At NEU-JKF, we are not slowing down. We are currently carrying out intensive installation work at the site of one of Poland’s leading furniture manufacturers. The investment we are carrying out includes the installation of a modern dust removal system, which will ensure not only high filtration efficiency, but above all safety and energy efficiency of the production process.
Dust extraction at the highest level
A dynamic industrial environment such as our client’s plant requires dust extraction solutions of the highest technical standards. That’s why we designed and delivered an installation with an impressive capacity of 285,412 m³/h, suitable for handling dust and wood chips of explosion class St1. The entire plant is made in accordance with the strict requirements of the ATEX directive, which guarantees full safety in explosive conditions.
SuperBlower filters – the heart of the installation
A key component of the new plant are two SBF 142 type vacuum filters, each with a capacity of 142,706 m³/h. They were made of thick, hardened sheet metal, which ensures exceptional durability and resistance to explosive forces. The filters are equipped with:
– set of fire dampers,
– VFV® explosion membranes located in the roof of the filter, so there is no need to designate safe zones around the unit,
– dry fire extinguishing riser,
– flat bottom with scrapers to prevent material from hanging up,
– JK-50EXS ATEX-compliant valves that act as an explosion barrier, with an additional pressure sensor above the sluices.
SuperBlower are filters with the highest cleaning efficiency – the dust concentration at the outlet is assumed not to exceed 1 mg/m³.
Power Pulse® technology for savings and durability
The plant uses the patented Power Pulse® filter bag cleaning system. The cleaning process takes place while the filter is running, with only one bag being cleaned each time. This maximizes the use of the filter surface area, and the system operates at the lowest cleaning pressure. Such technology significantly extends the life of the filter cartridges and, equally important, is currently the cheapest filter cleaning system in operation.
Smart energy management
For our customer, it is not only the efficiency of dust removal that is crucial, but also the minimization of operating costs. To this end, the plant’s fans have been placed on the clean side, reducing energy consumption by up to 30% compared to positive-pressure installations. In addition, thanks to inverter control, the system automatically reduces the speed of the fans when individual machines are shut down, which translates into further savings.
The NESS system, which analyzes data from production machines in real time and adjusts the operating parameters of the filtration plant, is also a unique solution. This reduces electricity consumption in the range of 40-60%, without compromising on dust removal quality or safety.
Towards sustainable and safe production
The project being implemented at our client’s plant is an example of how modern technology can support safe, sustainable and efficient production. The dust collection installation we are implementing is another step toward the industry of the future – safe for people, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
