Rigid Containers

Rigid Containers (Selby) recently selected KEE Environmental Ltd to design and install a new dust extraction system to serve their Gopfert machine.

Dust was being discharged into the factory with the discharge air from the vacuum fans used to hold the corrugated board in place as it passes through the machine.

The dusty atmosphere in the factory was causing blotching to occur on the printing sections of the machines.

With Rigid moving into higher quality print finishes, it was decided that the only solution was to install a dust control system.

KEE provided purpose designed dust capture hood, a centralised / balanced ductwork system and a dust filter unit to solve the dust issues.

The filter unit supplied by KEE was their ARJ 240 Reverse Jet model, complete with extra wide bag spacings to handle fibrous cardboard dust particles.

The filtered air was returned to the factory via a discharge plenum with double deflection input grilles.

The installation was planned to fit in with the factory production schedule and completed over three weekends.

Upon completion, the system was balanced and commissioned.

As with all KEE dust control plants, the system was supplied with a twelve month guarantee.
