Innovations for a better world.


Aspiration

Application

• For keeping machines and systems dust-free

• To enable machines working properly that do use air as a medium


example: Destoner, Aspiration channel

• To provide cooling effect to the product and/or machines

• To avoid explosive atmosphere

Elements of Aspiration systems:

Filters
• To ensure dust-free air emission from the building

Cyclones (intermediate receivers)


• As intermediate stock separators

Fans / Blowers
• Machines to move the medium “air”

Airlocks
• To separate transportation air from the remaining process

Aspiration ducts

Important Parameters:
• Air volume
• Air speed Control of Airvolume:
• Negative pressure • By butterfly valves

Negative pressure:
• Choice of aspiration fan
• Depends on duct length
• Depends on machine
aspiration requirement
Control of Airspeed:
• By secondary air inlets
Increase of duct
• By correct duct diameter
diameter after each
branch to maintain air
speed

Central aspiration system:

Central Aspiration system


with ducting and central filter

Advantages:
• Low cost

• Bins are aspirated even if the


aspiration flaps are closed through
intentional false air (flaps are not being
manufactured 100% air-tight)

5 Intafact Beverages Nigeria, Limited Sagamu, Nigeira Stafftraining


Single filter aspiration:

Single Filter aspiration system:


Every bin or conveyor has its own aspiration
filter

Advantages:
• Simple Layout (less ducts)

• Product can easily be used for the process

• No product cross-contamination

• Decoupling of the system (a explosion


cannot get through the aspiration system to
other machines)
