Woodchips
Requirements of Austral Plywoods
The customer’s plant is situated in a residential area and used a system whereby woodchips were blown into a storage bin by compressed air. The system was noisy and, as a result of complaints from local residents, the Brisbane City Council instructed the company to reduce the noise level. So the predominant requirement of any new conveyor was the reduction in noise levels.
