The big challenge when it comes to industrial projects in developing countries is to find simple and durable equipment that give high productivity and quality. Klas Bengtsson in Sweden has made this challenge his mission in life. In Tanzania, the result was a plant of eight frame saws from Laks. The sawmills paid off in eight months and they produce 1 060 000 cubic feet of lumber per year.

Drying lumber is a great challenge for small-scale woodworkers. You can let nature do the job, but then it takes five years until the lumber is dried to levels acceptable for cabinet-makers. With the Sauno kiln it takes a couple of weeks. Now, Logosol starts selling it.
The Sauno kiln has existed almost as long as the Logosol Sawmill. It was designed and constructed by Leif Matsson in Dikanäs, Sweden, and manufacturing of it begun in 1990. At the start, complete systems were manufactured. Today, you get a drying unit and instructions for building the kiln box. “The customer decides the size and can install several drying units for larger volumes,” says Leif. Today, he works for a larger company, “Leaving a forest to take care of itself is not good environmentalism,” The Sauno lumber kiln is available in Plano System AB, which delivers tools says Klas Bengtsson, who runs two projects in South America that two sizes: 2000 and 4000 watt.

Innovative wood processing products - www.logosol.com - 13 Ten years ago, Martin Hall came to Madison, MS from Harnosand, Sweden with big plans - to cut the world’s longest 2 X 4 with one of the world’s smallest sawmills. He worked with Madison City officials, got permission to bring a long pine tree into a new industrial park in the city, and set about constructing a series of Logosol M5 sawmills that would do the job. Amazingly, he succeeded, and the resulting 2 X 4 went into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s longest 2 X 4 on record. The Madison School system adopted the ultra-long 2 X 4, had the school kids sign it, and called it their ”board of education!” It was an impressive start in America for Logosol. It showed this was no ordinary sawmill and no ordinary company that was beginning to do business in the US! Martin Hall. Logosol Celebrates Ten Years of Marketing Innovation in the U.S.
