Project Name: KMA ULTRAVENT- III filter system
Award Category: Innovation Sustainable Product
Product / Service Introduction
KMA ULTRAVENT- III filter system, filter system produce cycle time is 3weeks. The system is widely used in Diecasting industry.
In modern production plants, clean air in the working area is an absolute must. Product and workplace quality as well as certification requirements make measures for air pollution control absolutely necessary. The exhaust air generated by foundry machines is composed of oily smoke and aerosol substances. The continuous use of these machines results in a high smoke pollution, which has to be separated. Therefore, exhaust air technology in modern foundries offers high potentials for energy savings and CO2 avoidance.
In production plants air pollution control measures have not only to meet the requirements of occupational safety and environmental protection, but have also to ensure energy-efficient operation. In foundries, exhaust air technology is traditionally the second major energy consumer after melting and holding furnaces. High energy consumption results in high production costs and high CO2 emissions. Clean air and save energy has always been our 2 goals. By using KMA ULTRAVENT-III energy-efficient exhaust air filter systems, however, savings of up to 80 percent can be achieved, while at the same time improving the CO2 balance of the production site and thus contributing to climate protection.
Explanation of Circular Economy Practice
How KMA ULTRAVENT-III filter system adhere to the principles of the circular economy? This is reflected in the following aspects. First, the filter system is designed in stainless steel for demister and electro precipitator those parts can be cleaned and no need for exchange thus no consumables are produced. Compared to traditional cartridge filter that needs to change cartridge regularly, KMA ULTRAVENT filter system saved cost.
Second, it is equipped with heat exchanger which can recycle the exhaust hot air from the Diecasting machine, clean and use the hot air back to the Die casting machine or to use the energy for heat water or heat the air in the winter.
Third, the system equipped with automotive cleaning system, which reduced manual cleaning of the machine itself, save manpower and cost.
Take a foundry factory which has ten die casting machines (1100 t /each) and an exhaust air volume of 80,000 m3/h. During the heating period (3,600 h), the average outside air temperature is 2.9 °C. The desired hall temperature is 18 °C (Δt = 15.1 °C). The applied price for gas is € 0.50 and for electricity 15.50 euro cent/kWh. compared to conventional exhaust air technology with KMA ULTRAVENT-III filter system the company could reduce operating costs by approx. € 97,000 per year, reduce CO2 emissions by 377 tons per year, and amortization period of the system: approx. one year.
