The Customer Statement

 

The up-grade of the Matho system has been implemented flawless. Only a few hours production stop were required so that the Matho engineers could swap the exhaust fan as well as the exhaust piping. Given the available space for the engineers to work (the exhaust fan & sound insulation box are positioned in a separate room) this was a first-class job! Not a single negative comment from the Matho engineers – they just wanted the job to be done. Next to the extension of the exhaust system, 2 oilers have been replaced to the latest generation. Also here: plug and play!

 

The Solution

 

Max. Aarts already had a central extraction system CB-1000.2 since 2010. This system cut and conveyed the waste from two matrix machines and one edge trim machine. In 2021 Matho extended it to one additional matrix machine and another edge trim machine.

For this expansion it was necessary to increase the fan drive power from 7.5 kW to 15,0 kW and to adapt the pipe system including the pipe diameters. This also enables the system to be expanded to include a further production line in the future. The waste materials are shredded using cutter modules, sucked off with a radial fan and collected in two 1000l big bags. In order to guarantee an energy-efficient solution, the system was equipped with a frequency converter for stepless adjustment of the fan output.

 

The Benefits

  • Volume reduction by shredding the residual material using a cutter positioned in the pipe system
  • Very low noise development
  • Reduction of machine downtimes
  • High machine speed during the slitting / rewinding process
