Typical and simple Vacuum Cleaning and recovery system ALS CHEMEX
Pneuvay have now supplied a number of these systems to ALS Chemex for their laboratories in Australia. One of the most recent projects for their Adelaide laboratory incorporated some up to the date design changes.
These changes are as follows
- The use of an envelope filters media rather than cartridges. This new arrangement with the pneuvay Vortex separating cyclone enables the system to tolerate extremely high dust loadings. This change will mean that the filters can tolerate far more abuse and can last as long as 3 to 4 years between changes.
- We have increased the cyclone steel plate thickness to 5mm to withstand high abrasion
- A wear plate has been added at the air inlet to the cyclone
- A drum lid cover is used meaning no discharge valve is necessary.
- We have added the option of a second discharge silencer to reduce the vacuum blower noise.
WE provide a complete system with a receival cyclone providing primary separation and then a dust collector and filter hopper assembly. The exhauster is located on the ground, the dust and product hopper is installed on a common frame. The total system can accommodate 4 operators simultaneously and includes a total of 19 points.
Typically as with all Pneuvay vacuum systems they consist of a network of various sized pipes and the droppers located in the general area and also various locations throughout the plant. The vacuumed material is conveyed back to a cyclone vessel station that includes the exhauster.
Discharging from the cyclone vessel is into a 200l bin
All pipe work will be routed based on Pneuvay Constant Velocity theory in order to prevent blockages from occurring.
