With the goal of increasing drying capacity, Finnish sawmill company Luvian Saha Oy has invested in one new FB-continuous kiln and the modernization of three older continuous kilns from Valutec, and includes the Valmatics 4.0 controls for all four kilns. This investment highlights the long standing relationship between the softwood sawmiller and Valutec. 

“Numerous joint projects and the experiences gained from them have shown that Valutec is a reliable and precise partner in implementing growth and development projects related to the drying process. We look forward to the success of this new project in line with our shared goals,” says Veli-Matti Puuska, CEO, Luvian Saha Oy.

The project will start at the Luvia sawmill in early summer 2025 with commissioning in the fall of 2025.

“Our cooperation with Luvian Saha Oy has been fruitful and long-standing. We are proud to continue this tradition with a new project that brings new opportunities to improve drying quality and increase the level of automation in the kilns,” says Eric Johansson, Marketing Manager, Valutec.
