Wood dust collection system decreased production downtime with 73%

Orma, a well-established manufacturer of high-quality particle boards in Turkey, has become a pioneer in the sector through their sustainable approach to production and constant development of their board patterns and surfaces. By investing in a Nederman dust collection extraction system, Orma increased the safety for their workers, achieved higher operational efficiency as well as reduced the energy consumption in the production, supporting their sustainable approach.

Wood dust causing inefficient production

During the years, Orma have established a leading market position by offering a wide range of particle boards to their customers using leftover wood from Turkish forest areas, maintained by the General Directorate of Forestry, and with the principle of “Respect for the Tree”. However, as all woodworking manufacturers they have to handle the wood dust in their production and cope with the challenges that dusty factory environments imposes.

A significant challenge causing inefficiency in the production of the particle boards was the dust in the process of the melamine press lines. During the process, the boards are pressed together with impregnated decor papers at a high temperature. At this stage, dust had ended up in the lines and required that regular production stops had to be made to remove the dust from the tapes, resulting in downtime and operational inefficiencies.

Wood dust collection system reduced operational downtime with 73%

To remedy the challenges with the dust in the press lines, a Nederman MCP SmartFilter was installed. The multi-purpose dust collection filtration system was customized to extract dust from below the bands at all times as the line is running, to keep the press lines clean. The installation resulted in a 73% less downtime due to tape removal. A significant improvement in efficiency and energy consumption, as well as increased safety for the workers by minimising the risks of combustible dust explosions.

- Nederman assisted in setting up the system and conducting analysis studies. They met all our expectations. Existing team members worked as a team and ensured the establishment of the system in a short time, says Orma Team Leader
