Smurfit Kappa

Smurfit Kappa (Abercarn) recently selected KEE Environmental Ltd to design and install a new dust extraction system to serve their Balemaster baling press.

Dust was being discharged into the factory at four specific points on the baling press, when the ram moved forward during its cycle. The objective was to design a system that managed and resolved this dust issue.

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

The filter unit supplied by KEE was a Donaldson UMA type with explosion relief and bin balance features.

The installation was planned to fit in with the factory production schedule and completed in one day.
