Boulware Equipment Delivers Turn-Key 62 Ton/Hr Dust Collection System for Harrigan Lumber in Monroeville, Alabama

At Boulware Equipment LLC, we specialize in designing, building, and servicing advanced dust collection and wood waste recycling systems for industrial and manufacturing companies worldwide. Our mission is simple — to help clients improve efficiency, protect their operations, and achieve landfill avoidance through clean, reliable, and sustainable systems.

One of our recent success stories comes from Harrigan Lumber in Monroeville, Alabama, where Boulware Equipment designed and installed a complete turn-key dust collection system to solve a serious air quality and maintenance challenge.

The Challenge: Dust Overload in a High-Production Lumber Facility

As a large-scale lumber producer, Harrigan Lumber was facing a growing challenge — excessive dust throughout their facility. Fine dust from saws, planers, and other production equipment was building up quickly, affecting not only worker comfort and safety but also the reliability of critical equipment.

The company needed a complete solution that could efficiently capture dust at its source, safely store it, and automatically remove it from the plant — reducing downtime and keeping the environment clean.

That’s where Boulware Equipment LLC stepped in.

The Solution: A 100% Turn-Key Dust Collection System

Boulware Equipment designed and installed a fully turn-key dust collection system custom-built for Harrigan Lumber’s production needs. The system was engineered to handle 62 tons per hour of yellow pine sawdust and fine particulate generated during daily lumber operations, providing continuous, efficient performance without interruption.

Here’s how the system works:

• Powerful ducting and high-efficiency fans collect dust from multiple production points throughout the facility.

• Dust is conveyed through a central network and deposited into a large storage unit designed for safe containment.

• The collected material is automatically removed and prepared for proper disposal — all without manual intervention.

By integrating every stage — from collection to removal — Boulware’s dust collection system has eliminated the dust buildup that once plagued the Monroeville, Alabama plant. The result: cleaner air, safer work conditions, and smoother, more reliable production.

Engineered for Performance, Built to Last

Every Boulware Equipment system is a 100% turn-key solution — meaning we handle the entire process from start to finish. For Harrigan Lumber, that included planning, engineering, fabrication, installation, and system integration.

Our design team worked closely with the client to ensure that the system not only met performance requirements but also fit seamlessly within their existing production layout. The result was a high-capacity system built for durability, efficiency, and easy maintenance — a long-term investment that pays off in both performance and reliability.

Ongoing Service and Maintenance Support

At Boulware Equipment LLC, we don’t just build systems — we stand behind them. Since completing the installation, we’ve continued to provide maintenance, inspections, and service support for Harrigan Lumber’s dust collection equipment.

Regular service ensures that the system continues to run at full efficiency, extending its lifespan and protecting the company’s investment. Our team performs everything from fan balancing and filter replacement to system optimization and electrical troubleshooting — keeping operations smooth and downtime minimal.

This proactive approach to maintenance means Harrigan Lumber can focus on what they do best: producing quality lumber for customers across the Southeast.
