One GS4 dust collection unit that helped Viracon transition from a wet to a dry process.<\/p><\/div>\n

Viracon, Inc. is an architectural glass fabrication company with locations in the US and Brazil.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re using a dry seaming system. We use silicon carbide or aluminum carbide belts at high speed to take the sharp edges off the glass that\u2019s just been cut,\u201d explained Chuck Wencl, process engineer at Viracon. As a result, glass, silicon carbide, and aluminum carbide particles were being released into the atmosphere. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want the dust to be all over the plant,\u201d Wencl continued, \u201cIt would infiltrate the other processes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Viracon was undergoing a transition from a wet application to a dry application, which made dust collection an even higher priority. To remedy their problem, Viracon installed a competitor\u2019s dust collection systems. \u201cYou would rake the bags to shake some of the dust out,\u201d Wencl noted. \u201cYou had to do everything manually.\u201d This manual interaction wasted valuable time, cutting worker efficiency.<\/p>\n

The ideal system would be, as Wencl mentioned, \u201cOne unit to handle more than one seaming application that was automated so that people didn\u2019t have to continuously clean it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A Farr Gold Series model GS4 was installed to capture dust at the source of the glass cutting and in a contained area. \"The units are run during both 12-hour shifts at the facility,\" Wencl noted. \u201cThey run 24\/7.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wencl applauded the Farr Gold Series' ease of maintenance saying, \u201cThey are maintenance-free. Even with the oldest units, I\u2019ve never had to replace the filters in them.\u201d He continued, \u201cI have spare filters in-house if I need them, but I\u2019ve never had to install them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s made the manufacturing process cleaner because the units are more powerful than the older ones were,\u201d Wencl added. \u201cIt\u2019s self-cleaning. You forget about it. It\u2019s just there all the time, doing its job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since their initial purchase of the Farr Gold Series units, Viracon has also installed them in their other locations in Georgia and Utah.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
