Workshop dust extraction for fiber-reinforced plastics processing
We designed and installed an aspiration system at the Threod Systems workshop for machining fiber-reinforced plastic components both manually and with CNC machines. The system operates automatically based on machine signals, maintaining stable negative pressure regardless of the number of machines in operation. We used the Danish manufacturer GramCleanAir FL-series filter, which ensures maximally efficient dust removal and improved energy efficiency. The result was significantly improved air quality and better working conditions for employees.
Project Challenge
The design and calculations had to account for several complex factors. Material processing takes place in two adjacent rooms, where work is carried out at different times and with varying cycle durations. In addition, the limited volume of the space necessitated the development of a compact and space-saving solution that would not compromise productivity or performance.
How We Built It
We implemented a system in which air exchange occurs according to a defined constant pressure. Based on signals from the CNC machines, the appropriate dampers in the ductwork open automatically, ensuring the stability of negative pressure regardless of the number of machines in operation. This keeps dust extraction effective both during manual processing and when working with CNC machines. As a filter, we selected a reliable solution with a wide range of applications.
