GARANT-Filter Type SThe flat bag filter works with hori-zontally arranged, flat filter ele-ments. The fully welded raw gaschamber with the transport friend-ly, conveniently mounted pure gaschamber, creates a totally air tightcompact filter, also suitable for hotgas applications. A variety of filtermedia for the relevant applicationguarantee pure gas values wellbeneath statutory requirements.

Our modular construction withvariable tubing lengths ensuresindividual planning considerationswith flow-rates of up to 450,000m³/h per filter unit.

GARANT-Filter supplies three alter-native construction units for this:

1. Type S with low pressureextraction

2. Type P with mobilepneumatic extraction

3. Type D with stationarypneumatic extraction

The new extraction systemGARANT TS with off-linecleaningConventional filters work with com-pressed air to peel off filter cakes.Apart from high-energy consumpti-on the filter material also suffersdue to high mechanical stress,which ultimately results in a reduc-tion of durability.

Our new TS System interrupts theflow of gas in 3 series of filters andthereby puts them "off-line". Twoseries of jets then carry out a care-ful extraction process. One series offilters is not flushed with air, so thatthe filter cake and especially finedust particles are carried down-wards to the dust collection hopperin a "down-flow" mode. This avoidsthe absorption of respirable dust byneighbouring filter series. Theresult is a total reduction of resi-dual dust, significantly below statu-tory regulations.

Energy efficient filter with reduced operating costs

� Flushing with air reduces electricity consumption

� New insulating systems / reduction of heat loss

� Optimized air flow by open supporting mash

� Extraction with multi-phase motor and parameter control

� Improved surface / volume ratio

Service optimised accessibility of all motors and components

Anyone who has had to exchange the starter motor of an air flush-ing system at a height will be impressed by GARANT-Filter's bene-fits. Our air flushing system stands on the floor, is convenient toreach and practical. All other components, which should be acces-sible for servicing, are also placed in the best position for inspecti-on and maintenance.

Fewer expendable parts mini-mise maintenance costs

The new generation ofGARANT-Filter Type S uses anintelligent step motor. Manymechanical components,which may be prone to faults,can therefore be avoided.

High level of pre-fabrication achieves cost effective assembly.

The modular construction of filters ensures quick and simpleinstallation of the system. All modules are fully pre-fabricated andwired. They only need to be screw connected on-site. This reducesthe cost of assembly to a minimum and the system can be startedup quicker.

The GARANT-Filter S optimisesthe ratio of actual filter surfaceto the applied transport volu-me. This significantly reducescosts for special transport andpackaging.

User friendly inspection in the Quasi-Penthouse

The walk-in pure gas chamber filter facilitates safe and comforta-ble maintenance and inspection work. All filter hoses can beexchanged without any additional safety measures and in anyweather conditions. This also obviously applies to all other possi-ble work, which needs to be carried out in the filter extractionsystem TS.

Tube Filter / Row Design

Tube Filter / Row DesignThis is a tube filter, which is pneu-matically cleaned. The filter hosesare arranged in a row, and thehousing is made of smooth interiorpanels. We can also supply wear-resistant and explosion-proofdesigns according to ATEX-regulati-ons.

The combination of special air-jetswith a venturi nozzle jet at theentry to the filter hose ensures thatthe air pressure pulse carries awaya large amount of pure gas (injec-tor effect). The strengthened pres-sure wave inflates the filter hosesuddenly, and the filter cake dropsdown.

By a sophisticated damper-cham-ber system off-line and semi off-line concepts can easily be realized

Circular Filter withPulse ModeThe circular filter works to thesame principle as our line filters. Itdoes, however, have special featu-res. The raw gas enters at a tangentinlet, which achieves separatingefficiency similar to a cyclone in thelower part of the cabinet.

Part of the material is therebyalready separated by centrifugalforce before the gas flows throughthe filter media. This design isdeployed together with specialmedium and high vacuum unitsand high material loads of thecrude gas, which is being treated.

System Benefits:

� Optimum impact on extractionfor longer duration

� Minimum consumption ofpressurised air

� On-line filter media exchange

Industrial Aeration andVentilation SystemsIt is important in modern producti-on processes to ensure controlledair exchange for people and tech-nology.

Intelligent air supply and extractionto and from the working environ-ment and that with the best andmost constant air conditions, is ourchallenge.

GARANT-Filter and LHS clean-airsystems realise energy efficientventilation systems with integratedheat recovery. But we also havetried and tested and economicsolutions for a clean air supply atany volume needed. Heating isprovided with the usual energysupply.

Low investment costs as well asexcellent controllability speak forthis system.

Circular Filter with Pulse Mode

Intensive exploration of customerrequirements and their circumstan-ces form the basis for individualand flexible total solutions.

Features, which are relevant to aspray paint system such as emissi-ons, fire danger and risk of explosi-on, need intensive contact withauthorities and employee protecti-on agencies when concepts aredesigned, and especially when theyare put into practice. This is ourchallenge, and it also reduces theburden on our customers.

Cyclones

Our high performance cyclones are individually designed and featu-re minimum loss of air pressure. They are used as pre- and spark-separators, which reduce the material load in the air which increa-ses the performance and lifetime of the filter unit.

The equipment can be fitted with pressure relief areas upon request.

Classifier

This type of separation is not used for purifying air, but for the cap-ture of particles of a certain consistency from a mixture of materi-als.

Classifiers are used for the classification of materials e.g. in theareas of wood, stony soil or building materials.

Wet Washers

The raw gas flow is jetted through the wet washer. Impure aerosolsand particles are wetted in the contact with recycled water and thenseparated centrifugally in the following cyclone and discharged.Sludge is removed via scrapers underneath and water reserves arealso stored here.

Conveyor Technology

We offer products and systemsfor material transport. Oursupply scope also includesworm und screw conveyors aswell as pneumatic conveyorsystems. The latter is also sup-plied in low and high-pressu-re versions.

Ventilators

Our know-how for the appropriate technical application of all typesof ventilators reduces our customers’ operating costs. Premiumdesign and planning as well as issues construction and size contri-bute to the creation of a perfect system concept.

Pipeline Construction

GARANT-Filter conceptualises, plans and manufactures differenttypes of pipelines and ductwork concepts for all types of use in airand dust separation technology, whether it be simple piping for fac-tory ventilation or strong, welded steel pipes for extremely abrasiveexhaust gases. Alternatively we supply detailed manufacturing andassembly documentation, which allows you to carry out on-siteassembly of pipelines that are good for your budget and to yoursatisfaction.

Filter Cartridges

We manufacture filter cartrid-ges in angular and rounddesigns as well as in varioussizes.

The volume of air, the type ofmaterial that is to be extrac-ted, system pressure and theassembly conditions are deci-sive for making the choice.

Silos

Nowadays, silos are needed everywhere where bulk materials mustbe stored quickly, efficiently and safely at best price/performanceratio.

Appropriately zoned, our silos and/or plant components are builtaccording to the regulations of the ATEX-guidelines.

Rotary Airlock

Rotary airlocks serve to separate system compartments with diffe-rent air pressures.

As always the type of requirement will determine its use. Our air-locks can be supplied in standardised nominal values NW315 toNW2000. Material consistency, pressure values and equally impor-tant questions of safety such as fire and explosion protection mustbe considered.

The Life Cycle of a Filter System

Our service contracts focus on general performance, whereby our specialists look afteryour system throughout its full life span and constantly optimise it. Operating times,care and maintenance strategies are already determined in planning and this formsthe basis of our comprehensive service concept together with operational data collecti-on and regular inspections. With this, we increase your system’s operational safetyand availability and reduce your operating cost at the same time.

Maintenance Contract

The maintenance contract builds on the basic service provided bythe inspection contract. The main difference is that our trainedGARANT Team carries out upcoming maintenance work. The ser-vice level and the necessary replacement parts for this are agreedin advance. In addition, we promise a preferential premium ser-vice -the response time is reduced to a minimum. A technicianarrives at the site within an agreed response time.

Inspection Contract

The range of our performance starts with working out a compre-hensive maintenance and diagnosis concept specific to each filtersystem. Continuous inspections, carried out at regular intervals byour experienced service personnel, increase the life span of thesystem. Inspection reports and suggestions for maintenance workto optimise the system are provided and are mutually discussed.

Replacement Parts

GARANT-Filter manufactures all filters and the most importantcomponents in its own production facility. Replacement parts andcomponents, which are made by partners, are strictly quality-con-trolled. This ensures that all GARANT replacement parts conform tothe highest requirements. We manufacture external componentsaccording to drawings, samples or upon agreement.

Retro-Fit

Modernisation of your systemwith the latest technology – fast,reliable and durable! A carefulon-site analysis of the filtersystem marks the start of everyRetro-Fit project.

Expansion / Performance Adaptation

Changed production processes often make it necessary to expand a filter system. Ourmodular manufacturing technology makes it possible to increase filter performance afteryears of service.

Conversion measures are co-ordinated and carried out by our team. Older systems oftenup-dated by means of a Retro-Fit-Package. At the same time, this gives our customers anexpansion to their system as well as the latest technology with state-of-the-art compo-nents developed by GARANT.

Readings

Regular readings ensure the detection of potential developmentsin the condition of the filter system. Performance measurements,gas analyses, dust readings, and dust analyses are also part ofour service together with testing filter materials. GARANT-Filterdoes this with the latest diagnostic measuring instruments.

Full Service Contract

This type of contract offers the best possible maintenance of yoursystem and supply assurance. The reason for this is that, in additi-on to the services of the inspection and maintenance contract, thecustomer receives all expendable and replacement parts at anannual fixed price. This applies to the contractually agreed timeframe irrespective of how often we exchange filter bags or inspectthe system. It allows you to calculate your system and operatingcosts (TCO) exactly.
