A company that manufactures plasterboard had an issue on their production line during the manufacturing of plasterboard. They were not able to achieve both the correct dimension and appearance of their final plasterboard.

The layer of plaster needed to have even thickness before the top layer was applied. Phil (now our customer) ended up installing one of our 36″ Regular Air Knives on top of the conveyor. By doing this the plaster solution was spread out, therefore creating an even thickness of plaster. The excess plaster solution could then be recycled and used again.

Thanks to our Regular Aluminum Air Knife Phil was able to reduce material (usage of plaster) which in turn saved his company money, but at same time improving overall product quality and appearance.
