Boulware Equipment Installs High-Pressure Sawdust Conveying System for Rex Lumber in Brookhaven, Mississippi
At Boulware Equipment LLC, we specialize in designing and delivering advanced wood waste recycling and dust collection systems for industrial and manufacturing operations worldwide. Our systems are engineered to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and create dependable material handling solutions through automation and proven technology.
One of our recent projects took place at Rex Lumber in Brookhaven, Mississippi, where the facility required a high-performance system to handle and transport large volumes of sawdust generated during daily operations. Boulware Equipment delivered a complete pneumatic conveying system designed to efficiently move sawdust while supporting the plant’s fuel needs.
The Challenge: Moving High Volumes of Sawdust Efficiently
At Rex Lumber in Brookhaven, Mississippi, sawmill operations generate a continuous flow of sawdust that must be handled quickly and efficiently. Without a reliable conveying solution, managing this material can become a bottleneck in production and limit the ability to utilize sawdust as a fuel source.
The facility needed a system capable of moving large volumes of sawdust over a significant distance while maintaining consistent performance. The goal was to create a dependable pneumatic conveying system that could support both material handling and fuel delivery for the lumber drying process.
The Solution: High-Pressure Pneumatic Sawdust Fuel Transfer System
Boulware Equipment designed and installed a high-capacity pneumatic conveying system engineered to transfer 30 tons per hour (TPH) of sawdust from the sawmill to the top of a fuel silo approximately 250 feet away.
This system utilizes a powerful blower to create high-pressure airflow, allowing the sawdust to be conveyed efficiently through the system with consistent performance. The engineered conveying process ensures a continuous and reliable movement of material from the source point to the silo.
Once transferred, the sawdust is stored and used as fuel for the lumber drying operation, creating a highly efficient and sustainable process within the facility.
Key features of the system include:
- High-pressure pneumatic conveying for long-distance material transfer
- Engineered airflow using a high-performance blower
- Continuous transfer of 30 TPH sawdust
- Efficient delivery of fuel material to the silo
- Reliable system performance for demanding industrial use
With this installation, Rex Lumber in Brookhaven, Mississippi now benefits from a seamless and efficient conveying system that supports both production flow and fuel utilization.
100% Turn-Key Engineering and Installation
As with every project we deliver, this system was designed as a 100% turn-key solution. Boulware Equipment handled the entire process from concept to completion, including:
- System design and engineering
- Equipment specification and fabrication
