Technor helped a Swedish wooden furniture manufacturer reduce their operation cost and save energy, with a simple yet efficient chip extraction solution with components supplied by JKF.

The task consisted, among other things, of reducing a Swedish wooden furniture manufactures high operating and maintenance costs on their existing chip extraction plant.
The existing plant consisted of several decentralized and central plants for chip extraction, which was no longer the optimal solution for the needs of the manufacturer.
The manufacturer was looking for a more energy-efficient and reliable system, and they reached out to Technor, a long-term customer of JKF. Technor conducted an analysis of the existing plan and the production line, to calculate the optimal system for the specific need.
Technor installed a JKF component-based solution. A new and straightforward energy-efficient chip extraction system that is demand-controlled, so that only the necessary amount of air is extracted.
The waste management occurs via discharge of the material in a ring pipe which blows the shavings into a 34m3 ATEX-approved container.
The discharge is controlled so that the transport fan, rotary valve, and bottom scraper in the filter are only in operation for the time that is necessary to transport the waste.
This solution has resulted in large savings in their operating costs, as well as a sharp reduction in maintenance costs in comparison to the existing plant. Because the plant is only operating when there are shavings ready to move it saves energy.

“For many years, we have primarily used JKF's Super Jet Filter, as this filter is relatively simple to build and straightforward to assemble for the installers. This reduces time and costs on-site to a minimum. One of the major advantages of this filter is that it takes up very little floor space (footprint) in relation to the filter area available. This has several times proven to be a selling point of enormous importance to customers, who often want a solution that takes up as little space as possible to ensure that the land can be used for daily operations.” Thomas Heby, Senior Project Manager, Technor“
“There are no other manufacturers that make a similar quality product as the Super Jet Filter. We usually buy the filter in a complete package incl. a fan. JKF's fans are efficient, quiet, and very sensible in terms of economics; you get a lot of quality for the money. In addition, the delivery time is very short. This is of course also the reason why it is primarily this solution that we try to sell to customers. It is a reliable and energy-efficient solution – every time.” Thomas Heby, Senior Project Manager, Technor“
