Engineered Wood Spray Applications
In engineered wood production, spray performance is directly correlated with product quality and efficiency. That is why our approach is to work with you for optimizing your systems and solutions.
With 85 years of spray engineering expertise and the industry's broadest nozzle portfolio, we have developed industry proven solutions for uniform resin coating, precise moisture control, biocide application and DeNOx injection. Our state-of-the-art automated spray control systems ensure consistent coverage, reduced chemical use, waste, and most importantly downtime.
We'll visit your site, assess your current performance, and tailor our solutions to your process - delivering cleaner, safer, and more profitable production, shift after shift.
Release Agent Application for Engineered Wood Production
Keep mats, cauls and press belts running clean with precise, repeatable release agent application tailored for engineered wood lines. Our PanelSpray® solution delivers fine, even coatings at the required g/m² and adjusts automatically to line-speed changes - so you prevent sticking and reduce press clean-downs without overuse. Heated, closed-loop headers and AutoJet® control maintain viscosity and coverage uniformity for particle board, OSB and MDF, whether you’re coating the mat, cauls or a continuous belt. By optimizing droplet size and spray pattern, you get consistent panel release, fewer stoppages and data you can trace for QA and ESG reporting.

Biocide Application for Engineered Wood
Protecting timber from decay, mould and insects depends on precise, repeatable wood biocide application - at the right dose, droplet size and coverage, every time. Our PanelSpray® solution automates the process with closed-loop control, so each board or stack receives uniform treatment even as product size or line speed changes. The system combines robust filtration, optional auto-rinse cycles and individually addressable nozzles to minimize clogging and chemical waste while keeping operators out of overspray zones. It improves quality, reduces rework and supports your sustainability goals.
Glue Spray Application for Engineered Wood
Achieving consistent board strength in MDF, OSB and particleboard starts with precise, uniform resin and glue application - at the right dose, droplet size and distribution, every time. Our PanelSpray® solution delivers controlled, repeatable glue atomization across the full mat width, automatically adjusting flow rates as line speed or panel format changes. Heated, jacketed headers maintain resin viscosity while electrically-actuated PulsaJet® nozzles ensure even coverage without stripes or dry spots. The closed-loop AutoJet® control system continuously monitors and adjusts spray parameters, minimizing glue consumption and reducing blowback - keeping your press clean and your panels consistent. It improves bond quality, reduces resin spend and supports your sustainability and ESG goals.

Denitrification for Engineered Wood
Stricter limits on nitrogen-oxide (NOx) emissions from wood dryers, energy centres and biomass boilers demand injection systems that react instantly to changing furnace loads. Our AutoJet® DeNOx system pairs closed-loop control with high-temperature lances that inject a finely atomized ammonia or urea mist directly into the gas stream. The system continuously reads feedback from NOx sensors and proportionally adjusts both liquid and atomizing-air flows, maintaining peak reduction efficiency without costly reagent slip or operator intervention. Delivered on a compact skid, it integrates seamlessly with existing PLCs and CEMS, ensuring fast installation, dependable compliance and lower operating costs.

Why Optimized Wood and Lumber Spray Applications Matter
- Better product quality & yield: Uniform resin, moisture or fire-retardant coverage reduces rejects and rework; one OSB producer raised output 5% while trimming press energy 10% with precision mat-moistening systems.
- Lower chemical and utility spend: Automated spray control cut resin use 1,5% (+/- €100.000 per year) for an OSB blender and slashed oil usage 20% for a pellet line.
- Sustainability gains: Recycling 1.900 m³ of wastewater via controlled spraying saves an OSB mill €25.000 annually and kept sludge out of landfill.
- Regulatory & ESG compliance: Precisely dosed DeNOx, dust-suppression or fire-protection sprays help meet EU emission and safety standards.
Key Challenges in Wood and Lumber Spray Applications
- Variable line speeds & changing panel sizes: When conveyors accelerate or formats switch, AutoJet® closed-loop systems adjust flow in milliseconds so grams-per-square-meter stay spot-on at any speed.
- Sticky, high-viscosity fluids (resins, waxes, oils): Conventional air-atomizing tips clog and leave striped coverage. Heated, jacketed PanelSpray-WX headers feed electrically-actuated hydraulic PulsaJet® nozzles at a constant temperature, so coverage stays uniform and downtime is limited to a minimum.
- Particulate-laden or recycled fluids: Slurries full of fibres can plug ordinary nozzles. A recirculating spray loop keeps the wastewater agitated, while VMAU nozzles use timed clean-out pulses to maintain a clear spray pattern; an OSB mill now re-uses +/- 1.900 m³ of process water each year and saves €25.000 annually.
- Dust and NOx emissions: Airborne wood dust can endanger workers, and excess NOx from your dryer exhaust can lead to regulatory penalties. AutoJet® dust-suppression mists and precision ammonia/urea injection packages integrate easily to hit strict EU air-quality limits.
- Fire hazards in dryers, silos & conveyors: Sparks can ignite dry fibres in seconds. Listed fire-protection nozzles and systems extinguish hotspots before they spread, safeguarding uptime and protecting both people and equipment.
