CASE How Södra Boosted Efficiency with DISAB SkipVAC™ | Wood Industry

Efficient, safe cleaning in food production provided by DISAB

When it comes to operational excellence and environmental responsibility, the right equipment can redefine the game. The collaboration between Södra and DISAB shines a light on how innovation can drive measurable results. This case study offers an inspiring look at how Södra leveraged the DISAB SkipVAC™ to elevate their operations to new heights.

Södra’s need for an industrial vacuum cleaner wasn’t part of the original plan. However, real-world challenges often rewrite the script. What began as a spontaneous need turned into an opportunity to collaborate with DISAB and transform daily operations. By choosing the DISAB SkipVAC™, Södra not only found an efficient solution but also strengthened its sustainability mission.

The Initial Challenge

When Södra planned to relocate its cutting unit, the assumption was that vacuum systems wouldn’t be needed. But the operational reality soon proved otherwise. The need for effective material handling and waste removal arose rapidly, pushing the team to find a reliable solution fast.

Turning Point: Finding DISAB

Sometimes, the best ideas come from colleagues. A simple suggestion to explore DISAB led Södra to consider three options. Among them, DISAB SkipVAC™ stood out—proving to be the most adaptable and effective solution for their immediate and long-term needs.

The decision wasn’t made lightly. DISAB’s SkipVAC™ offered a powerful yet compact design, tailor-made for industrial environments like Södra’s. It wasn’t just about cleaning; it was about enhancing productivity while aligning with Södra’s green goals.

From the get-go, communication between DISAB and Södra was open, honest, and responsive. Operators were involved early, ensuring that the equipment would fit seamlessly into daily workflows. Such collaboration set the tone for success.

The results speak for themselves

The SkipVAC™ wasn’t just another vacuum unit. It delivered:

  • High Suction Power: Handling various materials with ease.
  • Large Collection Capacity: Fewer interruptions, higher efficiency.
  • Ease of Use: Operators quickly adapted, boosting productivity.

Post-installation, the improvements were crystal clear. Waste handling became faster, safer, and far more efficient. The SkipVAC™ enabled a smoother operation, reduced downtime, and allowed Södra to focus on what it does best: responsible forestry.

Environmental responsibility isn’t just a slogan for Södra—it’s a way of life. The SkipVAC™ supported these ambitions by reducing waste and enhancing material recovery, thus minimizing the site’s environmental footprint.

A solution is only as good as the support behind it. DISAB’s after-sales service ensured that Södra’s SkipVAC™ kept running at peak performance, strengthening the partnership even after the purchase was made.

Voices from the Ground: Operator Insights

Operators at Södra were quick to praise the SkipVAC™. Its intuitive controls and powerful suction capabilities made it an indispensable part of their daily operations, transforming tasks that once took hours into swift, simple jobs.

“Seamless process, always next to the client. The fact that operators were involved in the decision process was very important for us. We are super satisfied and really happy with both the process and the product.”
