The problem at hand was the compound machining of fiber-glass reinforced plastic (FGRP) in dry machining (chip formation). Alternately, aluminium is machined on the same Haas machine VF-6/40 TR using minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) which produces sticky chips. The collection of the chips proved to be quite difficult.
Description of project & system: On the 1st expansion level, an LTA air filter type AC 8002 with a suction output of approx. 10,000 m³ sucks the release agent vapors of 3 presses The aerosols are separated from the contaminated air and stick to the collector surface or condense partially and are drained towards the bottom. Once per day, the offline cleaning cycle is started. For this purpose, the system is switched off and flushed with cleaning oil through nozzle fittings integrated in
In an inductive lacquer drying oven, packing belts from steel wetted with water-soluble lacquer are dried. The air contamination thus generated is sucked off.
In steel machining processes, vapor, gas, smoke and further combustion particles generated at the induction coils of a hardening machine should reliably be extracted.
In a processing plant, plastic vapors are extracted from the extruder by suction.
In the metal-working industry, large quantities of cooling lubricant are used especially in cutting processes. These cooling lubricants predominantly are non water-soluble oils having the characteristic to form explosive mixtures with air. Heating them up above their flashing point produces explosive vapor/air mixtures.
The large modules starting from the type AC 800X size versions may now optionally be equipped with an innovative cleaning system.
The new filter AC 500 marks through its ultra-compact design. This compactfilter can be mounted directly on the machine, the recirculation of the separated medium happens directly in the machine, too.
The solution for group- or centralsuctions
An LTA customer manufactures sawing blades for various applications which are ground using oil. The oil mist produced during the process is sucked off and fed to an air cleaning system through pipes. As the previous air cleaning was insufficient a new system was purchased. The customer decided for a product by Messrs. LTA who delivered the perfectly adapted filter AC 20001 from the modular large-module series introduced in 2008.
