HOW DOES AG-FLOW WORK ?

AG-FLOW consist of a long collector (canal) in under pressure that is positioned above the machines. In this canal, the air speed is very low so that the extracted dust and chips fall by their own gravity on the bottom of the canal.

The scraper system brings the wood dust and woodchips to the end of the canal were they are exhausted thru a rotary valve and fall straight in a container our in a briquetting press positioned under this valve. They can also be transported to a big container (outside the workshop) via a pneumatically transport circuit.

When the installation is in function, the under pressure is permanently measured with a probe. Each machine is connected to the canal with a manual or a automatic pneumatic sliding damper. When you start a machine and the damper goes open, the under pressure decreases.

When you stop a machine and the damper goes shut, the under pressure increases. The probe pilots a frequency converter that will adjust automatically the rotation speed of the fan(s) and will make sure that the under pressure in the canal stays constant.

ENERGY SAVING

Linked to a dust extraction system in under pressure like Modulo or Moduflex, AG-FLOW, realises an energy saving of 50% in comparison with a traditional installation that is configured with a normal ducting network and a fan blowing into a pressure filter.

FLEXIBLE

Each machine is connected to this central canal. They can be placed, replaced and removed without changing anything to the rest of the installation.
