With the thermal cleaning system VACUCLEAN 0917, SCHWING Technologies is primarily targeting users of especially tall filter candles and bundles up to 170 cm high and 90 cm in diameter.
The SCHWING system includes a very large melt-off container, holding up to 150 liters of plastic in one application.
The new vacuum pyrolysis system gently removes all plastic residues from very fine filters and guarantees filter qualities for the highest production results. Materials such as BOPP, PET and PC can be removed.
The fully automatic cleaning process of the VACUCLEAN 0917 takes place in an electrically heated vacuum cleaning chamber. The temperature is measured directly on the filter bundle, which is first heated slowly and gently. Here, a large part of the adhering plastic melts off and flows out.
At approximately 450 degrees Celsius, the decomposition of the remaining material takes place. Remaining carbon is finally removed by carefully adding air (controlled oxidation).
A sophisticated sensor system controls the entire cleaning process, so excess temperatures do not occur at any time.
