Rigid Containers

Rigid Containers recently selected KEE Environmental Ltd to design and install a new dust extraction system a second Gopfert machine at their Selby factory.

Having supplied numerous waste extraction systems and dust extraction systems to Rigid Containers over the years, KEE were the natural choice to undertake the new project.

The new system was to provide continuous 24 hour dust extraction to a new Gopfert machine which was to be installed within their new factory extension.

KEE selected their ARJ 280 reverse jet dust filter unit and this was connected to three different extraction points on the Gopfert.

The filter unit was sited externally and the dust discharge was fitted with a twin rotary valve dust transfer system.

ATEX approved explosion panels were incorporated into the design.

The motive air for the system was provided by a new KEE centrifugal system fan.

As part of the same project, waste extraction waste also provided for the Gopfert machine.

This consisted of a new waste extraction hood, KEE chopping fan and ductwork to connect into the existing KEE waste extraction plan.

The system was installed over a four week period.

Upon completion, the system was commissioned and operator training was given.

As with all KEE waste extraction plants, the system was supplied with a twelve month guarantee.
