Air Compressors for Furniture Manufacturing
Furniture manufacturing is an essential part of the economy. Everyone needs furniture for their homes, offices and businesses. The furniture industry is in constant demand, from hardwood chairs to blinds and cabinetry.
Modern furniture factory equipment relies on compressed air systems to complete production. Milling wood, operating CNC machines and applying finishes all involve compressed air. These tasks demand continuous power without sacrificing precision or efficiency. At C.H. Reed, we offer wood manufacturing compressed air systems engineered to meet your performance demands.
Typical Furniture Manufacturing Air Compressor Applications
Compressed air plays a prominent role in virtually every aspect of the furniture manufacturing process. Sawmills use an assortment of compressed air equipment for sorting and cutting lumber and transporting logs via conveyors. Cabinetry and similar furniture-making operations depend on compressed air for tasks like using automated nailing, powering drill feed systems and controlling the movement of wooden boards.
Applications in woodworking and furniture manufacturing also include:
- Cutting, routing and sanding operations.
- Operating pneumatic clamps, conveyors and lifters.
- Feeding automated fastening systems.
- Spraying adhesives, stains and paints.
- Controlling dust collection systems.
Consistency is nonnegotiable in furniture manufacturing, no matter your application. C.H. Reed supplies reliable rotary screw compressors, oil-free models and vacuum pumps that integrate with all stages of your process.
Protecting Your Equipment With Routine Preventive Maintenance
Downtime is expensive. When a compressor or sprayer goes offline, your production stops. C.H. Reed is here to keep you up and running with routine preventive maintenance services tailored to your equipment.
Our expert technicians will:
- Inspect and service your compressors and dryers according to the manufacturer's schedule.
- Perform air quality testing.
- Audit your compressed air system and make efficiency improvements.
- Provide emergency service.
We help you build a proactive plan to keep your equipment in peak condition. Let us keep your plant working smoothly.
Ensuring Energy Efficiency
Compressed air can be a significant utility expense for a furniture operation. That's why C.H. Reed delivers energy-efficient compressed air systems with features like variable speed drives (VSDs), system controls and remote monitoring. These features reduce waste and prevent artificial demand.
We help you configure your system based on pressure needs, air volume and tool usage so every part of your operation works efficiently. Our leak detection services find and fix leaks in your equipment. The right system will avoid overusing energy while delivering clean, dry air to your line.
Choosing the Right Air Compressors for Furniture Manufacturing
The right compressed air solution depends on the task. For example, a rotary screw compressor is usually the best choice for high-volume operations such as sawmills. Reciprocating piston models are reliable air compressors for smaller woodworking applications and manufacturers. To determine the most appropriate compressed air systems and products for your application, consider a range of factors, including:
- Pressure requirements
- Air usage and demand for tools and machines
- Air storage
- The need for other equipment like dryers, blowers, and vacuum pumps
- Contamination risks
Count on us to provide complete service for your furniture manufacturing equipment. We'll perform a fast, professional installation and train your operators to use the products efficiently and safely. We'll also be there to deliver comprehensive maintenance and repair services to minimize unproductive downtime.
Spray Finishing Systems for the Furniture Industry
Furniture manufacturing also entails the use of spray paint or stain finishing systems to enhance the appearance of the products and provide protective coatings. C.H. Reed provides a wide range of finishing solutions, including:
- Handheld spray guns
- 2K metering systems
- Automated conveyor systems
- Ovens for speeding up the drying process.
- Specialized paint spray booths to contain overspray.
Again, the type of finishing equipment that you need will depend on your specific application and can be identified by consulting with a C.H. Reed Finishing Specialist.
