Industrial
Revolution's Close Capture Fume Hoods for induction melting
furnaces are the most efficient on the market. The slotted hood
and the telescoping duct design gives superior exhaust coverage
over the complete melt area during all operations. Low CFM requirements
and low static pressure requirements compared to other hoods
and ventilation systems currently on the market make these hoods
the most cost effective.
Efficiency benefits to consider:
•
Reduced collector sizes and operation costs due to low CFM
& static requirements.
•
Reduces air make up and conditioning costs to the melt area
due to the decrease of exhaust air.
•
Low cost, dirty materials, including galvanized or oily machine
turnings can be used as charge material due to the very efficient
exhaust coverage.
The
fume hoods along with all equipment Industrial Revolution
Ltd produces is built heavy-duty. This ensures that each fume
hood performs exceptionally well under the most rigorous demands
of the foundry industry and is backed with a two-year warranty.
Independent nested arms and two pairs of independent hydraulic
cylinders allow the fume hoods to tilt up to 90 degrees towards
or up to 90 degrees away from the spout without having to
manually change any latching. Lifting the hood in a "Z lift"
is also possible as the secondary and primary tilting are
independent.
In a "Z lift" position the heat that radiates onto the operator
on a traditional fume hood can be directed away from the operator
when slaging or sampling of the bath.
Each
hood is designed to mate with vibratory or belt charge feeders.
Industrial Revolution Ltd can supply the mating section of the
feeder or drawings for the charge system manufacture. Emissions
that normally occur during charging of the furnace when the
hood is open are virtually eliminated with a good mate to the
fume hood. If your operation currently uses a charge bucket
system, Industrial Revolution designs and fabricates charge
buckets to mate with the hood.
The hoods can be supplied with either single exhaust or dual
exhaust if the room is available. The dual exhaust system is
the most efficient system but it is not always practical if
trying to install into an existing environment. Both systems
have exceptional exhaust distribution but with the dual exhaust
system the efficiency is increased due to the lower static pressure
required in the design.
The low profile hood design (12" to 18" max) is the most compact
hood on the market. Most hoods are shallower than existing lid
posts on the furnaces. This feature insures that the hood avoids
interference with existing structures and molten metal transfer
systems while achieving exceptional smoke and fume captures.
Complete installation or installation supervision is available.
