Production facility heating solution with Metmann air curtains
The heating system at Nordwood's production facility was upgraded with three Metmann water-heated industrial air curtains. The units circulate air within the space at up to 25,000 m³/h, ensuring uniform heat and reducing the inflow of cold air through continuously open doors. The solution improved working conditions and also reduced energy consumption.
Project challenge
The Aegviidu Puit enquiry arrived in the autumn of 2024, when one production unit had cold working conditions. The specific nature of the production facility – constantly open doors – made finding an efficient heating solution challenging. The wind tunnel created through the open doors resulted in significant heat loss, and maintaining the working environment temperature proved difficult.
How we built the solution
To solve the problem, we installed industrial water-heated air curtains from the Metmann range in the production facility, directing warm air in front of the open doors and preventing the inflow of cold air.
- Three Metmann industrial water-heated air curtains
- Air circulation capacity up to 25,000 m³/h
Result
The solution ensures uniform heat throughout the entire production facility and reduces the inflow of cold air through the open doors. In addition to improved working conditions, energy costs were also reduced, maintaining a comfortable room temperature.

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.
Gas catalytic converter activated carbon filter installation
An activated carbon filter system with a gas catalyst sourced from Sweden, purifying 55,000 m³/h of air from solvent vapours. Elister OÜ carried out a 150 m rectangular duct air trunk line (1500 x 1000 mm), the installation of the filter system, and the automation cabling. The work was completed in accordance with the client's requirements and confirmed Elister OÜ's capability to take on the main contracting of larger projects.
