Astron’s East Tamaki plant has just commissioned a new machine from Europe, capable of converting plastic bags into clean plastic chips that can then be used to produce recycled plastic items. However, with the machine’s installation also came the need to extract the dust generated in the cleaning process. NZ Duct & Flex specified a Dust Storm DS20 pulse filter from JKF in Denmark as the safest, most environmentally and energy efficient way in keeping with Astron’s own ideals. Joseph Price, operations manager at the East Tamaki, Auckland site says, “All the features of this unit are attractive. Its safety, long term running costs, the energy and environmental considerations. “When your company is a leader in recycling and conservation, it’s important not only to talk about the environment but action those ideals.” The unit features PowerPulse, what the company describes as the world’s most energy efficient compressed air pulse cleaning system. PowerPulse automatically controls the filter, monitoring differential TP03731 NZDuct 70 Years NZEN Ad 107.5x290_2.indd 1 29/03/16 1:06 pm pressure, and only starts a cleaning cycle if it detects the filter cartridges need cleaning. Large amounts of compressed air (50-90% saving) are not required compared to other units that pulse air every 30 seconds or so, while wear and tear on the filter cartridges is reduced. The force is also controlled via filter performance monitoring and automatically adjusts total and pules amounts between two and five bar reducing bag wear. PowerPulse cleans each bag individually giving precise and consistent cleaning to the entire filter bag system. It maintains the extraction level at its maximum with only one cartridge cleaned out of 20 at any one time NZ Duct & Flex says that the fan is also controlled by a variable speed drive, again saving energy, and if new machinery is added, suction increases immediately. The filter needs no intervention and will adjust to suit the dust load by sensing its dust build up. JKF DS20 units include an Atexapproved explosion venting system and in the unlikely event of an explosion in the dust filter, the unit releases any explosion that might otherwise damage the filter unit and cause parts to damage equipment, building or staff.
