Maximising production in Manawatu

Mastercraft Kitchens by Healey, renowned for their vast experience in designing kitchens throughout Manawatu and Horowhenua, recently upgraded their dust extraction system.

The family having been in the industry for nearly 50 years, General Manager Kristine Holmes anticipated the need for more production capacity, and this required a dust-extraction upgrade to allow maximum utilisation of machinery.

Egmont Air were engaged to review the extraction requirements and upgrade the system. Mr Richard Stewart from Egmont Air specified a new system that would allow Mastercraft Kitchens by Healey to operate at maximum production capacity.

A ‘balanced’ dust extraction system is the secret of achieving the most from machines and creating a productive and clean working environment. The ducting design, fan, bag-house, and collection system must be perfectly matched and balanced to allow machines to operate simultaneously and extract the dust and shavings effectively.

Kristine comments that “the new system has made a big difference on suction and the factory is clean with the respiratory dust being extracted, creating a healthy, clean and productive work environment”. Not only are the machines all able to operate continuously, but the dust and shavings are extracted to one central point, freeing up space in the factory and making production more efficient.

Egmont Air, trusted suppliers to the wood-working and manufacturing industry, offer a comprehensive design-toinstallation service of spraybooths and dust & fume extraction systems nationwide. Egmont Air’s team of CAD designers, sales technicians, project manager and installers work together to ensure customers’ expectations and outcomes are exceeded.
