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. Iguana

This Mill has taken production efficiency to a whole new level

A big salute to the guy who invented the machine for the processing of these logs,from the rocky mountains of northen Philippines 😍😊😊

I have never felt so upper white class watching a documentary. The music was perfecf

Great job on this film Tord.I see Swedish lumber here in Florida quite often.

That is one clean Saw mill !

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.

I buy wood marked "made in Sweden" here in TX. We make plenty of TX lumber, but not the high quality of Swedish wood.

My brothers to the north sure know how to do heavy industry! Best regards from the beer-brewing Danes to the south :)

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!!

Amazing how this is actually accomplished.

love you ,Designers of plant ,workers and all who are working

impressive sawmill and interesting video thx!

VIVA SWEDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FROM AUSTRALIA

Amazing.

impressive sawmill - bet the timber graders have been replaced with laser scanner

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting.

I'L LOVE YOUR INDUSTTRIES,THE BEST VEDEO!!

very interesting thanks .

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.

Wow that’s cool.

Wow! Great video.

Did not know it makes a difference that the root end is the lead end.

Tord Sergerdahl Very interesting video Thank you

listening to this music in need to smoke a big fat cigar haha!

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?

What species of wood do they produce the most of ? How many board feet per year goes through the plant ?

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.

Amazing... hopefully replacing trees were planted.

From where is harvested all of that lumber? Maybe from Poland,Ukraine and Romania?

Builders porn... that's some nice wood.

… 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 ;-)

Good tech, but there's something more appealing about the old school technology...

Where does all of that lumber come from?

Does any of that go into Ikea furniture? I hope not.

Even henry ford realised only people with jobs and good pay could buy cars , will their be jobs in this industry with this mechanism

👍👍💖✋🔔🙏

Is there anything like this in the United States?

What is the brand name of the butt reducer and debarker?Thanks

why is the mill running so slow ?

Export? Doesn't everything just get shipped straight to Ikea?

The narrator was difficult to understand and the music definitely made it much worse. Please cut the music next time.

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 )

Is it the sexties>??//C

This presentation has a Y2K bug.

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.

It seems there is a lot of waset , and put your metrece were the sun don't shine !

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...

Please lose the music...

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.

Picture quality is crap. Thumbs down.

very interesting thanks .
