Extraction plants for moulds on ring or turntable

Customer request

Extraction plant for a line producing bearings for the automotive sector. During the foaming operation airborne polluting fumes are released.
The moulds employed in this case can be book-opened, they have been mounted on trailers continuously moving on a ring track or on a turntable.

Design

Pinpoint extraction was achieved by using suction hoods connected to a series of galvanized steel manifolds, to centrifugal fans and to eject chimneys outside the building.
Extraction has been provided in areas where fumes and steams flue during opening, cleaning and application of the releasing substance and during foaming.

Design stage involved sizing of the exact speeds of air flow in extraction and discharge ducts, with consequent calculation of the overall load losses depending on the path of the tubes and other components of the plant, all custom designed.

Special Notes

Engineering phase had to consider that all plant components were to be sent for subsequent installation in the production site abroad. For this reason, our Technical Department designes each component and provide an overall numbered drawing so that everything can be easily assembled on site.
