ABKAB03 double cleans better. The 2-zone extraction booth for orange terpenes from Fuchs Umwelttechnik
Silky matt, gleaming stainless steel, sturdy aluminium sections, two separate work zones behind integrated sliding glass doors and clear lighting through the glass roof – this superb special development ABKAB03 from Fuchs Umwelttechnik certainly looks impressive.
The initial situation at the customer: during the production process – work takes place in 3 shifts – the used tool parts get increasingly dirty. These must be removed and sticky adherences, e.g. resins, cleaned off as soon as it becomes necessary. Health-hazardous fumes occur in the process which can only be handled safely by effective extraction.
An ambitious project for the implementation of which a large number of specifications, parameters and special features need to be considered. Ultimately, with this new extraction booth, the engineers at Fuchs Umwelttechnik have developed a two-part work area which ensures both efficiency and safety.
Part 1, the immersion bath. Our engineers placed a cleaning bath in the floor of the booth, also made of stainless steel. Safely behind the glass doors, the contaminations are dissolved from the tool parts in an 80 °C hot bath with orange terpenes. Three screens ensure safe assembly.
And on to part 2. Remaining dirt particles are blown off in the left booth section with compressed air, protected by the front safety glass and permanently installed gloves. The integrated roof light leaves nothing in the dark.
At the same time, all fumes that occur during cleaning can be extracted permanently and completely through the suction slits in the rear wall. On both sides of the booth.
Details such as the four sockets, compressed air connections, perfect illumination or the easy operation and ergonomics are evidence that we have thought about everything for this work place.
Engineering work for an impressive result. Engineering work that singles out Fuchs Umwelttechnik and that we are more than a little proud of.
The conversion unit was developed at the request of a customer who is already equipped with numerous TKFVA devices. For their sensor production, they required additional safety measures against the reactive dusts of CrNi steels and titanium. Since the INRVABE3.1 powdering module is designed exclusively for the higher emission quantities of the MKFVA and INRV device types, the consequence would be an expensive total replacement of the extraction and filtering units. Economically, this is no option and not at all what we have in mind.
To meet our customers' requirements, our engineers therefore designed the TKFVAÜG6 conversion unit especially for the appropriate performance data of the most compact device series with automatic filter cleaning TKFVA. With this, the INRVABE3.1 powdering module can now also be used for smaller emission quantities.
Sophisticated in every detail:
- Constant discharge through a chute into a 20-litre barrel by optimum positioning to the TKFVA, even during operation
- The powdering has been parametrised exactly for the smaller emission quantities
- A pinch valve is no longer required for the activation
- PE-film in the barrel for contamination-free disposal
- Barrel emptying by a quick clamp offline
With the new TKFVAÜG6 conversion unit, our customers now have a complete safety solution especially for smaller emission quantities at their disposal which can easily be integrated into existing systems.
Great interest in the TKFVA300 and cyclone pre-separator
The Pantron/Fuchs Umwelttechnik fair booth was a magnet for the professional visitors. Special focus was placed on our latest new developments: the compact TKFVA300 extraction and filtering unit and the cyclone pre-separator. Both systems were convincing in their technical design, their high quality, and their practical possibilities for use in many different industrial applications.
Many concrete customer inquiries from the region
Numerous companies in North and South Carolina took the opportunity to find out about tailor-made extraction and filtering solutions for their specific applications with concrete inquiries on site. Further appointments to visit the companies were arranged during the fair – a clear indication of the great interest in the performance capabilities of our extraction and filtering systems.
Outlook for the Southtec 2027
Following this successful fair appearance, Pantron and Fuchs Umwelttechnik would like to thank all visitors for their keen interest. The joint team is already looking forward to the Southtec 2027.
With this partnership, we are strengthening our local market presence and ensuring that our customers in Switzerland benefit from competent technical know-how, direct customer contact and top-class service.
The Fuchs Aadorf company stands for quality, reliability and technical expertise – ideal conditions for the optimally communicating the advantages and performance capabilities of our devices.
