A new, UK-based trade association focused on biomass heating was launched in June. The Wood Fuel and Heating Association aims to provide a clear, informed and responsible voice for the UK wood fuel and heating sector. Biomass Magazine “Wood fuel and biomass heating already support homes, businesses and industry across the UK while also contributing to forestry management, rural employment and the wider transition towards low-carbon heat,” the group said in a statement. “Despite this, the sector has historically lacked a single coordinated body focused on representing those interests consistently, constructively and with practical industry expertise. “WFHA has been created to help address that need and to powerfully advocate the benefits of the sector,” the organization continued. The WFHA will represent organizations across the UK wood fuel and heating sector supply chain, including wood fuel producers; wood fuel suppliers and distributors; boiler and appliance manufacturers; installers, engineers and maintenance providers; equipment suppliers; landowners; commercial and industrial heat users; and professional and advisory organizations. According to the WFHA, it will represent members’ interests in the areas of air quality and emissions policy; renewable heat and energy policy; sustainability and fuel standards; the future role of sustainable wood heating on the UK; biomass boiler standards; and training, skills and job creation.

Kesla has expanded its range of accessories for harvester heads by introducing the new BB360 rotator, enabling unlimited rotation without traditional movement restrictions. The solution responds to the growing demands for efficiency, productivity, and machine utilisation in forestry operations, as well as to increasingly demanding working conditions. Source: Timberbiz The BB360 rotator eliminates the restrictions related to hose routing between the boom and the harvester head, which have traditionally limited the working area and increased the risk of hose and control cable damage. These challenges have often led to unplanned downtime and additional maintenance costs. Similar types of solutions are in use among other harvester head manufacturers in various configurations, and the concept has proven to be reliable in demanding field conditions. The new rotator solution enhances working efficiency and allows operators to focus on what matters most, as there is no longer a need to constantly monitor the orientation of the harvester head in relation to energy transfer and cabling. This enables smoother and more uninterrupted work, even in challenging environments. The KESLA BB360 rotator is manufactured in Finland and is currently available installed on KESLA 24RH-III and 26RH-III harvester heads. Availability will be expanded in the future to meet customer needs across different markets.
