Sweden’s Norra Timber invests heavily in new Microtec fingerprint technology and second CT Log. Norra Timber Can Soon Track each Log’s “Fingerprint”. “We are taking a technological leap into the future and a massive step in taking the best possible care of the fantastic raw material we have here in northern Sweden. With this new technology we will be able to price products from each log individually, which will lead to better profitability for both us and our customers”, explains Henrik Jönsson, industry Manager at Norra Timber.
Norra Timber produces vintage timber from Norrland in its three sawmills, Kåge, Hissmofors and Sävar. The now planned investments will match the already existing machine park in each sawmill, but with the same goal regarding traceability and measurement. Through this investment, Norra Timber takes a large technological life and enables a product to be tailored on an industrial scale, which has not been possible before.
Kåge will be the first to install the new fingerprint technology. There, a Microtec CT Log will be installed in a newly built timber sorting and the investment will be implemented during 2022-2023. In Hissmofors, a Logeye 302 with X-ray technology will be installed in the timber sorting during the first half of 2022 and finally Norra Timber will build on further on the existing technology that is available through the already existing CT Log in Sävar.
