The Remediator

MoldStoppers™ Manufacturing in a partnership with Builders Automation are proud to introduce, “The Remediator”. The first automated machine of its kind that removes mold from lumber and then treats it with the 100% safe, environmentally-friendly mold inhibitor, moldBLOCK™.

  • No more moldy lumber going to jobsites only to be brought back to the yard for clean-up, or worse, trips to jobsites for clean-up.
  • Reduces the cost for cleaning up moldy lumber to pennies per piece.
  • The Remediator not only cleans the lumber, it also applies moldBLOCK which keeps mold from growing back.
  • No more writing off lumber or sending it to auction in order to sustain losses.
  • Many builders and homeowners will pay for mold protection on trusses and floor joists. So moldBLOCK can be applied and sold for added margins.
  • Full exposure of this lumber to the elements is warranted by MoldStoppers Manufacturing for 90 days. No more worries if trusses are left on the job exposed due to project delays.
  • The perception of mold has become very, very ugly in the building materials industry. Why chance hurting your reputation? As a matter of fact, why not enhance your reputation, and for pennies, treat all your trusses and floor joists before sending them to a job.
  • Lastly, The Remediator is a friend to our environment. The water used is filtered four times and recycled as is the FDA-GRAS moldBLOCK. No worries with spills or waste.

How it Works

  1. mold stoppers lumber treatmentThe lumber is fed into The Remediator where it passes through the first chamber, and pressurized water removes the mold from the lumber. The speed with which the lumber passes through The Remediator is adjustable by the operator. The worse the lumber, the slower it passes through. If minor mold is present, the lumber can pass through rapidly.
  2. mold stoppersAfter the mold is removed in the first chamber, it passes into the second chamber, and the lumber is bathed with the environmentally-friendly mold inhibitor moldBLOCK-ex. moldBLOCK-ex is passing through this chamber at 25-gallons per minute and thoroughly coats the lumber.
  3. moldstoppersBefore leaving the second chamber, the lumber is blown with multiple air knives that remove excess moldBLOCK to eliminate waste. As the lumber leaves The Remediator, it is almost completely dry and can be immediately stacked.
