Abstract
Mitrovica is known as the region in which the first saws of timber were set there. Today this region supplies a very large part of Kosovo with sawn timber (coniferous). The trunks of coniferous species in this region are: pine, fir and spruce which mainly are imported from Montenegro. In this study, we tried to bring interesting data on the subjects of this region for sawing trunks and production efficiency of sawn timber, as well as field losses or form of waste, wood residue and sawdust.
To conduct the study, there were taken a number of conifers, were sawn and measured to determine the efficiency of sawing trunks. Results of the study are provided below:
The volume of sawing logs 23.071 m3
Boards 16.268 m3
Wood residue 3.941 m3
Sawdust 2.548 m3
Others 0.313 m3
The study shows that, by sawing trunks were produced 70.52% boards, 17.08% wood residue, 11.04% sawdust, and 1.36% others.
If worked with better technical measures, by performing division of trunks according to diameters and by calculation of models by maximum sawing for each trunk diameter, sawing trunks efficiency would be higher.
Keywords: trunks, sawn timber, wood residue, sawdust, conifer.
