The challenge

  • Handle wood cutting residues from a saw.
    • Sawdust, lumber scraps etc.
  • Height differential between the material reception point and the discharge point. (inclined equipment required)
  • Equipment must be designed to avoid particle jams that could generate fire hazards.
  • Required equipment must be sealed to minimize cleaning work.
  • Equipment must be chosen and designed to minimize maintenance work.
  • Equipment must be robust and durable.
  • Equipment must allow separation of sawdust from the material.

Our solution

  • Installation of a vibrating feeder to extract materials from under the saw.
    • Sealed design.
  • Installation of a spring-mounted vibrating conveyor with balancer.
    • Sealed vibrating trough for all material types.
  • Installation of inclined equipment to allow elevated unloading of the material.
  • Installation of a screening section for sawdust.

Results

  • Sturdy and sealed equipment that minimizes cleaning work.
  • Equipment that requires minimal maintenance.
