Blow Pipe Manufactures Urges Maximum Use of Waste Fuel

"For some time past we have been selling the idea of the utilization of waste fuelfrom lumber and woodworking plants by industries located nearby which need heat or steam," said Claude Rees, president of the well-known Rees Blow Pipe Mfg. Co., Inc., of San Francisco and Los Angeles. "We even go so far as to suggest to owners of plants having waste fuel to dispose of that they invite new heat or steam using industries such as laundries, greenhouses, etc., to locate their plants close enough to take advantage of this cheap fuel.

"One such installation which we recently completed conveys the shavings from a box factory a distance of 500 feet to a greenhouse, where they are automatically fed into a Dutch oven, which maintains a steam pressure automatical- ly controlled. of between 50 and 60 pounds. This greenhouse formerly used for heating purpoies in excess oT ZOOO barrels of fuel oil a year with much less satisfactory results," said Mr. Rees.

Recent work completed by the Rees Blow Pipe Mfg. Co. includes a-high--pressure, blower system conveying shavings from the box factory of the Ewauna Box Co. af Klam.fh Falls to the power hou.e at their sawmill. This line rvas run underground and was made from standard steel casing.

This compan)- enjoyed a very successful year in 1929, showing an increase in foreign business as w-ell as domes!ic. A recent important oveiseas shipment was that of a knocked-down blow pipe system shipped to the island of Hilo, T. H., for installation in a lumber manufacturing plant.

Just at the moment they are remodeling the whole blower system of the Saginaw & IVfanistee Lumber Co. at Wil_ liams. Ariz.
