Atex solutions and systems for the extraction of dust and fumes

GGE srl has recently completed the installation of two extraction systems at the production plant of a leading Italian fertilizer company. The solutions, designed and manufactured in compliance with the Atex Directive 2014/34/EU, guarantee safety and efficiency in the extraction of dust and fumes generated within production departments.

Dust extraction system

The first system is dedicated to the extraction and filtration of dust generated at various points in the production process. Dust is captured through suction inlets, strategically placed on silos, workbenches and other critical areas. The dust-laden air is conveyed to the self-cleaning Power Jet filter unit model PJ112/72M/1/25, where it is filtered by passing through 72 high-efficiency filtering bags. Thanks to the Eco-Compact APC control unit mounted on the filter body, the cleaning of the bags occurs automatically, through timed jets of compressed air.

The dust extraction system is powered by a 7.5 kW DT0454 centrifugal fan, positioned inside a soundproofing box.

To avoid the accumulation of material in the air ducts, the dust extraction system is also equipped with an inerting dosing system Nerti: this, thanks to a dosing screw programmed via a special control panel, introduces lime into the system ducts, improving their suction capacity and reducing the risk of clogging.

Atex Ex II 3G fumes extraction system

The other system, designed in Atex Ex II 3G execution, is intended for the extraction and filtration of fumes generated at five workstations. The air is extracted by a centrifugal fan made of polypropylene and stainless steel and installed inside a soundproofing box.

The air is filtered from the fumes inside a Scrubber abatement tower, through a multi-stage washing with water and reagent.
The air purified from fumes is then released into the atmosphere through a polypropylene exhaust chimney, equipped with a silencer.

Automation and control

Both dust and fumes extraction systems are managed by two independent electrical control panels, each equipped with:

•  pressure regulator, with system optimization algorithm programmed according to the customer’s specific needs;
• automatic inverter, for energy optimization and automatic management of the working frequency of the fans.

GGE’s excellence in extraction systems

With these two systems, GGE srl confirms its commitment to providing advanced technological solutions for industrial air treatment, responding to the needs of safety, efficiency and compliance for both Italian and international companies.
