| 1. Log sorting & debarking departments |
 |
 |
Log sorting line. |
|---|---|
 |
Beginning of the line with log feeding and this booth. |
 |
Because of general hassle near this booth (workers in the adjacent hall), we didn't go in. It would have doubtlessly held equipment worth checking, like the log scanner. |
 |
Yes, this sawmill is one of the few places where we've encountered non-faked radiation warnings. |
 |
I have to wonder why a warning light had been placed under the booth. Was this really the correct place - or did some summer worker misread the drawings.. |
 |
Absolutely no logs in the bins now. |
 |
Debarking house was next in the line and also functionally the following phase. |
 |
Buffer log storage and infeeding lines. The doors were not locked. |
 |
If the mill was in action, I'm not sure if anybody standing here would have time to read the warning plate about falling logs - before being hit by a falling log. |
 |
View to side transfer from the debarking line. |
 |
Side transfer again. |
 |
Still admiring the mechanical wonders of side transfer. |
 |
This messy thing is the debarker. |
 |
The ring debarker's feeders. Hell, it was an American machine, and we have the world's leading producer of these very machines in Finland! What are Ens0's buyers thinking.. |
 |
..Canadian oil for the American machine. |
 |
"Special machine", wow. |
 |
A wallful of connection boxes and circuit breakers. |
 |
Operator's quarters. |
