Air Plants Dust Extraction installed the original dust extraction plant in 1999. Various additions and modifications have been made over the years to accommodate the expansions that have taken place at Woodfit Acoustics.
With the addition of a new factory area, Woodfit approached Air Plants to discuss its requirements for a new, modern dust extraction plant.
The externally-sited cyclo filter plant with a 37kW high efficiency fan set
In 2017, Air Plants designed, supplied and installed a cyclo filter plant with a 37kW high efficiency fan set. The externally sited system has a small footprint and handles an air volume of 29,000m³/hour.
Wood waste from the filter discharges into two sealed skips.
The new plant is fitted with pneumatic blast gates. This semi-automated system allows gates to some of the machine connections to shut off air when it is not required. This results in a more efficient system and helps to reduce energy consumption.
The cyclone dust collector boasts automatic reverse jet cleaning and 95% separation prior to bag filtration. It is also compliant with COSHH and EPA requirements. Clean air is returned to the factory.
An internally-sited Untha LR630 wood shredder handles a wood waste volume of 1-7m³ per week.
Off-cuts are collected from around the factory and fed into the shredder.
