Acoustic Cleaners
For Wood Products Industry
Boilers: With rapidly increasing fuel costs very many wood processing and forming plants now recover energy from waste materials, providing convenient onsite power with a low carbon footprint. Many boilers used however suffer from blockage due to the relatively high ash content of this fuel. Acoustic cleaning is employed through existing openings to prevent this build up of combustion material on heat exchange surfaces. Clear heat exchange surfaces mean high boiler efficiencies and minimized shutdowns.
Filters: Filter medium can quickly clog with dust from wood processing or combustion materials, reverse pulsing or jetting can result in very high compressed air usage and excessive wear to the filter medium. Fitting Primasonics Acoustic cleaners reduces or eliminates the need to reverse pulse and keeps internal structures and hoppers free from build up.
Fans: Induced draft fan imbalance is caused by uneven build up on the fan blades and can cause serious damage to the main shaft bearings, fitting Primasonics acoustic cleaners can reduce or eliminate the build up and ensure continuous operations.
Ducting: Blockage and build up in ducting is easily fixed by acoustic cleaning, removing the build up means more efficient material transfer, no cross contamination and a reduction of fire hazards.
Hoppers: Hopper blockage and build up is a common problem when dealing with wood fibres. Primasonics acoustic cleaners are designed to affect the wood fibres or dust not the hopper so that structures are not subjected to resonant stress and material is allowed to flow freely and easily.
