Thermico GmbH & Co.KG, a German-based company, develops, produces
and distributes robot-based coating centres. They specialise in plasma
and high velocity flame spray systems that provide coatings for a wide
range of products from aircraft turbine blades to Teflon® frying pans.
This company required a new extraction system to handle the dust and fumes
from the plasma and HVOF spray systems that were being installed on
their new premises. The solution included an ATEX compliant dust collector, which was fitted with explosion venting panels and high
efficiency fire retardant filter cartridges.
The installation also included an energy saving setup that incorporated a heat exchange system. In summer, fresh air is provided through the supply air system whilst
the warm air from the factory processes is simply exhausted to the
atmosphere, therefore contributing to keep the factory cool.
