Static electricity neutralisation in the woodworking industry – charge reduced from 12.3 kV to below 750 V
During the treatment of wood surfaces, the static charge reached up to 12.3 kV in places, making the process uncomfortable and unsafe for workers. We installed two iONstream 4.0 neutralisation units – one for the lower surface and another for the upper surface. As a result, the charge dropped to a range of 400–750 V, creating a safe and stable working environment for the staff.

Factory Vacuum Compensation with Ventilation Unit
We installed a water-heated ventilation unit together with control automation and a water node at the factory of window manufacturer Viljandi Aken ja Uks to compensate for the air extracted by various equipment. The system ensures air exchange at a volume of 20 000 m³/h, filters the supply air with filtration grade M5, and heats the air to a level suitable for the indoor climate.
Ventilation of the press room in the production facility
For the press room of Tarmeko LPD's new production building, we prepared the ventilation design and working drawings, supplied the equipment, and carried out the installation. Forming with the presses generates fumes, which is why we built a solution where odours are extracted from above each machine and compensated with fresh, clean air. The result is an improved working environment and more comfortable working conditions.
Extraction and filtration solution for metalworking benches serving 8 workstations
We designed and installed an extraction and filtration solution for a metalworking shop where 8 machine tools generated haze and emulsion in the air. Each machine was fitted with an OUF centrifugal oil separator and a shared GRAM CLEAN AIR filter FL 104, which returns the cleaned air back into production. The system starts based on the machine tools' signal and ensures cleaner room air and healthier working conditions.
