New Abatement Plant Installation by Lührfilter Ltd

Luhrfilter Ltd News and PR from Luhrfilter Ltd - Published 04 May 2020 Lührfilter have recently installed and commissioned a replacement filter plant for Schunk Carbon Technology Ltd in Pudsey, West Yorkshire.
Schunk are a global leader in the development, manufacture and application of carbon and ceramic solutions for industry. The new filter plant provides localised extraction for multiple carbon machining systems. The original filter was also supplied by Lührfilter back in 1986 (and was still operating successfully up until the changeover earlier this year), however, due to expansion at the Pudsey Site a larger unit was required.

The new filter plant incorporates ATEX Rated features to safely handle the carbon dust generated, including a high pressure stiffened design, explosion venting panels, anti-static filter bags and fully earthed filter support cages. The control panel incorporates a frequency inverter for efficient use of the main extraction fan to manipulate the extraction rates up to a maximum of 50,000 m3/hr. A specifically designed HMI screen on the panel also allows the customer to monitor the system easily with clearly defined alarms for each of the main components.

Despite battling against Storms Ciara and Dennis during the installation on site, the Lührfilter Team successfully complete the installation and commissioning process within the tight footprint that was available. Minimal production down-time was also a huge issue for the client, so the “break-in” was completed during a weekend with zero production losses.
