Air-Material-Separation System
Project Summary
JBW was retained to provide design and engineering services for an improved air-material-separation system to capture large OSB flakes from the Flying Cut-Off Saw to improve the lifespan of the bags in the current system. Ultimately, a new cyclone was added to the system with a booster.
JBW sized and specified a new fan to increase and provide consistently adequate airflow. The existing system did not collect the dust and flakes adequately because the cutting process is far from constant with a wide range of kerfs.
JBW handled the structural engineering for the new cyclone and duct supports, working with the existing pre-engineered building and reinforcing where necessary. We also closely analyzed the explosion hazards per NFPA 664 and provided adequate spark detection and isolation to the downstream equipment, mitigating explosion hazards.
