Söderhamn Eriksson's new Catech Edger started up at BSW site

Jan 20, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Söderhamn Eriksson manufactures the fastest Edger optimizer in the world – the Catech 4000 – and the latest installation of such a machine has just taken place in the UK, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

BSW Sawmills placed an order for the Catech 4000 last year, BSW are the largest sawmillers in the UK with a group capacity of over 1 million cubic metres. The Catech 4000 was to be installed at one of their 7 UK sawmills based in Newbridge-on-Wye, Wales. Installation commenced in early December and timing was very tight with a targeted start-up date of 5th January.

Both SE and BSW are very proud that the installation went extremely well which involved a lot of hard work and excellent cooperation between SE’s engineers, BSW’s staff and sub-suppliers. This resulted in the line starting up as planned and also achieving full production within 1 week. Since then it is being run on a 3 shift, 24/7 basis at the Newbridge-on-Wye mill who’s production is 150,000 cubic metres.
