Industrial Filtration Technology Validus

Cleanroom
In the system design of a vacuum filtration system, the cleanroom serves as a connection between the filter and fan room. For a filtration system operated in excess pressure, it forms the upper end of the entire system. In both cases, the clean air space absorbs the purified air volume and forwards it in a targeted manner to the fans or the connected return air/exhaust air duct. Additional components of the filter cleaning find their place here. Large maintenance doors allow easy access during maintenance.

Validus filtration systems grow with your requirements

Local conditions require flexibility and tailor-made solutions. The Schuko modular system is characterized by its enormous versatility: From single filters to series filters, all combination options are available as standard.

The amount of air and material to be extracted and their type determine the required size of the filtration system and its filter surface. Using Solo filter element or a combination of drive, intermediate, combi and end element, Validus filtration systems can be assembled systematically.

Air capacities from 8,000 m³/h to over 300,000 m³/h can be installed as standard.

Our fully automatic sheet metal processing guarantees a consistently high quality and perfect fit for all system parts. This results in significant reduction in vibration and unnecessary running noise .

Validus filtration systems have a modular structure and can therefore be adapted and expanded at any time to meet your needs - they grow with your tasks. Our production is also well prepared for special solutions and special applications.

Drive element
A drive element is always necessary if at least two filter elements are needed. The drive for the necessary chain discharge as well as the rotary feeder required for discharge are installed on element.

Combined element
Combined element The combination element has an additional blow-in section for connecting the suction pipes to the filter housing. It is used in row filters of uniform distribution of extracted air-chip-dust mixture in the filter housing and reduces the contamination of the filter tubes. A combination element can also be used as an end element (see photo).

Disposal in chip collection bags via bagging device with three chip collection barrels and inserted chip collection bags

Disposal in a Sulo or standard container

• via rotary valve with inclined tube/or cross auger conveying
• with underframe via rotary valve and chute

Disposal with briquetting press via chip collector with stirrer and auger conveyor

Different chips and dusts require different options for efficient and gentle filter tube cleaning. For some methods,

breaks are necessary (offline cleaning), while others can be performed during plant operation (online cleaning).

Mechanical regeneration (offline cleaning):

Sticking dust and chip particles are knocked out by a quick back and forth movement of the filter tubes. The regeneration mechanism automatically starts with a delay after switching off the extraction.

Pressure surge regeneration (online cleaning):

Above each filter tube row, a compressed air lance is positioned, from where special Venturi compressed air nozzles are mounted above each filter tube. The compressed air lances are laterally firmly connected to a compressed air tank. For the cleaning of the filter tubes, a strong pressure surge is successively pressed through each lance and nozzle. This inflates the filter tube and blows off sticking dusts and chips.

Mobile pressure surge regeneration (online cleaning):

The mobile pressure surge regeneration works like the fixed compressed air cleaning. However, the compressed air tank is mounted flexibly in the housing. So the tank drives each filter tube row individually. As a result, the mobile compressed air tank can also supply several filter elements.

Scavenge air regeneration (online cleaning):

The purging air regeneration consists of a scavenge air carriage, on which four opposite, slightly inclined fans are located. These generate a counterflow of air and blow it through two filter tube rows underneath. Particles are blown out. A scavenge carriage is used with several filter elements.

• Various needs-based disposal solutions, such as in chip collection barrels, BigBags, Sulo/standard containers, chip injection containers, briquetting press or silo feeding.
• Four proven solutions for efficient and gentle filter tube cleaning.
• External filter tubes prevent material bridges and are easy to clean.
• Available with patented SchukoCone® filter tubes, which provide even more filter area with the same space requirement (especially recommended for the finest dusts).
• More information about our SchukoCone® filter tubes can be found here.
• The tested filter material guarantees a clean and safe return air operation.

• For quick installation, Validus filter units are available in preassembled condition, saving on-site assembly time.
• If your machinery changes, Validus filtration systems can be flexibly expanded thanks to the modular system.
• The easy accessibility of lubrication points and the large maintenance doors with viewing windows reduce maintenance times and maintenance costs.

The scope of delivery of your filtration system depends on the individual system size and equipment. As part of the project, all details are clarified and summarized in a specification. The duration of the installation depends on the scope of the system. Individual filter elements can also be ordered pre-assembled, thus considerably reducing the time required for installation.

For the delivery of your new filtration system various on-site precautions must be taken, such as a stable foundation, wall and/or ceiling openings, compressed air connection or the like.

All details are discussed in detail in advance, so that the process runs smoothly.

The delivery is carried out either by ourselves or by long-term forwarding partners.

For the smooth construction, a competent and experienced Schuko installation team is at your disposal. In order to avoid loss of production while we reduce your existing extraction, we are happy to make available rental equipment that will temporarily supply your machinery if necessary. Even the weekend assembly is possible under certain circumstances.
