Industrial sawmills are highly efficient process-driven facilities. But even for cutting-edge installations, processing boards or planks results in as much as half of a log being classified as byproduct. The

The transformation of bulk sulfur handling at Paradeep in India, is testament to the impact of adopting innovative solutions; with each new installation, Siwertell ship unloading technology is not just

Modern sawmills are highly efficient, process-driven facilities, where unplanned interruptions to operations can have a significant impact on production yields. A critical part of their process efficiency is the byproduct

The steel industry is facing mounting pressure to reduce its environmental impact and embrace more sustainable production methods, including the need to develop and commercialize new low-carbon technologies. According to the European Commission’s EU Science Hub, traditional steel manufacturing is responsible for around five percent of CO² emissions in the EU and seven percent globally.

The importance mobile chipping capabilities in the forestry and wood-processing industries should not be underestimated, especially as they can underpin yields and the efficient conversion of forest residues into valuable wood chips for the bioenergy and other processed wood industries.

Bruks Siwertell recognizes the critical importance of through-life equipment support and the ability to be by a customer’s side from delivery to end of service life. These journeys are not always simple. Equipment can be delivered and then the operational landscape can dramatically change. A commitment to through-life customer support means helping customers respond to shifting market demands.

There are three good reasons why dry bulk handling operators should not shy away from digital advances: safety, cost-savings and market competitiveness. “There are a lot more, but these are key to highlight,” says Daniel Frostberg, Sales Director, Bruks Siwertell.

Bruks Siwertell Group company, Bruks Siwertell AB, based in Bjuv, Sweden, has completed the installation of a solar panel system on the facility’s roof. The 758 panels are estimated to generate approximately 400,000 kWh annually, offsetting more than a third of the site’s total energy consumption.

Did you know that at Bruks Siwertell Group’s Atlanta-based business unit, Bruks Siwertell Inc, every customer is assigned a dedicated key account manager to ensure consistent communication and personalized support? This approach pairs each customer with a direct point of contact and embodies the company’s commitment to customer excellence.

The role of woodyards is reaching a critical juncture. For a papermill, raw material is the biggest cost, and this is beginning to increase. Power plants have discovered co-firing as an effective way to offset their use of coal, with some switching to biomass entirely. Meanwhile, there is increasing demand for biomass-derived fuels throughout the transport sector; all competing for feedstocks of sustainably sourced processed wood and wood waste.
