COST-EFFECTIVE UPGRADING

Through the leading technology of Scheuch, which will allow the use of 10-m-filter bags also achieved with the optimum investment.

These filter bag lengths are primarily the crucial factor for lower cost.This made a compact design works in a weight reduction  from about  30 percent.

Moreover, applications using 10-meter-filter bags require only half the installation footprint of the 6-meter filter variant.

In terms of the so-called secondary capital costs, this results in an immense savings with respect to filter substructures or mill buildings, the foundation and access/inspection facilities for the filtration plant.

Low operating costs

Operating costs are determined primarily by the cost of fan energy, the cost of replacement filter bags, and the consumption of compressed air, whereby the costs for fan energy, filter bags and compressed air behave interdependently as a function of
the filter differential pressure.

Depending on the application, the overall operating costs increase as the filter differential pressure decreases. The assumption that minimal operating costs can be achieved by keeping the filter differential pressure as low as possible is thus not helpful.

The increase in overall operating costs with increasing filter differential pressure is smaller. Therefore, a filter differential pressure above the optimum range has less of a negative effect than an operating point below it.

Advantages of the EMC-technology

• Fan energy consumption up to 45% lower
• Doubling of filter bag service life
• Up to 80% reduction in the cost of compressed air
