Intermediate sanding is often a necessary procedure in the woodworking industry, where, in addition to sanding, the dust generated must also be collected. Although in many cases this can be done with just a sander and a vacuum cleaner, it becomes more complex when there are several sanding sites. It is not economically viable to purchase a separate vacuum cleaner for each grinder, as their motors require frequent replacement due to the heavy loads they are subjected to, and energy consumption also increases significantly.
A more effective solution is to centralise the dust removal system and add automation. Such a system starts the filter when the first workstation is activated and automatically opens the valves in the required work zone, thus saving energy. As each workstation starts up, the corresponding valve opens, ensuring optimum use of power according to the need of the moment, while a large unit is not needed as not all operators are grinding at the same time. When the last workstation stops, the filter automatically switches off, further optimising system efficiency.
This approach not only reduces energy consumption and wear and tear on equipment, but also makes the whole process smoother and more environmentally friendly.
For this project we used GRAM high vacuum unit HFU together with the central dust collection piping and automation built in, allowing for the most optimal and user-friendly use.
The grinding dust residue generated by all jobs is now collected under the machine in a collection box, and energy consumption is significantly reduced.

Natural AS is a well known domestic woodworker in Estonia, which started its production in 1990 in Koeru and has continuously invested in the development of the company and production. Natural AS's main products are strength graded planed timber (framing material), decking material, various profiled boards, precision engineered wood components and roofing ferms.
The company had set up a modern wood dyeing hall, where they wanted to install a modern and economical ventilation system that could also serve as a drying room if necessary.
The heat energy recovery efficiency is above 80%.
We supplied Natural AS with an efficient heat recovery ventilation system with a heat recovery efficiency of over 80%.
We ensured that the system would work relatively automatically and that the switchover between on and off mode would be automatic.
As Natural's representatives wanted to have a drying mode for drying wood materials other than paint, we supplied a machine with this option and created a corresponding function in the automation.

The Barrus timber industry is located among the forests of Võrumaa in Verijärvi. Elevandi's self-confidence and hard work have made Barrus a market leader in the field of glued laminated timber components throughout Europe.
Barrus approached us to adapt and extend an air humidification system previously installed in their large warehouse. Positive experience with the system's operation and results gave us the confidence to extend this approach to new premises.
In a new three-zone warehouse, the client wanted to ensure a stable and high humidity level in each zone separated by curtains or doors 80%RH.
Such a system is essential to keep the wet sawn timber to be stored in optimum conditions before it is sent to the dryer to avoid premature drying.
If the temperature in the pipework is close to the freezing point - there is no need to switch anything on separately.
We set about designing a plan that would meet the client's requirements, including customized irrigation zones that would allow for spraying primarily from the top down, thus creating an even layer of moisture in each storage area. The location of the control system was chosen by the client for the interior of the building, which ensured easy access and efficient monitoring of the system.
Our solution ensures that the moisture level does not drop below 80%, meeting the customer's need to keep the material moist before it enters the dryer. The pipework is insulated against the winter cold and equipped with an automatic heating cable that is activated immediately when the temperature in the pipework is close to the freezing point - no need to switch anything on separately.
Putting the needs of our customers first is at the core of our business philosophy, and we are proud to be able to offer such personalised and high quality solutions. This project is about our commitment to delivering solutions that not only meet the current needs of our customers, but also lay the foundation for long-term success.

At the end of 2021, we started negotiations with window and door manufacturer Viking Windows on a new potential robotic solution. Namely, the customer wanted to upgrade the painting part of an already existing line and add additional automated robotic functions.
The aim was to create a painting area for two robots that use a scanner to detect and paint the product. The entire line was to be operated by a single person. Two painting robots from the manufacturer CMA, marked GR6100E, were used.
The robots were once again equipped with a GRACO colour change system for six colours, powered by GRACO Merkur colour pumps.
To make it easier to hang larger and heavier products on the conveyor, a "Drop Section" with a lifting capacity of up to 200kg was installed.
For the automatic cleaning of products, we installed ionizers with rotor heads and dust static dischargers. cleaning unit, with a working height of 2.8 m and a working width selectable up to 250 mm. The start and stop of the machine is automated by means of a moving boom detection.
Most of us probably know the proverb "A rainy iron summer", and we can say that this would probably best describe the maintenance of irrigation systems or the creation of new systems.
Our good customer wanted to modernise the factory irrigation system with some special conditions. The system had to be as maintenance-free as possible, and the control panel had to be located in the technicians' room.
For our part, we can assure the client that the services we offer are. UniFogi the pipe-feeding system meets all these requirements. In addition, the client already has experience with our irrigation system when we installed an additional zone in an outbuilding based on a pipe irrigation system. Pipe irrigation requires no more maintenance than changing the oil and seals in the water pump when the water is good, and the control panel can be up to 500 metres from the pumping station.
As this was one of the largest irrigation systems we had delivered, with 16 irrigation zones in total, it took a total of three weeks to install.
