Netzsch Trockenmahltechnik, Hanau, Germany, reports that keen international interest is being shown in its SMARTREMOVAL filter hose removal system for dust filters which was introduced to the public for the first time at Powtech earlier this year. The company explains that in the past the choice made by companies purchasing dust filter systems was in general limited by the type of plant they already had: basically, if the height of the building made filter change possible, a ‘top removal system’ was chosen, as such systems always have a lower residual dust content compared to ‘side removal systems’. However, if the building was too low, then a side removal system was always chosen, although these always meant longer stoppages for changing filter hoses and cleaning. This was seen as the lesser evil compared to the high costs required for modification work to the production facilities. The new filter hose changing system has been designed to combine the advantages of conventional top- und side removal systems in one product, thereby achieving the best of both worlds.

 

The main objective in developing SMARTREMOVAL was primarily to allow rapid and easy changing of filter hoses without need for tools. A further focus was on reducing the residual dust content down to that of a top removal system. In the end, designers of SMARTREMOVAL were able to solve both tasks. The well thought out installation technology (patent pending) is constructed in such a way as to exclude mounting errors and installation of SMARTREMOVAL is up to 80% quicker than for previous side removal systems. In addition its residual dust content is so low that it is comparable to conventional top removal systems. www.netzsch-grinding.com
