Halswell Timber – Case Study

Halswell Timber in Christchurch recently turned to Egmont Air for their industry experience when needing to upgrade their dust extraction system.

Egmont Air designed and installed a unique combination of three modular extraction systems that are interconnected. This gives Halswell Timber the ability and diversity to be able to process treated and untreated products by separating the wood dust & shavings through filters and fans into separate containers.

Haswell’s Machine-shop Manager comments:

“From plans to fruition, the system works exactly how we envisioned, more than halving our downtime”.  Mr Todd Prestidge from Egmont Air comments “Our goal is to provide a dust extraction that increases efficiencies and productivity by removing waste, allowing machines to perform better and provide a workplace that is healthy and clean from respiratory dust”
