PAPER INDUSTRY EXHAUST SYSTEMS

In the industry of the production and processing of paper and cardboard, industrial aspiration it assumes particular value because it solves three potential problems. On the one hand, it avoids emissions of pulverized paper and ink particles, potentially toxic, protecting the health of operators; secondly, it helps to keep machinery clean from dust and waste, improving its efficiency; and finally it limits or cancels the risk of fire or explosion related to the massive presence of paper and cellulose dust.

The strategic location of the suction points in the paper industry's aspiration system is undoubtedly a fundamental element for maximizing its efficiency. Therefore, they should be placed near the cutters and rewinders in paper mills, or near the die-cutters in packaging companies: this will prevent both dust and ink particles from spreading in the air, where they could be inhaled by operators, and from settling inside the machinery, where they would compromise its functionality requiring continuous cleaning operations. In addition to this, an intelligent arrangement of the aspiration elements will limit the concentration of paper and cellulose dust in the air, thus minimizing the risk of fire or explosion.

For each of its industrial aspiration systems, Balducci offers free consultancy from the design phase and subsequent implementation, starting from an initial on-site inspection. In the field of high-efficiency industrial aspiration systems, there are no standard solutions: all the projects of our systems are entirely custom-made, based on the actual conditions, situations and needs of each client. For example, an industrial aspiration system very often requires an efficient abatement system. noises : as sector specialists, we are able to design and include this element in our offer. Where necessary, the systems can be built in accordance with all ATEX regulations .

Balducci offers a preventive and periodic maintenance service for aspiration systems to all its customers; we are able to operate with the same efficiency both on systems of our own making and on those of other companies. It can in fact be stated that scrupulously following the maintenance of industrial aspiration systems is a threefold protection for the company, and therefore absolutely necessary: by carrying it out correctly, in fact, it prevents potentially toxic substances from accumulating in the air that would compromise the health of operators, it prevents the processed material from accumulating in the machinery with the consequent risk of machine downtime and jams, and it avoids the danger of fires or explosions that derives from the uncontrolled accumulation of fine dust in the air.

The main operations related to the maintenance of industrial aspiration systems can be summarized as follows:

• Accurate control of the plant's conditions and verification of component wear

• Cleaning or replacement of the installed filter elements

• Repair of any damage; if necessary, replacement of damaged components

• Verification of the functionality of the aspiration system according to the established efficiency parameters

• Check of the safety devices installed on the system

• Restoration of any compromised functionalities
