WoodMaster / Woodmaster 6500

« on: December 17, 2010, 12:55:20 PM »

Does anyone out there own or know someone who owns a Woodmaster 6500? My company is looking to install one but my boss wont make the purchase until he has a couple references. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I agree about the burning of particle board, as I am a LEED Green Associate and am all about doing the environment right.  I'll make sure our company doesn't burn any of the particle board and only burns the natural wood.  Do you know anyone who uses one of these units for commercial purposes? I'd like to talk with them and get their feedback.....



I guess my last question is: WoodMaster or Central Boiler?

We currently use an old boiler that transfers steam throughout the building to radiators. We would have to have a (for lack of a better term)  "heat escape analysis"  done to figure out how many btu's we use since the system is so old. On the other hand, wood isn't an issue since we are in the business of manufacturing store fixtures. Our company actually pays $400 three times a month just to hall the scrap wood to the dump. Which brings me to my next question: Can one of these units handle burning particle board? I know it burns a lot hotter than natural wood and am worried it will wear the unit out faster than normal. The dealer says it wont effect the unit but I'm sure he'll say anything to get the sale. Also, should we choose pex pipe or copper since the lines will take a lot of abuse with water going out hot and coming back in significantly colder?

You're right about not heating the work space to a houses heat level, we will most likely have the temp. between 60 and 65.

Has anyone installed a CL 7260 for commercial use? What are the pros and cons? We're looking to heat 20,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space via air handlers.......good idea?
