Aspiration System Audit, Design and Reconstruction
We carried out a thorough audit, mapping, and reconstruction of the client's production aspiration system. Previously, all equipment was connected behind a single filter, which caused excessively low air velocity in many machine tools and led to production problems. We measured air velocities, calculated air requirements, and distributed the equipment between two filters, replacing the old ducting with new piping compliant with the project. The client was handed a comprehensive document folder containing a precise ducting diagram and the measured data.
Project challenge
All the machines were connected to a single filter, which caused low air velocity in several workbenches and resulting problems in the production process. The ductwork had been built incrementally as new machines were added, which meant there was no comprehensive overview or documentation. In addition, a spare aspiration system had to be put into use for the installation of a new machine, for which the missing ductwork had to be designed and built.
How we built it
We mapped the entire system, spent a long time on site, and gathered factual data on the basis of which we prepared the solution approach and the offer. We drew in the entire aspiration ductwork together with the necessary calculations and distributed the machines between two filters according to their importance.
- we checked and measured the air velocities of all machines
- we calculated the air requirements for each consumer
- we removed a large number of old lines and replaced them with new ductwork corresponding to the project
- we closed off unnecessary penetrations
- we distributed the machines between two filters
What we achieved
- a reliable and efficient aspiration solution in which the machines are distributed between two filters
- post-installation measurements that confirmed the system's compliance with the design solution
- sufficient air velocity in the workbenches, which eliminated the previous production problems
- a thorough document folder with an accurate ductwork diagram and measured air velocities
- clear calculations and drawings for future use

Viljandi Aken ja Uks: CNC line installation and dust extraction system construction
We built and installed a CNC line together with an aspiration system installation in the Viljandi Aken ja Uks production facility. The line was first manufactured and tested at the Essepigi factory in Italy, after which we installed the same system in Estonia. We got the system operational before the arrival of the factory representatives, who completed the fine-tuning.
Helland Baltic dust collection system with sanding tables
We added two sanding tables with a back wall and lamellar side walls for intermediate sanding on the Helland Baltic finishing line. To increase the system's efficiency, we offered automatic start-up and pressure control so that the equipment would not run idle. We used equipment from the Danish manufacturer V.Aa. GRAM, which is known for its durability.
Extraction of fine dust from the chipper at the point of origin with a mobile hood
We designed and implemented a solution that removes the fine dust generated during the shredder's operating process directly at the point of origin. We utilized the client's existing aspiration filter, to which we built new ductwork and a movable hood above the machine. In addition, we installed a room extraction nozzle for cleaning tasks. As a result, the need for cleaning and maintenance was reduced and the room remains dust-free.
