Case Study: Mitigating heat and removing uncollected loose dust within the facility.
About the business.
A trusted Australian seed and grain merchant with a strong reputation in the industry, specialising in the buying and selling of all mungbean varieties, catering to both domestic and international markets with reliability and expertise. In addition to mungbeans, they source high-quality birdseed millets and sunflowers, ensuring a diverse range of products for their customers. Their operations encompass the complete supply chain, including the buying, cleaning, and selling of seeds in bulk or packaged form. With a commitment to quality and service, they stand out as a go-to supplier for seed solutions in the agricultural sector.
Business challenge & considerations.
Initially seeking to improve air quality and comfort throughout their operations, a trusted seed and grain merchant implemented dust extraction systems in several key areas. The entire plant, particularly two areas of main concern, requires attention to effectively manage dust and heat levels. While they have existing dust suppression and collection measures, they sought expert advice on removing loose dust that remains uncollected, as well as mitigating excess heat generated in various locations. By addressing these challenges, they aimed to enhance operational efficiency and create a safer working environment for their team.
Fanquip solution.
After conducting a thorough site assessment, Fanquip team recommended the installation of two roof fans alongside a wall circulator to enhance airflow throughout the facility. This strategic combination aimed to effectively push heat and loose dust towards the designated extraction points on the ceiling, ensuring optimal air quality and temperature control.
Product information.
The Fanquip Vertical Discharge Roof Fan is a durable and weatherproof exhaust solution, engineered for the efficient vertical discharge of heat, steam, dust, smoke, and explosive gases in various commercial and industrial environments. Ideal for applications requiring air to be expelled high above the roofline. Additionally, these roof fans excel in maintaining low noise levels, ensuring quiet operation without compromising performance, making them a reliable choice for effective ventilation in demanding settings.
Features:
- Butterfly damper to prevent rain ingress
- GRP adjustable pitch blades
- Hot dip galvanised casing
- IP55 Motor
- Vertical discharge of airflow
The Wall Mount Air Circulators are essential for improving air movement and maintaining optimal airflow in various settings, including commercial, industrial, and manufacturing environments. They are designed to promote consistent air circulation, reducing stagnant pockets and improving overall air quality. Air Circulators help regulate temperature, making workspaces cooler and more comfortable while also enhance ventilation in conjunction with exhaust systems by pushing stale or contaminated air towards extraction points.
Features:
- Australian made
- Washdown duty/hose proof
- IP56 rating
- Fixed head design – tilt & height adjustable
- GRP adjustable pitch blades
Additional project
Following the initial installation, a client requested an additional assessment of their ventilation needs to further improve dust extraction in their facility. After the evaluation, they decided to install two more Vertical Discharge Roof Fans, along with an additional Wall Plate Exhaust Fan, to better manage airborne dust. During the site visit, video footage was captured of the roof fans efficiently collecting and expelling dust, highlighting their real-time effectiveness. These upgrades have significantly enhanced the facility’s overall air quality and dust control.
Product information
The Wall Plate Exhaust Fan can function as both exhaust and air supply units. Their installation helps reduce excess moisture, minimising the risks of fungal growth and equipment corrosion by efficiently extracting steam and replacing it with fresh outdoor air. Designed and manufactured in Australia, Fanquip Wall Plate Exhaust Fans are built to withstand diverse climatic conditions and are ideal for a wide range of applications requiring the removal of heat, steam, and dust.
