Case Study
Manion Lumber & Truss
Dual rotary screw system for a lumber and truss manufacturing operation.
- Industry
- Lumber & Truss Manufacturing
- Service Type
- Semi-Annual Preventative Maintenance
- Equipment
- BOGE SLF40-3N Rotary ScrewBOGE S40-2 Rotary Screw
The Challenge
High-demand production lines for truss assembly and lumber processing required massive CFM output with built-in redundancy to prevent costly production stops.
The Solution
Installed a dual BOGE system — an SLF40-3N variable speed drive unit paired with an S40-2 fixed-speed unit — with sequencer controls for load-matching efficiency.
Services Performed
- Changed oil on both units
- Replaced oil filters
- Replaced air filters
- Replaced separator filters
- Cleaned and re-lubed inlet valves and minimum pressure valves
- Blew out coolers and units
- Inspected belts
- Tightened electrical connections
- Verified sequencer operation
The Result
Redundant compressed air supply that matches output to demand, cutting energy costs while ensuring zero production downtime.
