Powerful air knife solution sweeps the dust off for MDF board manufacturer
Issue
Nelson Pine Industries Limited is the largest producer of MDF fibreboards and LVL timbers in the Southern hemisphere. Their Richmond processing factory employs 200 plus people and numerous local suppliers as part of its massive operation.
So when they were having problems with excessive fibreboard dust particles covering manufactured boards ready for packaging, they tried a number of compressed air blower solutions. All to little avail.

Action
PSL Total Air presented a powerful, energy and compressed air efficient solution. Designed to deliver a forceful uniform sheet of compressed air to any surface needing to be cleaned, dried, or cooled quickly.
