The demand for wood is accelerating. Every piece of wood counts in the race for sustainable and climate-friendly materials and solutions.
For sawmills, high uptime, high efficiency, and reduced wood waste are more important than ever.
Water mist holds the key to optimized productivity throughout the process - from sawblade lubrication and dust suppression to lumber drying.
For decades, Danfoss has supported the sawmill industry with high-pressure water mist solutions. At present, our cost-effective NWC power packs run in hundreds of sawmills across the globe.
We continue to offer smart solutions that secure full utilization of the valuable forest resources and maximize profitability of the sawmill operations.
Low CAPEX/OPEX
High reliability, less downtime
High productivity
Less scrap
Consistent, high quality wood
Improved work environment
Dust poses severe danger to human health and risk of explosion in the sawmill industry.
High-pressure water mist is a simple and proven method for dust control in the sawmill industry.
Efficient dust suppression systems keep dust at safe levels to improve the working environment and prevent the dust from igniting.
Every minute counts in the operation of the saw blades. It is costly downtime, when blades are taken out for cleaning or repair.
Efficient blade lubrication keeps the saw blade cool, clean and lubricated to avoid downtime and extend lifetime.
High-pressure water mist provides superior surface coverage to prevent pitch formation.
Moisture control is essential to obtain high-quality wood.
Wood is a living material, and the moisture content between boards or even within boards varies a lot. High-pressure water mist helps ensure a fast and controlled drying process in kilns.
When compared to steam or low-pressure moistening solutions, water mist performs best as regards total life cycle costs, fast drying process, high quality and reduced scrap.

By adding a few components and using the existing Danfoss pump, the overall kiln capacity was doubled.
The NWC is a proven power-pack optimized for the sawmill industry. The compact, all-in-one unit provides a constant flow of high-pressure water.
The positive displacement pump at the heart of the unit offers simple control of the water flow via the power-pack valve. The self-contained power-pack with few components provides high reliability and low service needs. The pump is lubricated by water only to avoid oil contamination.
NWC comes with an integrated tank for buffer supplies. Get more information about the NWC by contacting your local sales manager:
Our high-pressure pump is the core component of our NWC. Learn how the pump works.
Danfoss Spray Technologies is expanding into sustainable water applications with a new line of water nozzles, which are developed, produced, and improved, based on our 75 years of experience with the simplex pressure swirl atomization principle. A repeatable, high-quality spray pattern and optimized spraying performance. The water nozzle portfolio suit a range of applications, from agriculture and adiabatic cooling to disinfection and humidification.
The VDH/VDHT solenoid valves are used to control the flow direction in high-pressure water applications. The valves are available for a wide range of flows and pressures.
High-pressure pumps for tap water applications such as firefighting, dust suppression and water hydraulics. Available with or without motor.
Reliable pressure relief valves for high-pressure applications. The relief valve is used for protecting the components of a system against overload as a result of a pressure peak.
High-pressure pumps for ultra-pure water applications i.e. with de-ionized, de-mineralized or distilled water. Appropriate for critical applications such as high-pressure cleaning and humidification. Available with or without motor.
A cold-mist system built around a PAH pump, a drive, valves and nozzles from Danfoss help to increase the share of selected grades to be sold, all while saving on CAPEX and OPEX.
Reliability is very important when it comes to operating kilns. Danfoss high-pressure systems have been standard in all ThermoWood® systems from the beginning.
Danfoss pump doubles capacity as cost efficiently as possible and without sacrificing reliability.
