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

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.
