Jarl Timber AB

Raw material arrival

Timber is transported from the forest to a storage area, close to an approved forest road.

Logging trucks then collect the timber for transport on to the sawmill. The drivers unload the timber as directed to await measurement.

Measurement and sorting

Each individual log is registered and measured automatically. The logs are assessed on the basis of type, grade, volume and length. This is done by the Timber Measurement Society, an independent control body that deals with timber measurement.

The logs are then sorted into different classes according to the wishes of the sawmill.

At Jarl Timber the logs are sawn on one of its two saw lines.

Saw line 1 (rough logs)

Our main line is a straight state-of-the-art high-tech ARI saw line. Double band saws, resawing machines and curve sawing give a high sawing yield and allow our high quality requirements to be met.

Saw line 2 (small sawtimber)

A simple yet rational saw line for small sawtimber.

The drying process exists to reduce the moisture content of the timber to the desired level – 18% in normal cases.

Chamber kilns

We have 8 chamber kilns. The drying time in our normal production is approximately 3-4 days depending on the dimensions of the timber.

Progressive kiln

Our new progressive kiln is our most recent investment. Primarily intended for our central production, it will increase our drying capacity by approximately 50,000 m³.

After storage, the dried wood can take several paths to be made into a final product.

Added-Value

The timber is graded and packed as desired and in accordance with the applicable standards.

Moulder 1

Mainly used for bulk production of construction timber, smooth planing, and quality grading.

Moulder 2 (Millennium)

Flexible equipment offering a wide variety of packaging options. Excellent for both planks and boards.

Packaging

The last stage on the way to a fully finished product is packaging. Packaging is very important to protect the timber from the effects of strong sunlight, damp, etc in order to ensure that the product remains in good condition all the way to the end customer.
