Particle Poker – Selecting the optimal filter system

Founded in 1994, ULT AG is a leading vendor of high efficiency fume extraction technology and process air drying solutions. The broad range of equipment has been designed for use in various industries, covering a wide range of applications. Among the solutions offered, there are standard products as well as custom-built units for special applications. The company has been DIN EN ISO 9001 certified for more than 20 years.

At the leading trade show LASER World of Photonics, ULT will present the new ProSight™ control system for its storage filter units. This specially developed control offers users various benefits for the operation and maintenance of ULT filter units. ProSight is a digital assistant that allows users to adjust the demand-based extraction power or monitor filter status, among other things, via a touch display. The integrated ’Smart Control System’ supports network communication (including the new OPC-UA standard) and use in automated environments via interfaces for machine coupling. Additional features include independent volume flow or pressure control, a timer system, and an integrated security concept with access control for multiple user roles. The data collected by the control system regarding extraction performance or filter status can be analyzed directly on the display and used to improve the efficiency of the device. Visitors to the trade fair in Munich/Germany can try out a test version of the ProSight control system at the ULT booth. At the LASER World of Photonics, ULT will present solutions for air filtration in laser processes, which also offer significant cost savings for users. ULT’s

The brand-new LAS 260.1 MD.14 from ULT is an ideal solution for companies that value efficient, safe and sustainable laser fume extraction. The brand-new LAS 260.1 MD.14 from ULT is an ideal solution for companies that value efficient, safe and sustainable laser fume extraction. In addition to its extremely quiet operation and minimal energy consumption, the extraction system is a flexible and powerful solution for occupational, process, and product protection. Universal and economic The LAS 260.1 is suitable for a wide variety of laser processes of different materials (metal, plastic, glass, etc.), making the extraction and filtration system a universal and economic solution for various industries and production or processing processes. Energy efficiency The utilized MD.14 EC fan, selected with a special focus on energy efficiency, ensures high airflow with minimal energy consumption. Combined with the specially developed ”Energy Saving Technology,” power consumption is reduced by up to 60% compared to other fan types. Plug-and-play The new storage filter system is easy to install and operate

With the ACD 400.1 Ex extraction and filter system, ULT presents a new solution for removing atmospheres with flammable components. The system, equipped with an explosion-proof fan in accordance with ATEX Ex II 2G T3, was developed for the extraction and filtration of dry, flammable and non-flammable gases and vapours in concentrations of up to 20% of the lower explosion limit. It is a modular, two-stage storage filter unit consisting of an M5 dust pre-filter and two adsorption filter modules (activated carbon). To prevent the ignition of flammable gases and vapours in the filter, the activated carbon filter elements and downstream components - such as the ATEX-compliant fan and the ATEX-compliant motor - are earthed and designed without ignition sources. In addition to its properties as an Ex device, the ‘ACD 400.1 Ex’ offers further user benefits such as extremely quiet operation, low energy consumption and high flexibility with regard to changing workstations or emission types. The filter cassettes are electrically conductive with a potential equalisation connection and also offer

ULT is introducing the LAS 260 H/Ex, a new solution for removing critical dust during various laser processes. The explosion-proof device was developed for extracting and filtering dry, combustible, and health-endangering airborne pollutants. ULT is introducing the LAS 260 H/Ex, a new solution for removing critical dust during various laser processes. The explosion-proof device was developed for extracting and filtering dry, combustible, and health-endangering pollutants (dust and fumes) that can arise during laser processing of plastics and metals. As an ATEX-compliant system designed to be free of ignition sources, the LAS 260 H/Ex is suitable for installation and operation within a zone 22 and enables the safe separation of combustible dust. Even the finest particles are separated to 99.995% in a two-stage filter system including a HEPA H-14 filter and safety filter stage. The safety filter with integrated activated carbon filling ensures the safe operation of the device and removes gases that are hazardous to health and unpleasant odors. Due to the high level of cleaning, the filtered clean gas can be fed back into the work area even when carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic dust is separated (recirculation

The new ULT 400.1 product series ensures energy-efficient and quiet operation with high flexibility and modularity - removing a wide range of emissions The all-new ULT 400.1 is a system series of energy efficient, modular, and extremely low-noise extraction and filtration solutions from air technology vendor ULT. The product family includes various extraction systems for the removal of laser fume (LAS 400.1), soldering fume (LRA 400.1), odors, gases, and vapors (ACD 400.1), as well as dust and smoke (ASD 400.1). At least two specialized filter configurations are available for each area of application. The modularly designed devices can be used both mobile and stationary in a wide variety of manufacturing and machining processes. The specially developed – and currently unique in the world – filter inflow concept achieves a very high absorption capacity of the filter. Users can look forward to a long filter service life and therefore significant cost savings, as energy consumption as well as maintenance and spare parts costs are sustainably reduced. The new ULT 400.1 device series features an innovative EC
