2.  Pennsylvania-based Airmatic, Inc., is a woman-
owned industrial equipment and machinery
distributor founded in 1944. The company’s history
includes a number of success stories that have
addressed various industrial challenges and issues
associated with equipment and worksite
maintenance, material flow, and workplace safety.
Additionally, Airmatic, Inc.’s case history consists of
solving problems related to equipment installation.
One case study details Airmatic’s services to a paper
mill in New England that used Air Cannon flow-aid
devices to prompt the flow of woodchips and
prevent the freezing of moisture-laden chips during
winter.

3.  The New England mill’s problem arose a
few years after it upgraded its Air Cannons.
A few years after the upgrade in 2007, the
mill found that the cannons were leaking
compressed air. When Airmatic application
specialists investigated the issue, they
discovered that the cannons had been
incorrectly mounted and their positioning
had allowed escaped woodchips, water,
and dust to damage the valves.

4.  Application specialists recommended that
mill personnel remove the cannons for
cleaning and inspection in order to
eliminate debris buildup and repair or
replaced damaged parts. Once the parts
were cleaned and repaired, the company
assisted with the cannon’s reinstallation to
ensure correct positioning and instructed
the mill to monitor it over the next few
months. Following Airmatic’s intervention,
the mill reported an increase in efficiency
and no further issues.
