Every beginning is hard
‘It started as just a simple workshop where I did repairs and welding,’ says Ronny Edefall. ‘We grew into a service provider for construction and earthmoving work, and then about eight years ago we bought our first shredder. That let us start making woody biomass out of waste wood and forestry residue, and we sold the renewable fuel to the local biomass cogeneration plant.’
‘We used to use a fast chipper from another manufacturer. But contraries in used wood often caused stoppages, and repair costs were sky-high. So I started looking around for a shredder with a low-speed drum.’ A service company in the area suggested that he take a closer look at the Komptech Crambo. ‘Before we bought the Crambo I had never seen one in operation. But the YouTube videos were very impressive. And then Sonny Strandberg of our local Komptech dealer Aksel Benzin AB guaranteed the machine’s performance. At that point the decision was made. About three weeks later a new Crambo 5200 with tracked chassis was in our yard. When we put it into operation I thought, ‘That’s a damn fine machine.’’
