When rubber grit, talcum and carbon brush dust accumulate in various production sequences
The situation: An automatic, 100 m long assembly and testing line at the end of which a complete sub-assembly leaves production.
The task: At the end of the process, a finished product but also a very large amount of different air pollutants has been produced. Emissions such as rubber grit, talcum and carbon brush dust which accumulate in various production sequences.
The solution: The engineers from Fuchs Umwelttechnik developed an ingenious, central IFVA type extraction and filtering system for this production line.
Ingenious because the multi-stage design optimally meets customer requirements. Thanks to the two compact filter towers, IFVA can be positioned flexibly on the assembly line and therefore saves space.
The technology is ideal: The emissions are extracted reliably regardless of in which zones of the assembly line the collection systems are located. Special high-pressure fans ensure this permanent extraction effect. Eight cartridge filters clean the different types of pollutants simultaneously. After passing through the particulate filter, the perfectly clean air is then fed back into the production hall.
Dust extraction – naturally contamination-free – takes place separately for every device with the sophisticated double disposal system.
One for all: The IFVA double device is centrally controlled for easy operation. The electronic monitoring guarantees permanent control throughout the trouble-free extraction and filtering process.
Another engineering achievement from Fuchs Umwelttechnik which makes the production process safer without interfering. Because we pay attention to the details.
The conversion unit was developed at the request of a customer who is already equipped with numerous TKFVA devices. For their sensor production, they required additional safety measures against the reactive dusts of CrNi steels and titanium. Since the INRVABE3.1 powdering module is designed exclusively for the higher emission quantities of the MKFVA and INRV device types, the consequence would be an expensive total replacement of the extraction and filtering units. Economically, this is no option and not at all what we have in mind.
To meet our customers' requirements, our engineers therefore designed the TKFVAÜG6 conversion unit especially for the appropriate performance data of the most compact device series with automatic filter cleaning TKFVA. With this, the INRVABE3.1 powdering module can now also be used for smaller emission quantities.
Sophisticated in every detail:
- Constant discharge through a chute into a 20-litre barrel by optimum positioning to the TKFVA, even during operation
- The powdering has been parametrised exactly for the smaller emission quantities
- A pinch valve is no longer required for the activation
- PE-film in the barrel for contamination-free disposal
- Barrel emptying by a quick clamp offline
With the new TKFVAÜG6 conversion unit, our customers now have a complete safety solution especially for smaller emission quantities at their disposal which can easily be integrated into existing systems.
Great interest in the TKFVA300 and cyclone pre-separator
The Pantron/Fuchs Umwelttechnik fair booth was a magnet for the professional visitors. Special focus was placed on our latest new developments: the compact TKFVA300 extraction and filtering unit and the cyclone pre-separator. Both systems were convincing in their technical design, their high quality, and their practical possibilities for use in many different industrial applications.
Many concrete customer inquiries from the region
Numerous companies in North and South Carolina took the opportunity to find out about tailor-made extraction and filtering solutions for their specific applications with concrete inquiries on site. Further appointments to visit the companies were arranged during the fair – a clear indication of the great interest in the performance capabilities of our extraction and filtering systems.
Outlook for the Southtec 2027
Following this successful fair appearance, Pantron and Fuchs Umwelttechnik would like to thank all visitors for their keen interest. The joint team is already looking forward to the Southtec 2027.
With this partnership, we are strengthening our local market presence and ensuring that our customers in Switzerland benefit from competent technical know-how, direct customer contact and top-class service.
The Fuchs Aadorf company stands for quality, reliability and technical expertise – ideal conditions for the optimally communicating the advantages and performance capabilities of our devices.
