Apr 03, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. UK sawmiller, A & J Scott Ltd., who are based in Northumberland, have ordered a major upgrade its sawmill from Soderhamn Eriksson. Delivery and installation will take place late 2015, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

For the sawline the order consists of a new 3D system that has a MPM scanner, auto-log rotation and a side-shifting LogPos infeed. This system will then feed a factory fully-refurbished Reducer Quad Bandsaw. This equipment will replace an existing 3D system and canter/double arbor circular saw. For the edger we will supply a new Catech 400 with a 3-bladed sawbox to replace their existing line.

Besides supplying the electronic control system for the 3D sawline, Milltech will also replace the control electronics for the whole mill including tray-sorting and subfloor etc.

A & J Scott are a family run business and have now reached the milestone of being in business for 55 years. The company is currently led by Robert Scott who is the third generation to be in charge. Since Robert took over the reins the company has carried on with their plan of investing heavily for the future and the order Soderhamn Eriksson have received is proof of this.
