Design of System for Central Aspiration of Wood Dust

Abstract

A major prerequisite for the efficient operation of machineries in furniture industry is properly designed system for dust removal and collection. Inadequate dusting directly affects the life cycle of cutting tools, as well as the lubrication system, because inadequate removal of waste material from the cutting tool is cause for insufficient heat dissipation. In addition, proper design of aspiration ensures limited emissions of particles into the atmosphere, as well as dusting of a production hall. A large amount of dust in the production hall, which has accumulated on heat exchangers, significantly reduces the efficiency of heating systems. Installation of central aspiration system provides a lot of benefits, among other things, the place to collect waste. Waste material can be used for energy purposes, and that can leads to significant savings. The model of replacing the existing system of aspiration with a central one with appropriate techno-economic analysis is presented in this paper.
