The client, a subsidiary of the well-known VDL Group, is a specialist in the production of glass fiber reinforced products. They operate several high-tech processing machines that are designed to produce high-quality products with consistent results. However, a significant issue arose with the milling operations on these machines as they produced large amounts of dust.
Det eksisterende udsugningssystem var ikke i stand til at fjerne støvet effektivt, hvilket fik det til at samle sig i arbejdsmiljøet og skabe en potentiel sundhedsrisiko for medarbejderne.
Kunden indså, at der var et presserende behov for at løse dette problem, og henvendte sig til virksomheden for at få en løsning. De bad om at få installeret et nyt vakuumsystem med kapacitet til at håndtere en mængde på ± 20.000 m³/time.
Dette ville sikre, at sugekapaciteten ved maskinerne blev maksimeret, og at tilstopning af filteret med de forarbejdede produkter ville blive forhindret. Det nye vakuumsystem vil give en mere effektiv måde at fjerne støvet på og sikre et mere sikkert arbejdsmiljø for medarbejderne.

The JKF Blower Filter 90-3 has been selected as the solution for the client's extraction process due to its exceptional features and capabilities. This state-of-the-art filter system has been designed to bring about a more efficient and effective extraction process, ensuring that the milling operations on the glass fiber reinforced products processing machines are carried out smoothly and without any hindrances.
The cyclonic inlet and compressed air cleaning system of the filter enhances its efficiency and ensures that the dust produced during the milling operations is extracted effectively. The placement of the filter outside the premises eliminates any potential noise pollution and creates a more pleasant work environment for the employees.
The summer/winter control system is a standout feature of the JKF Blower Filter 90-3. It allows for the captured warm air to be used for heating during the winter, which helps in reducing the energy costs, and during the summer, the warm air is expelled directly outside, providing a comfortable working environment.
The frequency control, based on pressure difference measurement, makes the system energy-efficient and cost-effective as it ensures that only the required flow rate is extracted, avoiding any wastage of energy. Each of the processing machines is connected to its own individual extraction pipe, each equipped with a gate valve that opens when the machine is in operation, providing optimal extraction flow.
The waste bin of the filter system is equipped with a full notification system, and the filter has a built-in product buffer. This means that even when the waste bin needs to be emptied, the filter continues to operate, minimizing any potential production downtime and ensuring smooth and continuous operation.
Kunden var meget tilfreds med den leverede løsning, som medførte en mærkbar forbedring af støvudsugningsprocessen. Med sine avancerede funktioner, såsom cyklonindløb og trykluftrensningssystem, var JKF-blæserfilter 90-3 i stand til effektivt at fjerne støv fra maskinerne, hvilket resulterede i et renere arbejdsmiljø for medarbejderne.
Systemets sommer-/vinterstyring, frekvensstyring baseret på måling af trykforskelle og det komplette varslingssystem til affaldsbeholderen sikrede, at systemet var både energieffektivt og omkostningseffektivt, samtidig med at det reducerede nedetiden.
Da kunden var så tilfreds med den leverede løsning, og produktionsaktiviteterne vil blive fordoblet, er det også nødvendigt at udvide støvudsugningen. Derfor har vi i samråd med kunden valgt at installere et nyt filter med samme koncept, men med en fordoblet kapacitet. Fremover vil der derfor blive installeret et JKF blæserfilter type 90-5 med en kapacitet på ± 40.000 m³/time.
Konceptet vil blive yderligere forbedret ved at installere et internt transportsystem for det udsugede produkt til en udskiftningscontainer. Det reducerer nedetiden i produktionen yderligere og gør det også nemmere at skifte produkttømning, fordi det kan outsources til en ekstern virksomhed.
