Southern Pneumatics
assists with green initiative

Southern Pneumatics, division of Joe Hill Co. Inc., Knoxville, Tenn., recently finished engineering, fabrication and installation of a pneumatic conveying system with fly ash baghouse for Mark Richey Woodworking and Design (featured in March 2008 FDM). The project enabled Mark Richey Woodworking to move forward with its green initiative of utilizing its silo storage complex and biomass furnace.

Initially, Southern Pneumatics installed the dust collection system, including engineering and fabrication, for the renovated warehouse in winter 2005.

According to Tom Donahue, install manager for the project, completion was seven days ahead of schedule, despite record snows of more than 90 inches in Newburyport, Mass., where Mark Richey Woodworking is located.

That initial job system included a Flamex fire suppressor and muffler to control sound pollution.

Southern Pneumatics was part of Mark Richey Woodworking’s green initiative.
