Valutec Provides Kilns to Russian “Mega Sawmill”
Valutec Provides Kilns to Russian “Mega Sawmill”

Russian-based ULK Group, one of the biggest sawmills in the country, is investing more than 400 million euro in one of their largest mills with the aim to modernize and grow the “mega sawmill” even further. The goal is to have the sawmill’s capacity reach more than 1 million cubic meters (425,000 MBF) of sawn timber and 600,000 t pellets annually per year. If all goes according to plan, this will happen by 2013.
Furthermore, in the biggest deal in company history, Valutec is delivering eight continuous kilns to ULK, drastically improving output and efficiency. According to company spokespeople, it was the capacity, optimum quality, and overall flexibility of the Valutec TC kilns that made them an easy choice.
”Few get the chance to take part in the construction of a brand new sawmill,” said Timo Kanerva of Valutec, “and we are honoured that they chose us.”
In the interest of improving safety and logistics, ULK will use a closed traverse system to move timber packages rather than forklifts. The company feels that relying on these proven systems will be much smarter than attempting to put such a huge demand on prototypes. Among their many features, the TC kilns are equipped with Valutec's Valmatics 4 control system. This includes an integrated simulator that dramatically increases output and energy efficiency.

At their production site in Latvia, Kurekss has now invested in a TC continuous kiln after placing an order with Valutec. Made from stainless steel, the product offers six different zones and around 50,000 cubic metres in capacity. With the equipment being delivered towards the end of summer and into autumn, the company are expecting it to be operational as 2017 comes to a close.
Moving forward, Kurekss will be using the kiln to dry 19mm-25mm planks. Additionally, Valutec will be providing pressure frames, a heat recovery system, and the main control system.

The Latvian sawmill Kurekss has invested in a TC continuous kiln from Valutec. This will be the first continuous kiln of this model to be built in the Baltic countries.
“Kurekss has clear ideas for how they want to develop their business. At the same time, they are open to innovative thinking, and when we presented the TC continuous kiln, they quickly realised that it was ideally suited to meet their specific needs,” comments Stefan Sundqvist, Export Sales Manager at Valutec.
Kurrekss is a privately-owned sawmill in western Latvia that was founded in 1995. A large part of the company’s production is customer-specific and in various dimensions, which means flexible drying options are an obvious requirement.
“A classic continuous kiln was not the optimal choice, as they are most efficient for sawmills that dry large volumes in similar dimensions. The TC continuous kiln is an option that gives sawmills a high capacity while also allowing the running of packets of different dimensions,” says Stefan.
TC is the abbreviation of the Swedish for “cross circulation”. The principle is based on the lumber package being fed lengthways through zones in which the air circulates laterally across the drying channel. This enables the separate regulation of the climate in different zones according to a schedule that comes very close to the ideal schedule of a batch kiln. The kiln model is part of the latest generation of continuous kilns from Valutec. They have rapidly become popular in both Sweden and Central Europe.
Kurekss will mainly use the kiln to dry planks of between 19 millimetres and 25 millimetres. The kiln, which is made from stainless steel, will have six zones and a capacity of over 50,000 cubic metres for mixed dimensions. The delivery also includes a heat recovery system, pressure frames and the Valmatics control system. The equipment will be delivered over the course of the autumn and will be operational towards the end of the year.

| Batch kilns Dávkové sušárny, ve kterých je klima regulováno pro celé balíky během doby sušení, vždy byly přirozenou volbou pro sušení větších prken a tam, kde jsou vysoké požadavky na kvalitu sušení. I když se dávkové sušárny potýkají s tvrdší konkurencí nové generace progresivních sušáren, existují oblasti, kde proces výroby a požadavky na kvalitu konečného produktu činí dávkové sušárny nejlepší volbou.

| Heat treatment Tepelné ošetření;
Zařízení Valutec pro tepelné ošetření je založeno na přední metodě ThermoWood® na trhu. ThermoWood® lze prakticky považovat za nový typ dřeva, protože ošetření dává dřevu zcela nové charakteristiky. To je také důvodem rostoucího zájmu na trhu o jeho použití jako alternativu k tropickým dřevinám a tlakově ošetřenému dřevu. |
| Progresivní sušárny Progresivní sušárny;
Základním principem progresivních sušáren je transport tepla a vlhkosti dřevem s pomocí cirkulujícího vzduchu pomocí ventilátorů. Klima každého balíku dřeva se mění během průchodu sušárnou. Při výběru správných dřevěných sušáren platí pravidlo, že progresivní sušárny jsou nejvhodnější pro sušení prken a dávkové sušárny jsou lepší pro větší prkna. S vylepšením metod a zavedením inovací to již není zcela pravda. Nová generace progresivních sušáren kombinuje vysokou kapacitu a hospodárnost provozu s kvalitou sušení srovnatelnou s dávkovými sušárnami. | |
