Non-Ferrous Metals
Within the non-ferrous metal industries, such as copper, brass, zinc, and aluminum, Scheuch offers exhaust gas cooling, dust control, and sorption system solutions.
Foundry
Depending on application requirements, components cast from non-ferrous metals create dirty exhaust air primarily during the smelting, casting, mold, and sand process. Scheuch offers a full range of products and solutions for all foundry applications.
Metal Process
The range of air pollution control solutions offered by Scheuch covers a whole host of metal processing requirements, from dust control to waste heat utilization.
- Sandblasting facilities
- Flame and laser-cutting machines
- Welding
- Hot-dip galvanizing
DUST FILTRATION
Process Filters
Scheuch’s innovative air pollution control (APC) technology has found its place in a variety of applications across the globe. Our global subsidiaries allow us to meet our client’s clean air requirements through every step of the manufacturing process. Product scope extends from baghouse dust collectors to exhaust gas cooling and waste heat utilization.
DUST FILTRATION
Nuisance Filters
Because of their large-volume valves and patented Impulse cleaning system, the Compact Impulse Filter model stands out with its low operating and maintenance costs. In addition, the compressed air cleaning system, the filter bag, or cage design ensures the highest levels of operating reliability.
DUST FILTRATION
Hot-Gas Filter
Scheuch’s Hot-Gas Filter is the future of exhaust gas cleaning and dust control. This model can really take the heat. One of the many advantages is the high-temperature resistance of the ceramic (candle) filter elements. While conventional bag filters with fabric media reach their limits at process temperatures of 500° F (260° C), for hot-gas filters and their ceramic filter elements, even 932° F (500° C) is not a problem.
EXHAUST GAS CLEANING
Dry Sorption
Scheuch specializes in providing customized solutions for each individual application to ensure the best combination to maximize investment costs and minimize operating expenses. Scheuch dry sorption technologies include reducing acidic pollutants (HF, HCL, SOx) that use additives based on Ca (cal cium) or Na (sodium).
HEAT EXCHANGERS and COOLING SYSTEMS
Waste Heat Utilization
Waste heat utilization systems used with local heat and district heat allow the energy that is recovered to be put to the best possible use in a profitable way. Scheuch developed the Energy Recovery & Cleaning System (ERCS) that maximizes waste heat utilization for boiler outputs of up to 200 MW using condensers and economizers.
HEAT EXCHANGERS and COOLING SYSTEMS
Gas Conditioning Tower
When performing exhaust gas cleaning, the exhaust gas needs to be cooled down prior to starting the cleaning process. Scheuch’s gas conditioning towers provide exceptional efficiency due to its optimal instrument-based design and layout combined with adapted controls.
FANS
Radial Fans
Scheuch has built more than 70,000 industrial-grade radial fans to transport clean or exhaust air, chips, and fibrous material as well as explosive gas mixtures. Over the years, we have created and perfected a comprehensive program of roughly 1,700 fan types. These fan types range in pressure from 750 Pa (4 in WC) to 30,000 Pa (80 in WC), and their volume flows range from 750 to 960,000 Am/h (300 to 380,000 acfm).3
BULK MATERIAL HANDLING
Rotary Valves
We use rotary valves to release dust, chipboard shavings, and fibrous conveyed materials. Additionally, they serve as shut-off devices. We can design Schuech rotary valves to resist ignition and flame penetration for explosion decoupling purposes.
BULK MATERIAL HANDLING
Screw Conveyors
Tube and trough-type screw conveyors are used to continuously transport bulk materials at throughput volumes of 2 to 500 m3/h and with diameters between 8 and 40 inches (200 and 1,000 mm). Model types of screw conveyors include pipe, trough, and custom design.
BULK MATERIAL HANDLING
Pendulum Flaps
Pendulum flaps are used for the continuous dosing, blocking, and discharging of bulk materials. The flexible structure of the Scheuch pendulum flaps enables reliable channeling and separation of free-flowing bulk materials out of and into pressure-difference chambers (e.g., filter systems). Pneumatic, electrical, or mechanical actuation options are available.
