Infastaub has significantly simplified change of filter cartridges Life-cycle costs of durable industrial goods, to which cartridge filters also belong, are influenced by operating and follow-up costs. This also includes working time for installation and change of filter cartridges. But filter cartridges – as well as with every other filter unit - have to be changed in regular intervals. Compared to common fastening mechanisms, Infastaub has significantly simplified this system. Because of a special fastening, the operating personnel can carry out the cartridge change without any tools. For this purpose, the front clamping rail only needs to be unfastened and the cartridges can directly and easily be removed. The filter media change is carried out via the maintenance door on raw gas side, so that no additional height is necessary. Even the basic dimensions of the filter unit remain same with the new cartridges.

INFA-Lamellen-Jet AJL receives versatile optimizations The INFA-Lamellen-Jet AJL is a versatile usable aspiration filter for separation of dry, non-sticky dusts. Filter units of this series achieve a maximum filter surface area on minimum space requirements because of their pleated filter elements (filter lamellas). Now the design of the AJL has been refreshed. Numerous demands on operating efficiency and flexibility for the operator were considered. The former vertical struttings inside the raw gas chamber are now on the exterior side thus the filter is easier to clean. The doorhang can be changed from left to right any time. Therefore a change in place of installation is practicable without large effort. The justification of inspection doors is simplified, the supporting construction strengthened. A pressure shock resistant design is in development. Additional benefits of the new AJL pleated element filter are: • easier cleanability inside • flexible adaptions upon requirements • retrofit into a pocket filter

New design of cartridge filter Infa-Jetron AJP and now available with secondary filter sta The popular Infa-Jetron AJP series, designed as dust collectors or vent filters, has received enhancement. As of now the dust collector is available with a secondary filter stage, too. The second filter stage with filter cassette reduces the residual dust content and serves as safety filter at the same time. Further features of the filter unit are additional lengths of filter cartridges of 500 mm and 1,400 mm. The filter surface and the volume flow are consequently extended. Different possibilities for raw gas inlet and clean gas outlet also provide a large flexibility as well as the different basicmaterials for the raw gas and clean gas area. Additional benefits of the new AJP dust collector are: - easier assembly - extended volume flow ranges - more filter surface at less floor space - higher safety and less residual dust content because of secondary filter stage

Motivated by the strong market resonance Infastaub has extended the filter series INFA-JETRON AJP 224 silo filter are fully automatic venting filters for de-dusting of exhaust air from silos, containers or machines. Filter units of this series are generally suitable for all needs, where a dust/air mixture continuously arises over a long period of time, e. g. for de-dusting of mechanical transport and manufacturing processes. Motivated by the strong market resonance, Infastaub has extended the filter series by a new design. All parts in contact with the product and also the clean gas side can be manufactured in stainless steel. This qualifies the filter units in particular for the food, chemical, pharmaceutical and plastics industry. The filter elements are food safe according to EG 1935/2004 and EG 10/2011. The pneumatic cleaning and high filtration performance of the AJP provide a very low residual dust content, also suitable for returning the exhaust air back to working places. The long life time and unique maintenance friendliness realise

15 filter plants de-dust 26 dust sources Beside the big coal and natural gas reserves, Siberia also disposes of an immense potential in lime and marl stone sources. The mineral resources are required as raw material base for the cement production. Because of the Russian „programme for the development of building material industry till 2020“ and the rising demand for cement and chemical construction products, increase the extension of the building material industry. So also in Nowosibirsk. There the company Gerkules-Sibir was founded in 1997. The building material supplier produces the raw materials of the cement industry to dry mortar, gypsum plaster, screed etc. In 2013 Gerkules modernised its plant 7 and refurbished also the de-dusting units. The order of 15 filter units for de-dusting of 26 dust sources (elevators, crusher, sieves, scale bunker, belt transfer points, packing machines, pneumatic conveying etc.) was awarded to SovPlym, the Russian representative of Infastaub. Overall the 15 filter units

Pocket filter of type series INFA-JET AJN for conveying systems Strict hygienic and quality regulations - according to these the food industry is working. That way also for production of hypoallergenic baby food which is strictly supervised. And this is important; health of babies allows no room for mistakes. The company Gericke is one of the leading plant manufacturers in this demanding production sector. For the realisation of a new production plant for baby food in Switzerland, the project managers of Gericke decided to count on filters of Infastaub for de-dusting the conveying systems. „It was decisive for us, that Infastaub guaranteed to supply pocket filters in this high quality“, explains Thomas Künzli, Manager Purchasing at Gericke. Infastaub delivered several pocket filters of series INFA-JET AJN for this project. Taking into account the products to be de-dusted all parts in contact with the product and conveying air were made in stainless steel. Because of of the high hygienic demand the filter pocket support

Special preventive measures are necessary to prevent contamination spread of radioactive materials. This includes also firm housings to protect employees in their job against external and internal radiation exposition. The term „caisson“ is also used for such a housing. The exhaust of the housings is sucked through filter units, which prevent employees and evnironment from radiation exposition by particles in the exhaust air. At „Nuclear Engineering Seibersdorf“ (NES) in Austria two identical cassette filters of type INFA-MICRON MKR were installed by a German plant contractor for nuclear technology. The filters made of stainless steel are used for the de-dusting of two stainless stell caissons in which radioactive waste is disaggregated, sorted and reconditioned. The dust particles which mainly originate from medical area, e.g. from radiation therapy and nuclear medicine, are led through the pre-filter into a central filter unit. The cassette filters were

Reagens is a manufacturer of special chemicals for production of PVC and other thermoplastic plastics. In the production location Loxstedt organically based stabilizers are produced among other things. In our everyday life they are hardly perceived, but the special chemicals are essential for the processing of PVC. Only by their use the final products get their required durability. The up to now used cyclone for the dust removal of the production processes could not any longer fulfil the realisation of lower dust emission values presecuted by Reagens. In lieu of the cyclone Infastaub delivered an aspiration filter of the type Infa-Lamellen-Jet. In spite of small floor space a filter surface of 72 m² could be realised because of the optimised filter geometry. The old fan was substituted with an energy-optimised fan type. The requirements for the new filter unit were very special. The paraffin containing dust particles are adhesive, waxy and could clog the pleated

Career in dedusting Infastaub registers a steady and healthy development since decades. Also in the economically difficult environment of the crisis months we have succeeded in growing solidly and future-oriented. Among the rest, a lmilestone of the last months is the new silo vent filter in rectangular design. So that we also are in future successfully in the market, we strengthen our departments of technology and sales. Become a part of our team and apply for the offered positions.

The AJP 224, the new silo vent filter in rectangular construction method of Infastaub, attracted act The POWTECH 2010 has underlined the upward trend in the German machine construction and investment construction. Also Infastaub presented itself successfully for the POWTECH 2010. The raised investment readiness was considerably perceptible on the exhibition stand and in the conversations. Thus one registered this year 40 % more visitors than during the last POWTECH 2008. As a new innovation the cartridge filters AJP 224 was issued, the new silo vent filter in rectangular design. With the objective of process optimisation, reduction in costs and economic efficiency the dust removal specialist has developed a new silo filter. The experiences of the proven silo filter INFA-JETRON type AJB 800 are included into the product development. Equipped with the strengths and advantages of the AJB as well as the shaker filter INFA-MAT AM 204, the new silo vent filter AJP 224 admits versatile uses by the standardization. In case of a new filter investment the connection flanges

INFASTAUB launches the new silo vent filter in rectangular design Filtering separators are essential for silos. The INFA-JETRON silo vent filter; type AJB 800, has proven performance for this application. The "Filtration + Separation" magazine has already commended the bestseller and its performance. INFASTAUB from Bad Homburg uses the experience of the reliable AJB 800 and launches the silo vent filter, type AJP 224, in rectangular design. The construction of the newly engineered cartridge filter combines both the strengths and benefits of the AJB and of the mechanical shaking filter AM 204, which has been installed on many silos for many years. It focuses on the identical dimensions of the AM 204 and the pneumatically cleaned AJP 224. Consequently, the connecting flanges on the silos don’t have to be modified, if you want to change the filter type. This saves costs in a new investment. In addition, the standardisation allows very versatile applications. Without making alterations to the flange connections, the AM 204
