Static and mobile

sawmill solutions

Mobile sawmills have become increasingly popular in recent years, offering a

practical solution to processing large pieces of timber on site. This allows timber

to be turned into a usable form without the need for equipment or haulage

facilities to transport it to the sawmill and back. However, there will always be

a need for the static mill, and with that in mind Forestry Journal brings you the

best of both, with some of the latest offerings in static and mobile sawmills.

FROM purpose-built 24-hour facilities in

Yorkshire, Dakin-Flathers has combined

its 125 years of saw manufacturing

experience and developed a premium

sawmill blade said to last 37 per cent

longer than the competition.

Ripper37 is crafted from high-quality,

carbon-rich western European steel,

developed with unique metallurgical

properties to deliver the optimum balance

between strength and flexibility.

An extensive digitally controlled quality

assurance programme, which involves

photographic tooth profile checks, set

analysis, straightness testing, hardness

testing and microstructural analysis,

results in a blade that cuts straighter, with

harder, longer-lasting teeth, producing

one of the most superior blades on the

market.

Ripper37 is described by Dakin-

Flathers as offering 37 per cent greater

durability than its leading rivals; up to

100% more re-grinds; unparalleled ‘out-of-

the-box’ performance; minimal waste and

maximum cutting power; improved quality

of finish on the sawn timber; and reduced

production costs and more profit for you

and your company.

Thanks to its focus on quality and

performance, Dakin–Flathers has grown

from being the leading supplier in the

UK to one of the leading suppliers in the

world, exporting to over 100 countries,

with an unrivalled worldwide reputation for

quality and performance.

Dakin-Flathers has partnered with

Stephen Cull BladeMaster to distribute its

full range of sawmill blades in the UK. For

many years, Stephen represented a well-

known sawmill manufacturer throughout

Wales and the west of England, gaining

extensive technical experience of all their

equipment, and is well respected within

the industry.

Stephen said: “I’m proud to be able to

offer this top-quality British-made sawmill

blade to those in the trade who, like me,

are striving for productivity, profit and

perfection in our sawmilling.”

As well as distributing Ripper37 blades,

Stephen Cull also offers a full blade

resharpen service, sawmill servicing and

technical advice borne out of over two

decades’ experience.

Remember, the heart of any sawmill

is the blade itself. Your sawmill will only

ever be as good as the blade used on it,

so choosing the correct one is critical to

maximise your cutting performance and

output.
