A centralised solution offers effective filtration and extraction, controlled flow and long-lasting performance tailored to your production needs.
Opting for a centralised solution means choosing a single filtration or extraction system for a group of machines, a line of machine tools or an entire workshop. This approach allows for optimised air flow management and better control of extraction performance.
At Technifiltre, we carefully analyse your needs, your environment and your production constraints to design a filtration and extraction solution that is tailored to your requirements. While there are many advantages to an extraction network, we also ensure that its limitations are clearly identified so that we can meet your expectations precisely.
Need analysis and determination of reference flow rate
We evaluate all the parameters influencing your installation in order to determine the reference flow rate required for effective extraction. That is why our analysis takes into account:
- The type of machines: enclosed machines, open machines, etc.
- The application concerned: type of pollutant, volume of air to be treated, work cycles, materials machined, etc.
- The production cycle and type
- The rate of simultaneous use of the machines
- The layout of the machines in the workshop
- Compensation
This data is used to determine the reference flow rate required for suitable extraction. Our aim is to design an extraction network that guarantees optimum performance while meeting your specific requirements.
Suction network design
A centralised network must perform three essential functions: capture, transport and filter. Capture speeds, reference flow rates and transport speeds determine the characteristics of the filtration unit. That is why, based on the reference flow rate, transport speeds and the layout of your workshop, we model the piping connecting your machines to the filtration unit for a detailed view of the network.
In addition, we calculate the pressure drops generated by the network layout (length, elbows, Y-pieces, connections to each machine, etc.). The aim is to guarantee the performance of the installation. We also carry out an airflow simulation to optimise the diameter of the pipes from the outlet of the filtration unit to the downpipes to each machine. This ensures optimal air flow for efficient extraction at the collection and connection points. Finally, we design inductors, casings and all types of parts necessary to ensure efficient extraction.
Thanks to this in-depth analysis, we validate the sizing of the filtration unit. We also check that it perfectly meets the specific needs of your installation.
Flow and filter unit management
La pThe performance of a centralised network depends on intelligent management of the extraction flow rate. The filtration unit, equipped with a motorised fan or turbine, is controlled by an electrical cabinet that can incorporate:
- A frequency converter, to adjust the flow rate according to the number of machines in operation
- A pressure transducer, to maintain appropriate transport speeds
- A management system for alarms, remote diagnostics and remote maintenance
This control optimises the suction flow and provides you with a system that:
- Controls energy consumption for long-term savings
- Reduces noise pollution by adapting the flow to the exact requirements
Optimises overall profitability by improving equipment efficiency and service life.
