Cleaner Air Improves Results

We are led to believe that planing inevitably means savings everywhere. The dusty atmosphere produced is not only a health hazard, but also tends to compromise workshop productivity and the quality of the end products. Sophisticated exhaust and filter systems can help, provided they have been properly designed and are always operating at maximum efficiency. The new generation of control systems keeps air quality acceptable and filters clean at all times. But not only for cleaning air, also in various areas of process technology, there are applications for these new products.

The Buschjost modular control system handles a wide variety of cleaning modes, an unrestricted choice of pulse durations and intervals, and differential pressure regulation. Its modularity allows a close match with almost any requirement profile. Expansion modules providing more capacity and new functions make it a completely future-proof investment.

The system revolves around the basic module. This is equipped with a central control unit, integral power supply and 8 or 16 outputs for controlling filter pulse valves. The basic module can be fitted with an optional differential pressure regulator. Its wide selection of other modules allow it to be expanded into a customised, complex control and visualisation system for dust cleaning systems with up to 256 valve outlets. Expansion modules include 8 or 16 outputs, operating hours meter, discharge and beater controller, etc. Depending on the filter system, outputs for controlling solenoid valves, and with pilot valves accommodated in the housing of the control system, are available.

The control system is very easily installed. The basic and expansion modules only have to be connected to standardised bus and power cables. Connection to host networks is facilitated by the RS 232 interface. Parameters are entered in response to user-friendly menus on the control terminal or a computer.
