The sanding process produces large quantities of particulate. Kifinesta did have a solution to the problem that forced the particulate outside, but it also took the warm air with it, resulting in high energy bills. It was an inefficient approach that caused Carolien and Johan to look for an alternative solution. Carolien Rooswinkel explains: “As there’s always so much dust in the air, we have to spend a lot of time cleaning before we can paint. If we’re working on two projects at once, we often have to cover over the other one, and it costs us an awful lot of time and money. We needed a new and powerful solution!’
