supt. We put the sawdust into presto logs. The bark and planer shavings went to the powerhouse to generate steam and electricity. Interesting, the process has not changed that much. The debarking was done with 1200 psi water. Most of the logs were over 3 feet in diameter and we could cut up to 6 feet diameter, 42 foot long. The special paper to wrap was to allow the customer to transport and store outside without further protection. With a lot of help from the maintenance crew and machine shop, I designed and built a lot of equipment including a car loading conveyor for loading the clear dry "uppers" into box cars.

Great job on this film Tord.I see Swedish lumber here in Florida quite often.
A big salute to the guy who invented the machine for the processing of these logs,from the rocky mountains of northen Philippines 😍😊😊
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting.
impressive sawmill
and interesting video
thx!
That is one clean Saw mill !
I'L LOVE YOUR INDUSTTRIES,THE BEST VEDEO!!
love you ,Designers of plant ,workers and all who are working
My brothers to the north sure know how to do heavy industry! Best regards from the beer-brewing Danes to the south :)
Wow! Great video.
This Mill has taken production efficiency to a whole new level
very interesting thanks .
I have never felt so upper white class watching a documentary. The music was perfecf
I buy wood marked "made in Sweden" here in TX. We make plenty of TX lumber, but not the high quality of Swedish wood.
superior 'package' thank you. many dont listen as they watch > 1st the logs are accounted for. im a firm believer > systems engineering, the entire community benefits when the plant is operational; nothing is wasted. the animations ~ simple to understand & relatively clear why.

Tord Sergerdahl Very interesting video Thank you
Amazing how this is actually accomplished.
VIVA SWEDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FROM AUSTRALIA
Amazing.
Wow that’s cool.
Unbelievable mechanical engineering. Maintenance department is probably largest dept in plant. Head of maintenance probably highest paid. Looks like so many places that a breakdown could bring the whole operation to a screeching halt. I can't begin to imagine how much lumber had to be sold to pay for this plant. Mind boggling I tell ya, mind boggling. Some of the employees look a bit less than excited about the whole thing. Looks a little mind numbing. FEED THE MACHINE!!

Or all the iterations before it...
impressive sawmill - bet the timber graders have been replaced with laser scanner
I wonder how much that entire line costs: all the conveyors, saws, sorters, etc. and who makes it. Must take months to set it all up once all the parts arrive.
This isn't an assembly required type thing something tells me they didn't just buy this per se, & likely no one else can, either.
A big salute to the guy who invented the machine for the processing of these logs,from the rocky mountains of northen Philippines 😍😊😊
Amazing... hopefully replacing trees were planted.
currently swedish forests are incresing in size each year by 30 million cubic meters. 90 million cubic meters are harvested each year.
listening to this music in need to smoke a big fat cigar haha!
Good tech, but there's something more appealing about the old school technology...
What species of wood do they produce the most of ? How many board feet per year goes through the plant ?
pine and European spruce is the most common lumber in Sweden and most certainly in this sawmill as well. As for the quantity, a metric fuckload is probably about right.
More correctly Sweden exports about 80% of our wood production (apparently we where the 3rd largest exporter in the world 2016) and in 2016 we exported about 18 million cubic metres (or 7627967979,6 board foot....why do you use so many silly measurements...) but as for this specific factory I cannot say as I do not know which one it is.
Did not know it makes a difference that the root end is the lead end.
You can feel it when using a hand plane: if you come in from the wrong end, the tool will constantly jam and skip. Even a very small plane, such as a corner radius, will do this.
How do you get enough stock to feed the mill and keep it going? Seems as though you would run out of timber, no more forest to cut. Very cool I tell you.
Marc Lewis if your harvest area is large enough, you harvest in plots and replant the area's you've cut, they'll regrow by the time you get back around to it...
Around 10 million cubic meters of timber is the yearly amount used by the bigger saw mills in Sweden (one mill will use 10 million cubic meters of timber per year). For every tree cut down, three new are planted.

… and then they drill a few holes in it, throw a few screws on top, package it, and tell you to assemble it on your own. I can see where IKEA came from ;-)
Builders porn... that's some nice wood.
What is the brand name of the butt reducer and debarker?Thanks
+Thad Becton The but end reducer and the debarker are manufactured by Valone Kone OY in Finland.
N ext
Nfmoofe sawmills
Does any of that go into Ikea furniture? I hope not.
+Joey Jamison It was a long time ago Ikea used proper wood, nowadays most furniture sold at Ikea are made from hollow fiber- and paper-board materials that have a thin layer of veneer on the outside for a proper "wood look".
Well, at least you can keep the lamps off.
Where does all of that lumber come from?
The forest
trees
From where is harvested all of that lumber?
Maybe from Poland,Ukraine and Romania?
Sweden. Every tree cut is replanted. Strict laws on how to tend to your forest
Even henry ford realised only people with jobs and good pay could buy cars , will their be jobs in this industry with this mechanism
the mechanism isnt 100% autonomous. it takes people to make it happen.there is much more happening before the logs get to the mill and after where many people are employed.
This was recorded some 20 year ago, it's more automation now, graders and such are gone and replaced by machines. but you have to do maintenance, control and periodic service. You also need to manufacture the machines, control systems and the programming, electrical hydraulics and so on, all those require people. Automation make people unemployed if you look at a very short time span from install but in the long run it creates more jobs as a whole for the country.
why do you process the logs with 'root end ' last ? at our mill we didnt. otherwise ,except for log size ,really similar. do you separate your 'dust' for the paper industry? we divided ours waste into dust ,chips and hog fuel. chips and hog going by barge to a company pulp mill and dust going up river to a ' fine paper' plant. planer shavings were used to provide heat for the kilns.
can you sell your lumber in japan without being graded again?
Listen the video. They said we cut the rot end first!
Yes they sell graded wood to Japan.
@@MrOnlyhimself my question was why the root end or butt of the logs were processed first.
In our logs the 'rot' is in the middle of the log. Especially our Coast hemlock .
Is there anything like this in the United States?
Yes, there are several mills that are more to up to date than this.
I have been to several larger and much faster mills. Honestly though they all do the same thing.
@@dickidydoodah Which is natural, since this was filmed about 20 years ago
why is the mill running so slow ?
Probably governed by how fast the trees grow.
@@jimc4731 Haha!
Export? Doesn't everything just get shipped straight to Ikea?
This presentation has a Y2K bug.
Looks like all you do is sit on your buts or stand around and watch and make sure a machine is doing what it is suppose to do Heaven forbit something breaks every thing comes to stop ( in my opinion )
Even on a manual sawmill things break. Nothing lasts forever.
Having a plan and spare parts when shit happens is crucial.
It don´t break, it's Swedish engineering. Regular maintaining, skilled workers and so on...
Is it the sexties>??//C
The narrator was difficult to understand and the music definitely made it much worse. Please cut the music next time.
Technology is great, but I won't take that kind of job, sitting all day in a comfortable chair.It is very unhealthy and boring.They should go one step further and make it near 100% automatic. Do you see that guy beer tommy ? LOL.
That is the way it's gone, more automation. This is from 20 years ago and the facility was probably not new at that time. 🙂
It seems there is a lot of waset , and put your metrece were the sun don't shine !
Please lose the music...
Why!?
Why ? I don't like it and can't hear anyone talking...
Sad to see the lack of human involvement, essentially an empty mill...I guess the swedes are too rich to do manual labor...tsk tsk tsk...
Gee I guess we all can say goodby to the forest's of Sweden with that kind of volume being processed. Sorry birds no more trees, sorry squirells no more homes, sorry people no more cool forest breeze just the hot air blowing across clear cut mountains. Oh so sad....oh so sad and the music fits like a glove oh so sad.
Warming temps and extra CO2 will induce the trees to grow faster perhaps?
Marti woodchip don t worry....for every tree cut down its 2 new tree s to be planted....
Marti, do you drive a car? Use plastic products? Then shut up about the environment, you hypocrite.
Picture quality is crap. Thumbs down.
very interesting thanks .
