The Scottish Windymains Timber sawmill, a member of the Glennon Brothers Group, picked SPRINGER’s innovative and reliable log solutions when it updated its log sorting plant in East Lothian. The existing equipment, such as the feed deck and butt-end reducer from the old system, were added to SPRINGER’s new system concept.

Despite the current restrictions, the modernised log sorting plant was commissioned on schedule. The system was fitted on the customer’s premises in Scotland at the beginning of the year. What’s more, the tried-and-tested SPRINGER screw technology and a new rotating log feeder were added to the old log infeed conveyor. In order to carry out commissioning on time and not to risk the health of staff, SPRINGER commissioned a system remotely for the first time. Therefore, electrical and electronic commissioning of the machinery was carried out by trained SPRINGER experts directly from the Friesach site.

On November 27, the „Innovations- und Forschungspreis des Landes Kärnten 2020“ was awarded in an online press conference. SPRINGER was able to convince the jury with the ED 3000 Wrapper, the innovative fully automatic packaging machine, in the category "large companies".

The fully automatic wrapping machine can be equipped with welding heads or the specially developed SPRINGER stitching module. Thus the innovatice machine concept of the ED 3000 enables an efficient and automatic wrapping of lumber pakages with polyethylene or woven material, without interrupting the production process. Depending on the module, a weld seam or a stitched seam guarantees the required tightness of the film hood.

Service and maintenance solutions that optimally match the needs of the system are an important part of SPRINGER‘s product and service range. The well-trained SPRINGER service team has now also been able to convince Holzindustrie Stallinger GmbH of the benefits of a comprehensive SPRINGER service package.

In order to maintain the long-term performance of the lumber sorting system at the sawmill site in Frankenmarkt, the service package includes amongst others the expansion of the existing lumber sorting system. The plant will be extended by five additional trays, including a mischannelled board diverter. In addition, a SPRINGER board unscrambler will be installed in the area of board singulation to meet the new performance requirements.

SPRINGER continues to develop its products and services to offer its customers the best possible solutions. We have therefore added a new Service Order System in our Customer Service Centre.

SPRINGER also provides optimum maintenance and service strategies for its projects after commissioning. The SPRINGER Customer Service Team's competent assistance and a complete customised service package also won over Holzwerke Bullinger, one of the largest European manufacturers of construction timber including glulam and duo/trio laminated beams. 

The complete package, which is for the company's sawmill facilities in Neuruppin, includes an expansion to the existing sorting line, a length sorting line and a comprehensive spare parts package. A Plant Fitness Check was also carried out to determine additional possibilities for optimisation, identify necessary part replacement and present the customer with a comprehensive report on the current situation of the plant as well as its potential. 

The Canadian veneer manufacturer Coastland Wood Industries turned to SPRINGER's innovative technology solutions to upgrade their log merchandizing area with a complete system from SPRINGER, together with its partner company, Microtec.  

On Vancouver Island, a SPRINGER log infeed deck was installed along with a screw log feeder as an interface for integrating the line into the existing sorting system. The new line includes an infeed deck for logs up to 18 metres and eight saws for the production of 2.6 m shortwood logs, as well as a defect saw for processing very crooked logs. SPRINGER's trusted screw technology combined with Microtec's control and Logeye Multi-Sensor Scanner enables the system to handle 26,000 shortwood logs per day.

To meet our responsibility towards the environment, protect important resources and make a positive contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, SPRINGER offsets its annual CO2 emissions in accordance with the Clean Development Mechanism.

A detailed analysis was performed to calculate how many tonnes of CO₂-equivalent pollutants are being emitted and determine the size of our carbon footprint. SPRINGER compensates for its CO₂ emissions by supporting a hydroelectric power project in India, thus making an important contribution to successfully reducing global emissions.

After two years of project planning, the team around our head of projet planning Gert Fischinger was able to convince the Swedish group SCA of the innovative and powerful products of SPRINGER and to continue the successful partnership. SCA is investing in a new SPRINGER dry sorting plant at SCA Bollsta. The system will be both, one of the largest and one of the fastest systems on the market. The plant will include amongst others the E-Cut 200, ED 3000 Wrapper, RLS and the digital systems such as IOT and GoLive!

Kirchner Säge- und Hobelwerk GmbH also relies on individual and tailor-made plant concepts by SPRINGER. The newly built sawmill at the Radstadt site (Austria) has been equipped with a SPRINGER timber plant for main and side boards.

The assembly work of the tailor-made timber plant including packaging started at the end of 2018. Already in March of this year, the plant was successfully put into operation by the company Kirchner.
