At Ligna we will tell you about the new generation of continuous kilns and how the new features in our control system Valmatics 4.0 improve both drying and financial results for sawmills around the world.

Simply put, it is about next-level optimization that makes the most of every board, but also about sustainability from design to high-quality processes.

To increase quality yield and gain greater flexibility in production, Holmen, one of Scandinavia's leading sawmill groups, has chosen to rebuild its drying fleet at its sawmill in Bygdsiljum, Sweden. An older continuous kiln is being "retired" and replaced with four state-of-the-art batch kilns from Swedish Valutec.
