Applications forceramics industry

Ceramic-based products are applied in many industries, e.g. technical ceramics (electro-technology, medical engineering, universal mechanical engineering / machine tool manufacturing, daily commodity ceramics like sanitary ware, ceramic dishes) or heavy ceramics (tiles, ducts...) – wherever, the base for manufacturing is ceramic material.

Fine dust emissions are created during manufacturing of all these products that often cannot be avoided

even on use of modern machines and technologies. Capturing, exhausting and separating these dusts is mostly necessary due to the production process, the product‘s specifics or due to employment laws respectively environmental laws.

Handling of fine dust emissions gets additionally complicated due to the fact that the dust may be harmful to health. Therefore, this subject is very important.

The multitude of industrial processes and methods during manufacturing of ceramic products leads to different airborne substances. Type and quantity of the dusts to be separated, their physical features and aggregate state specify the selection of the suitable separating proceeding.

The task

• Technical ceramics - high-performance ceramic - structural ceramics - industrial ceramics - construction ceramics - functional ceramics - engineering ceramics - electrical ceramics - cutting ceramics• dishes• decorative ceramics• sanitary ceramics• tiles• ceramic based abrasives

• product recycling • high availability• clean air recirculation• constant air volume• compact construction• system solutions

Extensive referencesYour benefit: Sophisticated systems that are continuously adapted to the latest state of the art.

Yout benefit

Advantage product recyclingWhen separating airborne substances, the ProBran® filtering elements allows pure product recycling by ideal PTFE membrane surface filtration.Your benefit: Quality assurance when recycling the separated materials as no filter material residuals are within the separated material.

Advantage high availabilityExcellent lifetime when using ProBran® filter technology. Keller Lufttechnik’s warranty: 20000 operation hours and a high availability ensure an economic unit operation.Your benefit: Reductions of spare parts costs, waste disposal costs as well as loss of production times and maintenance expenditures.

Advantage clean air recirculationAir recirculation into the working room because of small and constant residual dust concentrations upon the complete lifetime of the ProBran®

filtering elements. Your benefit: Savings in energy costs and measures regarding air make-up of the exhausted air volume.

Advantage constant air flow rateConstant air flow rate by ideal surface filtration in combination with compressed air pluse cleaning during operation. Your benefit: Constant operation conditions even on large dust quantities in the filter.

Advantage compact designCompact module design for an ideal adjustment to the necessary suction output.Your benefit: Investment optimisation and minimisation of the required space.

Advantage system solutionProjecting of system solutions (individual capturing, ductwork, exhaust technology, sound insulation, services). Your benefit: ONE competent contact person – no warranty-relevant interfaces.

ProBran® filter elements are proven filter elements in various applications and ensure very compact filter con-structions due to their large filtration surface. High separation efficiencies are achieved at a very small pressureloss. Since each fold is agglutinated separately, the filter elements dis-pose of a very robust self-supporting construction which does not require asupport body. The large amount of various filter qualities allow an opti-mal adjustment to the corresponding range of applicaton.

ProBran® – versatile, high-performance, energy efficient and durable
