Thank you to Iisveden Metsä & Tommy Lindström for your trust in 1point5 Oy and BM&M Screens.

Yesterday we signed a delivery contract for BM&M's CS counterflow by-product screen for delivery and installation in summer this year.

After seeing the results of testing their own by-products in B&M's test facility in the UK, the decision was very fast. 

Swedish Ingenjörsfirma G. Hedlund AB, represented by 1point5 Oy in Finland, will deliver in the summer of 2023 a by-product handling system for Junnikkala Oy's future sawmill in Oulu.

2022-08-15

Junnikkala's Janne Pyy states - Hedlunds commits to be involved in creating a new, more modern, more energy efficient and safer system for handling by-products together with Junnikkala. We are building a facility where the by-products will be handled in a completely different way. Hedlund was able to provide solutions for this.

The Canadian screen manufacturer BM&M, together with the screening giant Rotex have partnered with 1point5 Oy to represent their advanced high-speed gyratory screening solutions in Finland's wood industry

Since 1968 BM&M have delivered over 5000 screening solutions globally, with over 2500 of them in the forest products industries. Klaus Jansson Jr, Sales Director at 1point5 Oy said: "Nordic sawmills have spent too little attention to really maximize the quality and yield of high-quality chips. BM&M screening solutions have new techniques to reduce the amount of chips ending up in sawdust silos and can offer different designs with a smaller footprint as traditional screens."

Patrick Harf, Sales Engineer for BM&M in Europe said: "BM&M are excited to partner with 1point5 Oy in Finland. We are sure that our products will help sawmills to improve their chip quality and screening efficiency. Since BM&M merged with Rotex Europe into The Rotex Group, we are offering spare parts, service and lab-testing from our office in Runcorn/England. Our machines are manufactured in Europe according to European Standards. We are proud the well-connected and dedicated wood experts at 1point5 Oy are partnering with us to have a professional and even more local support in Finland."
