AS Hekotek has signed a contract for the supply of equipment to Atlant sawmill located in Jantal village, Irkutsk region of Russia.
Hekotek will supply a set of own-manufactured equipment for this new sawmill complex, including lines for log sorting, log in-feed, sawn timber sorting, as well as conveyor system for collecting and removal of sawdust.
“Considering that a ban on the export of round timber will enter into force in Russia from 2022, the construction of the new sawmill facilities is an important step. It ensures maintaining jobs in the region’s forest sector, as well as local processing of Siberia’s high-quality sawlogs,” comments Dmitry Gidenko, Atlant LLC project manager.
The first rail-cars with the equipment are to be shipped to Siberia already this summer, while the start-up of the whole sawmill and reaching of the project capacity are planned for the summer 2022.
Hekotek is a mechanical engineering company founded in 1992; its main operations include design and production of woodworking technologies and facilities.
