"I purchased a set of Balmec inner feed wheels for my H480c, I have had them on now for one year and they are still as good as new."
“It (the Z30 SC measuring wheel) performs exceptionally well when measuring trees with loose bark like the Larch. There are no signs of wear so far (after harvesting 4,300m³) and Murray on the forwarder is still happy with the accuracy of the lengths when he is loading two bunks of 3m chip!”
“Reliability and accuracy - that's what I got when I bought my measuring wheels from Balmec.”
Company called Metsavennad Grupp gets registered. The aim is to offer forestry machine operator services and most basic assistance for harvesters. For an example: chain sharpening, hose service, repair weldings etc.
First feed rollers are produced. Fortunately we got those back from our good customer after (about) 13 000 working hours. We managed to make the deal when he came back to get a new pair for his John Deere 745 harvester head.
Export sales starts to Poland and Sweden as first official Balmec reseller agreements are made with Saltus Serwis S.C. and Stigs Maskin AB
A brand new company called Balmec Forest OÜ and Trade Mark “Balmec” are registered. The aim is to build up our own reseller network so more customers could get our products as fast as possible.
Export sales starts to Latvia and Lithuania.
Close co-operation with our main steel supplier SSAB leads to Balmec’s very first delimbing knives. They are designed for John Deere 758HD harvester head and because of several improvements in construction, we sometimes see them running even today (after “who-knows-how-many-working-hours”)
John Deere Forestry starts to sell all of our products through its retail network across Europe. First sales are also made to Russia and Brazil.
Balmec buys a part of old peat producing factory founded in 1938. Entire production and machinery is moved from two rental locations in Pärnu, 30km outside of city – a small village named Tootsi. As the facility is really old, a lot of construction work and renovation needs to be done. This remains a challenge even today as we always want something to be better in the factory.
First official reseller in Australia.
Due to continuous investments in modern CNC-machinery, new product lines are introduced: feed roller arms, various top knives, chain catchers and more. In autumn we launched a whole series of track accessories – some of the top selling products even today.
After countless profile tests Balmec SC-type lenght measuring wheel is released to serial production. Model range covers all of the most common harvester heads and is updated monthly. It’s the first measuring wheel that can handle even loose bark without the need to measure same log several times. Productivity increase is that simple.
Balmec produces feed roller number 10 000. It was made for Log Max 6000 harvester head and the roller was shipped to Canada.
After great success from the test period, serial production of eucalyptus debarking rollers begin. First models are designed for John Deere, Komatsu and Log Max harvester heads but we’ve got even more coming.
