Environmental efficiency
The EcoDryScrubber concept consists of the following components: Direct re-circulation of process air EcoDryScrubber functions with a direct air circulation system which only needs 5 to 20 % fresh air supply, leading to significant energy savings. Via the spray booth airflow, wet overspray particles accumulate in the modular filter modules sticking to each individual filter element. The overspray separation process takes place on the surface of the filter membrane. The air is then fed back into the circulation process. Dry separation of wet overspray At the beginning of a filtration cycle fresh EcoDryLime precoat material is introduced into the hopper. Air nozzles move the dry material into the air allowing it to join the air flow coming from the cabin. EcoDryLime passes through the filter modules in circular channels and ensures circulation across all filter elements. Precoat particles in the air stick to the filter surface and module as a closed, thin protection layer. This prevents direct contact of the sticky wet overspray particles with the filter surface and inside the filter module. Regenerative filter elements EcoDryTac The process-optimized, automatically regenerated filter, covered by a membrane layer, provides particle % filtration of below 0.1 mg/m3. This close to 100 filtration process permits direct re-circulation without the requirement of additional filter levels. This filtration process takes place on the surface of the filter element, allowing direct re-circulation of the clean air in the circulation process, as no precoat or paint particles get through the filter membrane.
Fully automated cleaning process During paint application, separation of the paint particles takes place on the EcoDryTac filter via the air circulation. The paint particles accumulate of the precoat material and build-up a filter cake. This results in an increase in air resistance over the filter. Once a maximum decrease in differential pressure occurs, automatic cleaning of the filter cake is triggered. A jet of compressed air from the clean gas side of the filter element is pulsed for approximately 0.25 seconds which causes the filter cake to be released from the filter. Cleaning of the filter module is timely offset and takes place approximately every 25 minutes. The mixture of precoat and paint material falls to the bottom of the hopper and stays there until a certain saturation point is reached. Once this saturation point has been reached the used precoat material is removed and replaced by new material. Cleaning does not affect booth balance. EcoDryScrubber an environmentally friendly process, which saves energy.
Recycling of used material The standard process of removing paint sludge from wet separation is up to four times more expensive than the removal of used precoat material from dry separation. This waste material can be reused in other production processes, such as the cement industry or flue gas desulfurization, without requiring further treatment. This is beneficial to your balance sheet and to the environment.
