For over 60 years ETC Sawmills Ltd has been a name well established within the UK sawmill industry. In the early 1990’s they invested in a then, industry leading, Soderhamn Eriksson Sawmill, manufactured in Sweden. This mill has served them well and is still going strong today.

They have gone through a period of change since the Soderhamn Eriksson sawmill was installed. They have now recently embarked on a substantial capital expenditure project to upgrade this Soderhamn Eriksson mill with large scale investment in both new technology, machinery and systems.

This is where Indusvent come in, when looking for industry leading dust extraction, ETC Sawmills chose Indusvent as their extraction partners, this along with their unique Super-Blower dust extraction system.

For this mill extraction, a BF90-5.0 Super-Blower filter was selected to meet the heavy demands of the mill production, whilst maintaining a trouble-free energy efficient operational system.

The 3 main suction duct lines from the Super-Blower system were installed complete with explosion isolation valves.

One suction line for the Quad saws, a second for the Triple saws and the third line for the Cross Cut Saws, this line complete with Indusvents unique ‘high pressure’ vacuum system for end of shift clean up.

Using pneumatic shut off dampers, together with our electrical control system, changeover from ‘Saw extraction’ to ‘Clean up mode’ is easily facilitated via the HMI touch screen.

Main Suction Lines:                               3
Vacuum clean up lines:                         1
Air Volume                                            40,000 m3/HR
Main Fan Motor:                                   75kW
Operation:                                             24/7

Following the successful installation of the Super-Blower filter system, well respected, general manager of ETC Sawmills, Mr Martin Roscoe comments, “ I cannot recommend Indusvent highly enough, what a great company to work with. Following investment of upwards of half a million pounds on the installation of class leading dust extraction in our Soderhamn Eriksson mill, this has totally changed the workplace for our staff”.

“Many thanks to all the team at Indusvent”.
