Westmill develops & installs fastest Veneer Vacuum Feeder available today |
|
Westmill was approached by Dave Cooper, Veneer Superintendent at Sunpine Forest Products, Rocky Mountain House Alberta and asked to help increase dryer production.
Firstly, by simply installing Westmill's over-lappers for under $1000 USD per deck, a 5 % gain in production was immediately realized. This improvement took 1 day to install and immediately paid for itself while setting new production records from the first day in operation.
Secondly, Westmill replaced Sunpine's 4 year old Vacuum Feeder with Westmill's "Quick-Vak" pendulum design Vacuum Feeder. Our feeder is very simple, inexpensive and relatively maintenance free. We had to guarantee that it would operate at a feed rate of at least 20 feeds per minute, and it did that easily on the first day in operation.
