Efficient filter dedusting with the new Flex-on® system
One-stop shop
Optimal cleaning results, individual construction thanks to the modular principle, all components from a single source: This is the new Flex-on® filter cleaning system by IMI Buschjost, one of IMI Precision Engineering’s leading product brands. As the new 85870 series, it completes the range of Flex-on® filter cleaning systems and will be available from summer 2019. People who don’t want to wait this long can get an initial impression during the Powtech trade fair in Nuremberg, where the system will officially be launched. From 9th to 11th April, the new series will be presented at stand 4-106 in hall 4.
When using filter cleaning systems, the trend is clearly towards all-in-one solutions: Users obtain complete systems from a single supplier rather than purchasing individual components from different providers. IMI Precision Engineering focuses on precisely this with its Flex-on® series: The “one-stop shop” principle reduces the number of suppliers and is also significantly cheaper than costly tank construction and installation of purchased parts by users themselves.
“There is also a further decisive advantage” says Hans-Joachim Beckmann, Business Development Manager Air Pollution Control at IMI Precision Engineering. “Construction and manufacture of the new Flex-on® system are based on the requirements of the EN 13445 standard, harmonised with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. This ensures safe usage of the pressure vessel from the initial commissioning onwards; further pressure tests and risk analyses by the user are no longer necessary. This saves both time and money.”
Thanks to its modular construction, the new Flex-on® system can be adapted perfectly to the individual requirements of the user. Due to Plug and Play, a particularly easy integration into existing units is possible. A tank up to three metres in length with an internal diameter of 220 millimetres forms the basis of the system. It is made of a high-quality aluminium profile that is durable and non-corrosive. Its smooth surface makes the tank especially resistant to dust and dirt so that the system can also be used in the food industry without any problems.
According to the user’s requirements, the tank can be fitted with dust collector valves in nominal sizes DN 40 to DN 65; in its maximal length up to 20 valves could be integrated. These offer high pressure peaks, minimal deflection of the coil gas and extremely quick opening and closing times due to the use of high-quality TPE diaphragms. Compressed air consumption and operating costs go down whereas the cleaning of the filter elements is particularly efficient.
