Vidaco engineered Advancing Steam Cleaning Systems for Knauf Insulation
Integrating Advanced Engineering for Enhanced Process Efficiency
In this update, we spotlight a technically demanding project undertaken by Vidaco for Knauf Insulation—revamping their steam washing system for mesh conveyors. This collaboration, now in its fourth year, has yielded about ten projects, with this initiative setting a new benchmark in engineering complexity and operational innovation.
Our partnership with Knauf Insulation has matured through continuous engagement, culminating in this latest endeavor. It reflects our shared dedication to pushing the boundaries of industrial process technology and operational efficiency.
Project Overview: Elevating Steam Washing Efficacy
The focal point of this project is the overhaul of the existing steam washing setup, necessitated by the inefficiencies of the old system. The objective is twofold: to achieve a more controlled and regulated cleaning process and to enhance environmental and equipment safeguards against the harsh conditions intrinsic to steam washing.
Engineering Challenges
This venture is distinguished by its engineering rigor, necessitating precise material and component selection capable of withstanding extreme operational environments marked by high humidity, temperatures, and pressures reaching 600 bar. These factors demand an engineering approach that prioritizes material resilience, system reliability, and operational safety.
Solution Impact and Value
By introducing a system with enhanced controllability, we anticipate a significant reduction in steam consumption—addressing the cost implications of this resource. The system’s design flexibility facilitates operational economies and elevates washing efficiency. Innovations in design will bolster safety measures, reducing maintenance frequencies through the use of more durable and resistant materials. Additionally, the capability to manage the system remotely offers unprecedented control over this specialized process.
