Segezha Pellet Plant in operation since end of November

At the end of November, the Russian Segezha Group commissioned its new pellet mill on the site of the Siberian sawmill LKD 1 in Lesosibirsk. The plant, designed for a production capacity of 70,000 t/year, was built by the Russian Hekotek subsidiary Sorb as general contractor. The Italian plant manufacturer Baschild supplied a high-temperature dryer. The presses were supplied by the US plant manufacturer CPM Holdings. The investment volume amounted to 816.6m rubles (equivalent to around 10.8m €).

The pellet plant was included in the list of priority projects of Kray Krasnojarsk as part of the expansion of the wood industry site in Lesosibirsk. LDK 1 has logging licences totalling 2.9m m³ of round timber per year, of which only about one third is currently used. Of this, 1m m³ of coniferous logs are processed into 500,000 m³ of sawn timber per year.
