Menuiserie Blanc & Merlin^®

Optimal humidity & reduced dust levels in wood processing

Based in Montbrison, France, Menuiserie Blanc is an established manufacturer of high-quality wooden and wood/aluminium building components.
To ensure consistent product quality, stable production processes and an improved working environment, the company has relied for several years on the merlin^® ENVIRO high-pressure direct room humidification system from Merlin Technology for effective industrial dust control and air humidification.

Initial situation: dust, wood deformation and fluctuating humidity

Prior to the installation of the merlin^® system, Menuiserie Blanc faced a clear need to optimize working conditions, productivity and process stability.

Uncontrolled air humidity and airborne dust had a direct impact on material quality, machine availability and employee well-being.

Despite existing extraction systems, the following challenges persisted:

• High levels of fine dust in production areas
• Fluctuating relative humidity leading to wood deformation
• Quality deviations during surface finishing
• Increased machine wear caused by dust deposits

Solution: merlin^® ENVIRO – industrial humidification for woodworking companies

With the installation of the merlin^® ENVIRO system, relative humidity can now be precisely controlled, while dust levels are significantly reduced.
The system is used in CNC machining areas, assembly zones and surface finishing departments – wherever dimensional stability and surface quality are critical.

Thanks to high-pressure direct room humidification, water is dispersed as ultra-fine droplets, ensuring fast evaporation, efficient humidification and reliable dust binding – without wetting surfaces or materials.

Results: higher quality, less waste, more stable processes

• Up to 10% reduction in scrap rates for technically demanding products
• Uniform wood moisture content for consistent dimensional stability
• Significantly improved surface quality with reduced rework
• Noticeably better indoor air quality and reduced dust exposure for employees
• Less machine contamination and increased equipment availability
