Scrap, Trim and Waste Extraction
Wherever an industrial process produces waste, we can design systems to capture and remove it. The waste will then simply be taken away to be recycled or disposed of. Our expertise in this process is trusted for many different medias and industries such as food and beverage, paper, corrugated card or packaging and containers. Efficient industrial waste extraction in the workplace is critical to the safety of your working environment, and with over 100 years of combined engineering expertise behind us, we’re the ones to call.
How do Production Waste Extraction Systems Work?
A typical waste removal system uses extraction points strategically positioned near key waste-generating areas of your production process. Each extraction point is connected to a main header system, which leads back to waste-handling fans. These fans create the correct volume, pressure and conveying velocity within the system to keep the trim waste constantly moving, enabling the waste removal system to rapidly remove the material right from the source.
What is a typical Process?
The stages to a typical waste extraction system, such as in the can-making industry working with aluminium, steel and tin are as follows:
Corrugated or Carton Board Extraction
Edge trim removal can be particularly challenging when dealing with corrugated or carton board materials. Corrugated board is often thick and heavy, and as the trim is removed it can create endless, unmanageable strips. On a fast-moving production line, it’s vital that your extraction system can not only handle the collection and removal of the scrap waste but chop and bale the corrugated trim, so conveying and compacting is easier.
With heavy-duty ductwork, a high-speed air stream and chopper fans to reduce the size of individual pieces of carton waste, our automated carton board packaging removal systems will keep your production area waste-free. The reclaimed carton waste can then be compacted and baled, ready for recycling or removal.
Paper Trim Handling
Automated paper waste removal and collection can have a major impact on safety and production efficiency. Without its removal, paper waste can be a fire hazard or increase risks to health and safety. It can also clog presses, folders and guillotines, reducing efficiency as it increases operating costs.
integratedAIR systems automatically handle the collection, conveying and compacting of trim, removing waste and risk from the printing floor and helping to protect your production efficiency. The waste will be collected in a central waste removal system to then be compacted and baled, ready for recycling or removal.
Process Exhaust Stacks
integratedAIR Systems can supply and install a range of exhaust solutions designed to suit individual requirements. Depending on the gas/fume it will go through one of our filters before being discharged to atmosphere to comply with environmental regulations.
Foil Waste Extraction
Automatically remove foil, film and other waste from your food production and you boost productivity and efficiency while reducing the need for manual interventions.
Our air systems achieve that with powerful waste trim collection hoods which maximise extraction, maximise waste collection and maximise the amount of waste compacted and sent for recycling.
Beverage Can Waste Handling
Your production facility has multiple points where aluminium waste can be created: from presses to trimmers to reject points. integratedAIR Systems produces whole-floor waste extraction air systems to enable the automatic removal of drinks can waste. All our systems are custom built with durability and efficiency in mind. With Heavy-duty ductwork to ensure the system remains robust, we can add choppers and separators to make sorting, compacting and recycling materials more straightforward and cost-effective.
Dust Control Systems
integratedAIR system offers a wide range of dust control systems and cyclones to help keep your workplace HSE compliant. Our dust solution ranges from welding extraction to chemical and metal dust.
