In order to optimize operations and energy efficiency, a leading garden room and climbing frame manufacturer has chosen Indusvent to design, supply, and install a new JKF component-based ATEX-certified chip extraction system for their latest factory in the North of Scotland.
The manufacturer was also looking for a solution that would allow them to recycle the extracted chips, in line with their commitment to sustainability. Indusvent, a long-term partner of JKF, was selected to provide a comprehensive solution that meets the manufacturer's needs.
Indusvent installed a top of the range system where all main components are produced by JKF. It comprises an Indusvent Super Blower 90-4 filter, a JK70MTD-55kW direct drive extraction fan on the clean air side of the filter, waste material leaves the filter via a B500 heavy duty rotary valve and is then blown into 1 of 2 trailers which will automatically switch based on transport pressure using a direct drive T300D transport fan.
Furthermore, a JK50s Rotary valve on a 2nd filter outlet was added to allow the customer to look at producing their own briquettes in the future. The ducting system comprises of 3 independent lines, each with machine controlled auto dampers and explosion isolation valves.
With Indusvent econtrol the extraction fan will only run at the speed required depending on the number of lines that are open which means this customer is only using energy when they need it, and it also ensures a much better working environment for operators setting up machines. With clean up points included at every machine as standard, the factory will be spotless without the use of brushes which can re-introduce fine dust back into operators breathing zones.
The entire system is protected with a Grecon BS-7 Spark Detection System, the design, purchase, and installation of which was all managed by Indusvent, all that is required from the customer is an electrical supply, air supply, and a network connection as Indusvent take care of everything else.
The system is monitored using an Indusvent remote monitoring system allowing Indusvent to keep an eye on the manufacturer's extraction and will update their customer if they spot anything worth mentioning.
The thorough analysis and structured design conducted by Indusvent resulted in an optimal solution for the manufacturer/end user. The intelligent demand-controlled system ensures optimal energy efficiency that saves energy resulting in a lower operation cost. In addition to being more cost effective the clean up points provide a cleaner air for the workers, resulting in a better working environment.
Furthermore, the system is built to enable the manufacturers future vision of recycling extracted wood chips for the production of briquettes, thus bringing them one step closer to a more sustainable production.
