On October 19, 2026, ENERPAT's sales and service team visited an equestrian facility in the United Arab Emirates to assess a proposed horse bedding production project. The consultation focused on wood shaving quality, moisture control, raw material sourcing, and equipment selection for producing cleaner, more absorbent horse bedding.
The customer currently purchases wood shavings from a local supplier but is dissatisfied with their moisture content, absorption performance, and tendency to stick to horses' coats. As the horses are used for performances, bedding cleanliness and dust control are also important considerations.
To improve product consistency and gain greater control over supply costs, the customer is considering investing in a Horse Shaving Machine and initially producing wood shavings in-house, with the potential to expand production in the future.
Existing Horse Bedding: Moisture and Dust Control
During the site visit, ENERPAT inspected the bedding used in the stables and discussed the current operating challenges with the farm's management team.
The existing material is supplied locally and has relatively high moisture content, with no apparent drying treatment. The customer reported that the bedding does not absorb moisture as effectively as expected and can adhere to the horses' coats.
Dust is another concern. For horses involved in performances, the customer wants bedding with low dust levels and a consistent particle structure to help minimize airborne dust exposure.
These requirements make the selection of a suitable Wood Shavings Machine an important first step. However, the complete solution must also consider incoming wood quality, shaving dimensions, moisture management, dust extraction, and finished-product handling.
EWS37 Wood Shavings Machine for In-House Production
Before the visit, ENERPAT had introduced the EWS37 as a potential option for the customer's initial production requirements. During the consultation, the team presented relevant equipment applications and shared a reference project from Oman.
The customer responded positively to the presentation and expressed interest in visiting the reference installation to see the production process and finished wood shavings firsthand.
For this project, ENERPAT will prepare an equipment proposal based on the customer's intended production scale and material requirements. The assessment will cover several key areas:
Wood shaving production: Evaluate the appropriate machine configuration and shaving specifications for horse bedding.
Moisture control: Determine whether additional drying equipment is needed based on the incoming wood's moisture content and the target finished-product condition.
Dust extraction: Assess suitable dust collection measures to help improve the cleanliness of the finished material.
Production capacity: Match the initial equipment selection to the customer's current plan while considering potential future expansion.
Material conveying and packaging: Evaluate downstream handling requirements if the customer intends to package and distribute finished wood shavings.
The EWS37 is an initial equipment option rather than a finalized production-line specification. The final recommendation will depend on raw material testing, target output, product requirements, and site conditions.
Wood Shaving and Bagging Equipment: From Processing to Packaging
Beyond the machine itself, the customer needs to understand how a complete production process could operate. ENERPAT will therefore provide information on wood shaving and bagging equipment to help the customer evaluate the main stages of a potential production line.
Depending on the selected configuration, a wood shavings production line may include wood shaving equipment, conveying systems, screening, dust extraction, moisture control, and weighing and bagging equipment.
A suitable configuration can help improve consistency between batches and simplify the handling of finished horse bedding. If the incoming timber requires additional moisture reduction, a drying stage may also be considered.
The goal is to develop a practical horse bedding production line that balances product quality, equipment investment, operating requirements, and future production needs.
Raw Material Sourcing and Reference-Site Evaluation
Raw material availability and cost remain key considerations for the proposed project.
The customer has contacted multiple local suppliers but has concerns about the quality and pricing of available timber. During the meeting, the customer asked ENERPAT to explore whether suitable logs or finished wood shavings could be sourced through an existing customer relationship in Oman.
ENERPAT will follow up on the feasibility of these options. Consistent timber quality, reliable supply, and suitable raw material pricing will all influence the project's long-term operating economics.
The customer also expressed interest in visiting the Oman reference site to inspect the equipment and finished wood shavings in operation. This visit could help clarify the production process, material requirements, and practical considerations before an investment decision is made.
Additional Equipment Consultation: Vertical Baler for Hay
During the site visit, ENERPAT also learned that the customer purchases packaged hay and is considering handling the baling process in-house.
A suitable Vertical Baler may be worth evaluating, depending on whether the customer intends to compress loose hay, re-bale existing material, or prepare hay for storage and distribution.
ENERPAT will recommend suitable vertical baler models after clarifying the material condition, required bale dimensions, target output, feeding method, and packaging requirements.
This additional consultation gives the customer an opportunity to assess whether an appropriate baling solution could improve material handling and support its farm operations.
Scrap Car Baler: Exploring a Separate Recycling Project
The group's management team also expressed interest in automotive recycling equipment, particularly a Car Baling Machine.
Scrap car balers are used in end-of-life vehicle recycling to compress suitable vehicle bodies into denser packages for handling, storage, and transportation. Equipment selection depends on vehicle types, processing volume, site layout, and the intended downstream recycling process.
ENERPAT will provide relevant product information and application references to help the customer understand the available options. This inquiry will be evaluated separately from the horse bedding project because the two applications have different processing requirements.
ENERPAT's Follow-Up Plan
Following the on-site consultation, ENERPAT will prepare the EWS37 wood shavings production proposal and quotation for the customer to present to the group's management.
The next steps include:
Preparing technical documentation, equipment videos, and relevant wood shavings production references.
Assessing suitable Wood shaving and bagging equipment configurations for the proposed horse bedding project.
Exploring potential raw material sourcing and a reference-site visit in Oman.
Recommending suitable Vertical Baler models for the hay-handling application.
Providing product information on Scrap Car Baler solutions for further evaluation.
Inviting the customer to visit ENERPAT's manufacturing facility in China to review the equipment and discuss the proposed project.
ENERPAT Pre-Sales Support for Horse Bedding Production
Investing in a Horse Shaving Machine involves more than selecting a piece of equipment. Raw material quality, moisture content, dust control, finished-product handling, and production economics all contribute to the success of a horse bedding project.
Through on-site technical consultation, application assessment, equipment recommendations, and reference-site coordination, ENERPAT helps customers evaluate their options before committing to an investment.
For this UAE project, the immediate priority is to assess the EWS37 configuration and the supporting wood shaving and bagging equipment, while clarifying raw material supply arrangements. The vertical baler and scrap car baler inquiries will be addressed as separate equipment opportunities.
ENERPAT will continue providing technical information and application support as the customer develops the project and evaluates the next steps.
